jap FeudaIism

Nearly 500 years ago Japan, cut
off from the world at large, had
developed a military feudalism of
warrior lords and peasant serfs
which closely resembled Europe S.
In the late 15OOs European traders
and priests penetrated Japan's
shell, were later expelled. By 1915
foreign influence was wiped out, and
Japan withdrew into a shell of iso-
lationism for almost ESQ years.

 Councilman William reported his Health Committee had been unable to find a solution to the problem of where to locate the Health Center, but that other or ganizations are now working on 1t. The Mayor said Commissioner of Health c. Earl Albrecht has ad- vised him that the Health Depart ment does not plan to push the Center out of the Territorial Build ing onto the street immediately, but that the space in the building IS needed for expansion of the Tuber- culosis Division of the Department.
 The City Engineer reported that he has been unable to find the out fall of a plugged South Franklin street sewer and that tracing the line down may cost several hum dred dollars.
 Appraisal Bul
 For almost the first time in mem ory, the usual motion to pay bills evoked opposition last night. In- cluded among the bills was the final statement from Black and Veatch, showing a balance due of S9,206,73; already paid on account S2312.20; the total appraisal cost $11,51893. In an accompanying letter, the engineering firm ex- pressed regret that the utility ap- praisal cost had necessarily ex- ceeded the budget allocation Of $1o000.
 The motion to pay the bills. in- cluding that of Black and Veatch, was carried-but by three to two margin only. Councilman Lea and Nielsen voted no; Lea because of his consistent stand against under taking the appraisal and Nielsen because he thought Black and Veatch should be paid only up to the amount budgeted.

AS out lined, the recreation building would be a one-story reinforced concrete structure containing a swimming pool, rifle range, club rooms, kitch- en, showers, locker room, office and lounge.
