C. Jameson, New York capitalist, had contributed to the Hoover campaign in 1928. Of this, he testified. $65,300 went to Bishop Cannon. The witness said there was no explanation of the contribution to Cannon, who was chair man of the anti-Smith committee In Virginia in 1928.

cars are tagged and the owners call at the police station the chief tells them not to do It again." "is he the Judge?" someone asked. "No," Justl replied, "but he says tne juage aeiegated him that power. In the discussion the First street request was almost forgotten until the mayor said the police regulations could control the situation and could allow parking on First street if de sired. On suggestion of the mayor the council by unanimous vote agreed to accept a deed from the county of Washce to the county's share of Blanchfleld airport. The commissioners, several days ago, declared the ex pense of running the airport was exceeding the Income to such an extent that the county would gladly give the city full ownership and control of the field.

The deed will be prepared and formally presented within a few days. The employment of Sardls Sum-merfleld as special attorney to act for the city in defending the injunction suit filed against It by the Sierra Pacific Power Company In the water meter controrversy was authorized after considerable discussion. Justl moved the appointment of Summer field. Ross asked whether the city attor- ney needed help In the matter and also wanted to know how much Sum-merfield's fee would be. City Attorney Pike said he had not asked for help but could use it.

Mayor Roberts said $300 would be a reasonable fee. Justl did net want to fix the fee but other councllmen objected to this procedure and finally the motion was passed employing Summerfield for $500. J. H. White made a formal request for a license to operate a detective agency.

Councllmen Justl and Frank both objected and the application was voted down. "Better frame that, Joe." said the mayor to City Clerk Joseph Reese when the clerk read a letter from the president of the Y. M. C. thanking the council for cancelling the first four payments of the Center street bridge assessment charged to the Y.

M. C. A. "It's so seldom the council receives a letter of commendation I believe it should be preserved." the mayor add- GAVE UP NOPE OF EVER BEING WELL "I had given up hope of ever seeing a well day again until I started Sargon and then everything changed for me. JOHN B.

I steadily lost weight and strength. Four bottles of Sargon restored my lost weight, my strength and energy aire back and I walk for miles without getting tired. My appetite Is so good I can hardly wait from one meal to the next and my digestion Is per fect. Sargon Pills stimulated my liver and regulated me perfectly." John R.

Lowe. 1708 W. Vernon Los Angeles, or St. Regis Hotel, Packed in tomato sauce, mustard sauce or oil. 4 OF With the mayor pounding on his dealt with a ruler to speed up proceedings and at times admonishing the members of the council, especially Councilman Justl, the regular meet-Ing of the city council last night provided entertainment Xor a large gallery, with several students from the Journalism department of the university as special guests.

Councilman Nichols opened the session with A request for the Installation of sixteen new fire plugs and this stirred the innermost feelings of the mayor because the fireplugs cost $5 a month, once they are Installed, and $80 a month Is quite a sum annually. But the council authorized the installation Immediately and forthwith. George B. Thatcher, representing a group of property-owners with property abutting on the Truckee river between Wlngfleld park and the Riverside bridge, tossed the next piece of business upon the clerk's desk when he asked the city to give back the rlght-of -way It has for a road or walk along the river bank. Justl and Nelson opposed the proposal and the mayor pounded on the desk to emphasilza the fact that' he favored It.

The request was granted. "Next" said the mayor, and City Attorney Pike took the floor to es pouse the cause of the wandering dogs of Reno and the Reno Society for the Prenevtlon of Cruelty to Animals Pike explained that the association wanted to handle the dog question here and sought a city subsidy. Mayor Roberts declared the city had always taken care of the dogs and made money out of the venture. Pike took exception to this remark and said the iwciety should be given charge of the dogs. Justl Interposed with a statement that the city could not subsidize the society and could not give It the money collected from dog licenses.

Mrs. E. Gordon, who lives at the Riverside Hotel and who organized the society, said the organization Is not seeking any specific sum of money. Councilman Justl, Nelson and Frank were named on a committee to look Into the matter. Permission to Install an ornamental gate In Newlands park was requested by Dr.

W. B. Johnston and the matter was referred to a committee. Superintendent of Parks Dleterlch was ad-Tlsed that the city owned two email parks In Newlands Manor that were not being cared for. Dleterlch said he did not know the city owned any parka in that district.

"Well we do," said the mayor and a councilman or two. and Dleterlch said he would look after them and water the shrubbery. Then to make the meeting Interesting the sewer extension question popped up again. Sewer extensions have been discussed regularly at meetings of the council since the city extended its boundaries a couple of years ago and took In a considerable amount of unsewered territory. On motion of Councilman Knox, seconded by Ross, the chairman of the pewer committee.

Councilman Frank, was directed to present a complete survey of sewer conditions in Reno at the next meeting of the council. This was dona after the mayor declared the city could not extend sew-er In the West Sixth street district without extending them to other districts. A request that the city ordinance be amended to allow the Installation of one thousand-gallon gasoline storage tanks was authorized. The limit Is 550 gallons now. "Why not make It five thousand gallons and 6ave the trouble of changing the ordinance again?" the city attorney Interjected.

Automobile parking and general enforcement of the traffic regulations In the city created considerable discussion In which the mayor and Councilman Justl exchanged compliments. Councilman Nelson suggested I that the city take steps to acquire from the Southern Pacific Company the use of land between Center and 1 Virginia streets that will be vacated by the company when the freight sheds are moved, for an automobile parking ground. Nelson Justl and Frank were named to take the matter up with the company. Then a petition signed by several merchants asking that parallel parking be allowed on the north side of First street between Virginia and Sierra strets was read. Someone moved that the ordinance be amended to allow parking there.

Justl, chairman of the police committee, declared the parking laws were not being enforced and said If they were enforced the parking probleem would be solved. "You are chairman of the police committee." the mayor declared. "Why don't you 6ee they are enforced?" "I trv." said Justl.
