A survey will be conducted
to determine the feasibility
of laying a new sewer line
approximately $500 feet long
in an area between Eighth
street and Imperial avenue along

limits, Ell Centre city councilmen
decided Wednesday night, following
report by Public Works Director
Walter Heinecke that an old line
: is defective and that the cost of re-
pairing it would exceed the cost of
an entirely new one.
SECTIONS SUNK
Heinecke told the city aldermen
that sections of the old line had
sunk and shifted out of place as
a result of seepage caused b. a cam
al that runs within 20 feet of the
sewer route.
City workers will dig a number
of holes considerable distance
south of the canal in order to test
the underground soil and determine
if it is sufficiently firm to support
new line without allowing it to
sink or dislodge at joints.
Heinecke estimated the cost OF
repairing three damaged sections OF

RUML PLAN
OPPOSED BY
COM kITTEE


WASHINGTON, March 20-The
House of Representatives Ways and
Means Committee majority report
outlined the Administrations tax
collection plan, sharply criticized
the counter proposal to skip the
1912 levies as like robbing Peter
to pay a bonus to Paul. To forgive
any Taxpayer one years taxes
means the debt he has already in
Cured and owes the Government
must be borne by some other tax
payer who may in some instances
be less able to pay it."
The report issued over the sigma
ture of Chairman Robert L. Dough-
ton, offered a preview of the bit
ter fight anticipated next week be-
tween Administration supporters and
hackers of the Ruml plan over just
how taxes shall be collected, and
whether 1912 taxes be dropped in
order to get the nations taxpayers
on a pay-as-you-earn basis.
Under the majority committee
plan the taxpayer would get on
such a basis if he elects to double
up by paying off two years taxes
in one year and might get as high
as a six percent discount of the
1943 taxes if they are paid in full
before June Is.

on behalf Of the Governor and him.
self, the totem is typical of Alaska
in formation and coloring.
However it is unique in that the
figures are not typical tribal en-
blems, but symbolically represent
the various divisions of the U. S.
Public Health Service.
Representations symbolic the de-
partments of Domestic Quarantine
National Institute of Health and
Research, the Marine Hospitals,

The totem was carved by Ketch-

Donated to Gov. Gruening and

Should DR.. Parrin be able to ac-
cept the invitation to visit Alaska
he will be asked to observe the
work of the Public Health Service
on the Alcan Highway, to make
stops at some of the interior towns
and to visit the principal coastal
cities.
BY way of explanation regard
ing the organization of the U. S.
Public Health Service, it is pointed
out that the bureau is the oldest
of governmental medical services,
having been organized in 1870.
with a comparatively small per-
sonnet of 1900 medicos selected
through very thorough examina-
lions, the bureau has ramifications
all over the country and in norm
al times representatives at almost
every post where there is an AM

are also ordinarily three consult
ants in Europe to check on Euro
pean disease and methods of pre-
venting its introduction into the
United States" he said.
In addition to the medical diyi-

Sammy Angott skyrocketed up the

Returning to the ring after six

like champion as he took the play
entirely away from Pep in the first
half of the fight and doggedly held
on to his edge.
The Associated Press score card
gave five rounds to Angott and
three to Pep, with two even. Angott
weighed 1341z, Pep 1903.
