Towns Authority to

Not Need Legislation
Good Government Slate
Charges City Officials With
Failure to Allow Referendum

In a barrage of words directed,
chiefly, at present and past ad-
miniStrationS in Rockville, the
Citizens for Good Government
candidates today charged that
town officials recently "scurried''
! to the State Legislature to secure
Especial legislation for new sewer
facilities here when Rockville
has had the statutory authority
to borrow money for any munich
pal Improvement.
In making its charge, the group
of candidates, who include Dick
ran Hovsepian for mayor, and
John Oxley, Wendell Turner,
Alex Greene and James Robert
son for council, asked why has
the city administration failed to
utilize this means during a per
iod when it was known that i'm
provementS to the water and
sewer were of immediate import" ."
After Legislation
The candidates attack came
after the General Assembly pass
ed legislation which will allow the
city to borrow funds up to 3 per
cent over the legal 10 per cent
statutory debt limitation in order
to install sewer facilities which
have been ordered by the State
Board of Health. Until passage of
the legislation during the last
hours of the legislative session,
such emergency borrowing had
been limited to 2 per cent over
/ the statutory limit.
The town had requested the leg
islation in order to secure need

Young Drops Taylor
Three Times in 10Th
By the Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. %
Paddy Young of New York
knocked out joey Taylor of Bing-
hamton tonight in the last round
of a scheduled hereunder. He
pounded numerically to put him
down for the third time at 1927
Of the 10th for the automatic
TKO.
Young weighed 165, Taylor
100.
For most Of the fight, Young
and Taylor appeared on fairly
even terms. Both had just come
out of temporary retirement and
at times both looked rusty. There
was little boxing and plenty of
smuggling, much of it Intellectual.
But in the 10th, Young seemed
to have made up his mind. He
f1oored joey first with a left.
joey took the mandatory eight
and Young put him down again
with combination of lefts and
rights. Again, Joey took the
count, appearing anxious to get
back into action, but when he
returned Young swarmed ali
over him with a series of hard,
accurate punches that put Tay-
Tor away for good.
The fight was nationally tele-
vised by the American Broad
casting Co. and the small crowd
at the War Memorial-small
comparatively for Norm Roths-
child's big drawing attractions
here-was quiet until Young
poured 1t on in the last round.

Cuban Kid Says Hand
Hurt in Olson Bout
Is as Good as New
BY The AssoeIassd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. o.
Kid Gavilah, who longs to be o
dancer but has realized he makes
more good Yankee dollars with
his fists. defends his welterweight
title here Wednesday night
against the challenge Of Johnny
Saxton of New York.
The Cuban Keed by-passed
the first five challengers in his
division to swap blows with the
24-year-old Saxton in a sched-
uled -15-round bout at Connie
Mack Stadium. And unless he's
lost the old touch, Gavilan
shouldn't have too much trouble
defending the title he won in
1851.
Gavilan hasn't defended the
147-pound crown since last Mo-
vember when he slaughtered
Johnny Bratton in a Chicago
ring. His last fight was in April
when he failed in an effort to
take the middleweight title from
Carl (Bobo) Olson. This will be
the champions 18th fight as a
professional. He has won 80, lost
II, drew four and scored ~
knockouts.
The 28-year-old Gavilan,
training for the bout at Sum-
NIT, N. j.. says the right hand
he claims to have injured in the
Olson fight is as good as new.
Gavilan went home to Came
quay, Cuba, oStensibly to rest the
hand. Then he signed for the
Saxton bout for July IA. later
cancelling the engagement on the
grounds x-rays disclosed a broken
bone. He has been operating a
song and dance troupe in Cuban
night clubs and is reported to
have lost as much as $4,000.
The Kid hopes to make up for
his show business losses in this
bout. Herman Taylor, who is
promoting the bout in co-opera-
ton with the International Box
ing Club of New York, says the
champion will draw 40 per cent
of an expected 100000 gate and a
share of the television receipts.
The fight will be televised ma
tionally, with the Philadelphia
area BACKED out within a 100
mile radius. SaXton is to get 20
per cent of the net gate and some
TV money. (The fight is to be
seen in Washington over WTOP.
