CONCRETE ROAD
The last stretch of the Keno-C&rson
concrete highway, comprising the 18-
foot section in the city limits of
Carson, was opened, to traffic last eve-

tropolis and the capital with a continu

The length of the concrete road be
tween the cities of Keno and Carson
is 28.69 miles. Add to this the half
mile of new paving in Carson City from
the north boundary to the main track
of the Virginia & Truckee and the dis

STATE CANDIDATES VISIT
AT ELKO COUNTY FAIR
TWO PROCLAMATIONS
ISSUED BY GOVERNOR
Declaring among other things that it
is against the public policy .for the
board of school trustees to purchase an
automobile from one of the . members
of the board,, A. Tozzi, proprietor of
(he Carson City Garage, prepared today
to attack the legality of the purchase
of a bus lor transporting children 'from
Stewart to this city and return.
The purchase of the bus is illegal,
Pozzi holds, because school money in
the district has already been appropriat
ed for certain purposes and the item of
automobile purchase is not included in
the budget, that Frank Meder, from
whom the automobile was purchased,
is a member of the school board and
that there was no competitive bidding
on the new vehicle.
The written objection given by Tozzi
to the l)oard today is as follows.
"Carson City, Nev., Sept 15, 1922 j
"To the Honorable. Board of School I
Trustees, Carson City, Nevada,
"Gentlemen : You will please to take
notice that the undersigned, Archie
Pozzi, a resident and elector of Car
sou City, Nevada, and this school dis
trict, hereby objects to the alleged con
tract of purchase, or the consummation
thereof by your honorable board, for
the purchase of ore Chevrolet Auto
Truck from F. E. Meder, one of your
trustees, upon the following grounds:
"First, That said F. E. Meder is a
duly qualified and acting trustee and is
prohibited by law from being interest
ed in any such contract.
"Second, That the purchase of said
truck has not been proposed to com
petitive bidding ?s required by law.
"Tlifrd, That the purchase of said
truck will require moneys otherwise
appropriated in the budget of the school
district for other purposes and that
there is no surplus in said budget for
the purchase of said truck.
. "Fourth, That all the facts of the al
leged contract concerning said truck
are against" public policy and render
said contract void.
"The undersigned preserves the right
to contest the premises, judicially or
otherwise."
The new bus purchased by the Carson
City school district for use in transport
ing children from Stewart to this city
arrived in thiscitj last evening. The
bus has a seating capacity of thirty for
children in grades or twenty-five high
school pupils. The operation of the
car and ingress and egress is wholly
w"thin the driver's control. The wirr
dows may be opened or closed and the
storm windows are fitted with celluloid
panes, admitting sufficient light.

see their first game this year two weeks

Year by year, the national destruc
tion of life and property by fire has
been mounting until the total annual
loss of material wealth now approxi
mates the enormous sum of $845, '300,000.
This means the wiping out of needed
resources at the rate of about $1,375,000
a day, in addition to the destruction of
forty-eight lives daily," the fire-preven
tion proclamation states.
In our state, during tne five years
ended with 1920 our fire waste came to
the great total of $1,377,169, a spm that
would build 275 five-thousand-dollar
homes or many miles of good roads.
Thus it is evident that we have been
paying our full share of the tax levied
by carlessness and ignorance in handling
fire hazards.

Reno to schedule games for the sea
son have so far been unavailing, but it
is believed that at least three contests
will be arranged before the season is
over.
Yerington high school will not have
team this year, according to word
reaching Carson, and an expected con
test with the Mason Valley players is
consequently not believed to be forth
coming. The local school will prob
ably meet the Stewart Indians in sev
eral contests, however, and the squad
may be taken to Tonopah for a game
with the Nye county miners, who have
always been blessed with a strong team.
The Black Hawks of Reno are said
to have in their line-up some Univer
sity of Nevada students who are un
able to make the first team and the first
game is expected to be one of the hard
est of the season for Carson.
Forty students are out for practice
here and the first scrimmage was held
last night for a ten-minute period.

the automobile in June of this year and
at the same time turned in a smaller
vehicle valued at about $250. He
sought to pay taxes this year on the old
machine instead of the new, but the as-v-
sessor's contention that lie should be
taxed on the new machine was sus

A petition has been received by the
state board of finance requesting author
ization for a temporary loan of $10,000
by the city of Ely for the purpose of
repairing damaged streets, taking care
of the flood waters of Murray Creek, and
making permanent improvements of the
streets so repaired. ,
The petition sets forth that recent
heavy rains and cloudbursts have great
ly damaged certain streets in Ely and
have also created great damage to the
property of individuals besides stopping
up and rendering useless the flume which
formerly carried the waters of Murray
Creek through the city.
Those who enjoy a good laugh and
who does not will receive their fill by
art attendance at the Grand Theatre
tonight where, for the last time, a big
special comedy program is being pre
sented. "Too Much Business" the fea
ture of thejjill is an unusual produc
tion in seven reels which affords much
amusement in an exceptionally clever
way. Its funny strain is not farcial but
depicts some very funny situations.
Jimmy Aubrey also appears on the bill
in "The Blizzard" and although a storm
such as Jimmy experiences for two
reels is no joke, one takes advantage of
having the laugh at his expense.
At tonight's show presentation - of
trophies won in the recent tennis tourtia-
ment will be made to the champions by
Mayor A. B. Gray.

"Too Much Business,' a straight
comedy in seven reels, adapted from
Earl Derr Bigger's original story in
he Saturday Evening Post, "John Henry
and the Restless Sex," has been called
the greatest seven-reel comedy of the
past four years. It was made on the
Pacific Coast under the personal direc
tion of Jess Robbins. It is unique in
motion picture entertainment, as it is
not comedy in the sense usually ascribed
to motionjiitcures. There is not the
slightest touch of slapstick about it, al-

trough the comedy action occasionally
borders on the farcial. It is, really,
mere a parallel of the four-act stage
comedy of the successful sort which has
run so frequently on Broadway, New
l ork.
The plot of "Too Much Business" is
clearly defined, following closely the
inimitable Earl Derr Biggers story in
the Post, with an engrossing love story
interwined. The all-star cast is headed
by Tully Marshall, who starred on the
stage in such notable successes as "Paid
in Full," and "The City."
