'Residents Get i On Sewer Line Congested Area Near Center Of Town Started Plea Five Years Ago By A. K. That residents of the so-called underprivileged districts, portions of which are, only a few blocks from the city 'hall, earnestly desire sanitation for their homes Is evidenced by the fact that three petitions for sewers now confront municipal officials. One of the petitions has been on a semlaotlvo basis for more than years. Another has been returned to the signers with the explanation that other plans by the city engineer will bring a sewer to the district.

A third' was sent back to the district In which It originated for additional signatures. Residents of the Southwest addition which starts In the lowland immediately east of South Main street and continues west for several blocks first circulated a petition for a sewer in 1940. Arizona law gives control to city councilman in the matter of ordering sewers constructed. If a petition is presented with 50 per cent or more signatures of property owners in the district affixed, the council can order the Improvement. However, the municipal legislators can pass the petition.

They can always point to the fact that In certain areas.it Is possible that many of the property owners may not be able to complete assessment payments. $150 For Each fn the case of the Southwest addition, city officials have estimated that the charges to each property would total about $100. 4 This spread over a 10-year period would cause the property owners to face the responsibility. of pay- Ing $15 and interest each year. Southwest addition residents maintain' these payments can be met and yet, they say, Mayor H.

Tills will not be ready for presentation to the council for more than a week, he stated. Then, if the council sees fit to Initiate the sewer project, months will be required preparation of maps, plans and specifications, ad vertising and other legal technl calltles.

(Photos by Reggie Russell.) Reno Divorces Much Opposed In S. Survey Of Opinion Shows Few Want Recognition Of Easy Separations By.

GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute Of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. Aug. Reno divorce has come to be regarded by many as an American institution, the American voting public doss not appear to be so fond of it. In fact, if the question were put' to a vote in the other 47 states this time, a would have the courts in their own states re fuse to recognize divorces which were granted in Reno courts. This is particularly true of voters who are 50 years of age or more.

Fiftysix per cent of them think Reno divorces should not be recognized by courts in their own states. This contrasts with the vote of younger people--21 through 29 years of age --who 'are about evenly divided on the question. The Supreme Court of the United States late in May gave other states the right to deny Nevada's legal doctrine that anyone spending six there has established legal domicile and is entitled to a divorce in the state. The May decision upset an carlter court ruling that citizens of one state may establish legal residents i'or the sole purpose of getting a divorce another state.

Half Of Japs Already Have i 17,987 Were In Camp Shortly After World War II Began Iowa To Keep State Fair In Postwar Days PGSTON, Aug. 11. than half of the 17,987 persons of Japanese ancestry brought hero shortly after the outbreak of the war, remain at the Colorado river relocation center, according to Duncan Mills, project director.

The state fair may be a declining institution In Industrial states, -but Lloyd B. Cunningham says it has a brilliant postwar In the agricultural midwest. Cunningham, secretary of the Iowa state fair board, Is 'beginning to get Impatient for the day when war restrictions can be lifted and the 387-acre state fair grounds at Des Molnes can be reopened. Demand for tho fair is beginning to surge through the cornbelt, and it makes the fair board feel good. In the first year or two after Pearl Harbor, nobody seemed to miss the exposition and there was some fear that it would have to IJQ written off as a war casualty.

But now, there is no doubt that Iowa farmers want their annual exposition. It belongs to agriculture to an extent which probably equalled by any other institution of its type. "For a full, complete agricultural program, there Is no fair that can compote -with Iowa," Cunningham held, as as 6,000 campers nt once. Among the more than 50 buildings on the.grounds arc four dormitories for boys and girls. There is a -variety of entertainment, but Cunningham says interest is shifting from horse racing, once Che central attraction, to the free vaudeville acts provided by the fair management.

Old Timers Like Races The old timers are sorry about that. The exciting pageantry of tiers and pacers 1 i smartly around a dirt track, draw- ng light sulkies driven by goggled drivers in colorful silks, is something they can't forget. Cunningham doesn't think-, that "running" races have much chance as a substitute. A man who has worked with horses the way a farmer has is not likely- to be impressed by a sport which he regards as chiefly a gambling device. The last state fair was hold in 1941.

A few months later came Poarl Harbor. The following year, the fairground buildings were occupied by the 'Army air forces for a storage depot, and the grounds still arc closed to the public. But while there is to be no state a Sets Corn Reduced WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. (JP)-The agriculture department forecast this year's corn crop at 2,844,478,000 bushels and the wheat crop at 1,140,253,000 bushels.

Last year's corn crop was 3,228,361,000 bushels and the average production in tho 10 years, 1934-44, was 2,433,060,000 bushels. Last crop was'- th'e largest of record. This year's wheat crop establishes a record. Last year's crop was 1,078,647,000 bushels, and the 10-year average is 789,080,000 bushels. Winter wheat production is estimated at 830,969,000 bushels, compared with 764,073,000 last year, and a 10-year average of can voters feel about Reno divorces, the institute had field reporters in all parts of the country ask this question: "Do you think the courts of this state should recognize divorces granted by Reno courts?"

Taking these states as a unit, the institute found 4S per cent In favor of having their states recognize Reno divorces, 35 per cent opposed, 17 per cent with no opinion. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.

(JP)-The war labor board has to order severance pay for workers in an aircraft plant because of "special circumstances prevailing in the 'industry." Stating that "it was known from the start that postwar aircraft production would amount to only a small percentage of wartime production levels," the board said such an order would not be "fair or equitable." "If such a plan is to be adopted, we think it should be. done either by voluntary agreement of the parties or by appropriate legislation," Public Member Lewis M. Gill said in a majority opinion. The ruling, made in a dispute between the CIO United Automobile Workers and the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft corporation's Stinson division at Grand Rapids, brought from dissenting labor members the assertion that congress has "utterly failed" to solve the problem of workers who "traveled to Airframe plants from all sections of the country, and now are left stranded in communities where they have but a tern porary home." would get the emperor to lift the ban on horse racing in Japan.
