nue. Harry X. Green also will attend.
The preliminary work actually

similar to one now being conducted
over a two-year period in Norfolk
1t is intended To- provide the fac
tors necessary for a scientific" re-
assessment.
Turner Is Low Bidder.
County civic groups have urged
that a more detailed and complete
reassessment be made and the State
experts are being called for that
purpose.
Lee T. Turner, Washington build
er, was declared the low bidder for
construction of a north wing to te
courthouse. The board, howrer
deferred until its Decemrrr 10
meeting the awarding of . contract
so that financing methods can De
prepared.
The Turner firm Did $377 ,s28 and
s2SO,S57, respectively, for a full-size
wing and for a wing a little more
than half chat size. The smaller
is beins considered because the
presert Jail must be partially razed
to make way for a full-length wing.
The board also approved storm
sewer construction project for which
s25, 900 was appropriated recently.
approximately 18 locations through
out the county are affected. SINH

80 days to give time for an appeal
He said bond for the Morse Bougler

attempt to force the County Board

ton of a county incinerator to the
Morse Bougler firm. the low bidder
rather than to the Nichols Engineer
ing and Research Corp, also Of New

Water Officials
Ask $40 Million
For Expansion
Program Based
On ] go Population
Of 1000, 900

District water officials will pre-
sent a $70,000,000 plan for a 20-year
expansion OF .the city water system
to Engineer Commissioner Gordon
R. Young early next month. it was
disclosed last night.
David Auld, superintendent OF the
Water Department, said the plan Is
based on an estimate that the popu-
lation of the Nations Capital will
reach 100000 by 1870. The Dis
vrict's population now is $4,000.
Brig. Gen. Young asked his water
experts for the plan last month, an
nouncing that the District faces a
precarious water situation with coll
sumption nearly equal TO pumping
capacity already.
The current study, headed by Mr..
Auld and E. A. Schmidt, chief of
the Water Supply Division, adds up
to drastic revision of a forecast
made two years ago by the Army
Chief of Engineers and the District
Engineer Department. At that time,
it was estimated that Washington
water consumption would. rise to
64,000,000 gallons daily by 1855.
Level Already Reached.
Mr.. Auld said that level was
reached early this year-six and
one-half years before it should have
been.
The estimate of a 20-year expan-
sion plan cost three years ago was
$40, ,000, 900, Mr.. Auld said. Increased
construction costs now have nearly
doubled that figure.
Some of the expansion projects
will have to be inaugurated almost
Immediately, Mr.. Auld declared, if
the District is to keep abreast of
present water needs.
Water officials figure they can
barely equal the supply and demand
of water fof another IL months
with a 1850 fiscal budget of $685.
900.
Within the next five years, Gen
Young said. no less than $1,000 900
and no more than 100000 will
have to be found for the task of
breaking even without re-
gard to the future. The money for
this portion of the expansion plan
could be obtained in any of three
ways: increased water rates, an ad-
ditional Federal grant or a special
loan. d.
3 Pumping Stations Needed.
The District has two pumping sta
tions-one at Dalecarlia and the
other on Bryant street N.W.-and
needs three more. A $4,000 900 pro-
ject is already under way to re-
habilitate the Bryant street station.
The plant at Dalecarlia should be
replaced at a cost of $4,000, 900,
Mr.. Auld said. ,1Hs

Old spanish Swindle''
Racket

IF YOU GET A LETTER offering
you an interest in a large sum of
money supposedly locked up in a
trunk if you will just send the own
er a few thousand dollars to pay a
fine and get the trunk out of u.s.
toms, notify the postal service at
once.
It's the old Spanish Swindle" in
circulation again. There has been
a large increase in the number of
such letters received in the United
States of late and several have been
received by Montanans, according to
postal authorities.
In most such letters, the writer,
usually anonymous, claims he is a
prisoner" in Mexico City and needs
only a few thousand dollars to pay
a fine and get back from the Gus
toms his trunk containing $375,000.
The letter usually offers a third
of the fortune if the recipient will
send a few thousand. If he does,
it's the last he will ever see of his
money, postoffice inspectors yarn.
Because you have occasional
spells of dependency, don't despair.
The sun has a sinking spell every
night but it rises again all right
the next morning.

AGA Assistance
Few reservoirs could be found in
this area before the advent of the
agricultural conservation program
administered by the production and
marketing administration. The tech
nical assistance provided through the
agricultural conservation program
was of considerable value to these
ranchers for through it they were
able to get their reservoirs staked
out for construction and designed so
as to withstand heavy run-off.
The conservation payment o v
cred about half of the cost of con-
struction, the other half coming out
of the rancher's own pocket. The
rancher in paying a part of the cost
is paying for flood control. The
rancher was eligible for program as
sistance only if he did not over
stock his range. In some instances
the ranchers had to either reduce
their livestock numbers, or else OBJ
tain additional range.
The reservoirs built by these
ranchers on Poison creek as well as
on many other minor streams and
guillies may be considered as a part
of the Missouri basin development
plan. These reservoirs provide wa
ter for use on the range and at the
same time they reduce the amount
of silt that reaches the large res
ervoirs built by the bureau of rec
lamation for irrigation purposes. The
water courses on which these stock
water dams are constructed are the
source of only a minor part of the
water available for irrigation, yet
they are the source of most of the
silt deposited in the larger irrigation
reservoirs.
