Water SERVICE
Council Plans New Water Line
to Savoy Location; Meets
Again Tuesday.

The city will attempt to secure a
priority on pipe so that water service
to the Savoy location can be con-
tinued.
This was decided at the council
meeting Tuesday night, when it was
brought out that construction work
on the Zenith mine would mean that
the water in the line now serving
the property there would soon have to
be shut off.
The city engineer and superinten-
dent of the water and light depart
ment were instructed to confer with
company officials to see if temper
airy line could be put in until action
by the government on the city's re-
quest to purchase pipe was forth
coming.
Engineer Waino Somero estimated
the cost of a new line between $2,0O(
and $500, depending on the size OF
pipe. There are eight houses served al
the present time.
Alderman Toimi Ahola opposed con-
tinuing service because of the cost o.
the new line, which he described a!
prohibitive. He pointed out that las
fall the council had served notice or
Savoy residents that water would b'
discontinued after 80 days, and TIT
Zenith officials gave permission to TIT
| city to maintain the line during tina
time.
Expenses for May were $27,OO4.1 II
the city clerk reported. Average TO
the remainder of the year is SIS,
716.25 monthly, he said.
| A report of the audit of the city
books for 1941 has been filed witt
the city clerk and was given t
council members.
The war production board has n
objections to light line extensions
provided materials are now in stoc
and are not needed for maintenance
during the next two years, the cit
clerk reported.
The council will meet in adjourne
session Tuesday night to consider bid
on street surfacing material. The cit
attorney will make report on tn
personal injury claim against the cit
made by Carolina Baldwin.

MISTEk TO EXAMINE RIFLES
HERE FOR RESALE TO Army

Army ordnance officials have ap-
proved National Rifle association
plan by which an Ely man has been
designated to examine privately owned
rifles here which may be suitable for
military use.
He is Joseph Mistek, 425 East
Boundary street.
The MIRA plan was submitted in.
cooperation with war department
request last month to civilians owning
Springfield and Enfield rifles in SER
viceable condition to sell back to the
government those not too drastically
altered for army use.
Under the accepted plan the secre-
taries of 1900 NRA clubs and other
officials of this nationwide organi-
cation have been instructed to examine
for suitability all rifles of those types
| which the owners may wish to return.
In past years many 30 calibre
| Springfield 1903 and Enfield 1917
rifles have been purchased from the
government by Sportmen in this
country and may have been radically
| altered so that it no longer would
be practical to refit them to military
/ standards. In order to present need
less shipping of those guns, the War
Department directed owners to take
their rifles to the ordnance officer at
the nearest army post for prelimin-
airy examination before shipping them
to the ordnance depots specified as
receiving points. 1t is believed that
with the number of examining experts
increased by the recognition of the
MIRA officials several thousand addi-
tional rifles will be turned in by
persons not handy to an army post OF
who have no means of transportation
The association disclosed that there
apparently had been some misunder-
standing among gun owners as to
what use would be made of the rifles
turned in. AS far as can be deter
mined from the War Department, they
will be used only by American troops
Ordnance officials have indicated
that owners who resell their guns
will be reimbursed on a scale OF
prices based an maximum of $47.64
for Springf1elds and $3.50 for En-
fields of service pattern in excellent
condition. Prices will be reduced
according to condition, expected life Of
the weapon and the amount of labor
and material rquired to put the rifle
back into "as issued" condition. Tha-
payment will not be made, however
until the gun has been received a.
one of the specified ordnance depots
The decision of the preliminary exam
liner, whether an army or recognized
MIRA official, is not to be regarded a!
official acceptance by the army, no.
, is any preliminary examiner author.
