PHONE FA 3-3161 Northern Lights In Spectacular Showing Here Glare i Alarms Causes Skies Some; Fire Search Northern lights made a spec tacular appearance in western Nevada skies Sunday night, the third appearance in as many nights, but in this case an alarming appearance. Some local residents misinter preted the lights as the glare of some gigantic grass or brush fire and one call sparked a three-hour search by the Sparks fire department for the elusive blaze. Bureau of land management crews in Car son received a similar call but accurately passed it off as the aurora. VANTAGE POINT The most descriptive picture of the lights came from an uniden tified observer who saw the lights from a vantage point near Galena creek about a mile from highway 395. He said the rays, which ap peared somewhat as sunbeams, were continually changing and varied in color combinations.

Hav ing seen them before in the Pa cific northwest, he proclaimed these lights to be one of the most beautiful displays he had ever seen. Sparks firemen received a call about p.m. that there ap parently was a fire in Wilcox canyon and searched for it until about 1:15 a.m. One ranch house was evacuated when it appeared that the sky glow, which normally indicates a fire hereabouts, was moving in the-direction of the building. REDDISH LIGHT The U.

S. Weather Bureau here has watched the horizon display with interest and reported today that the Sunday light was reddish lending credence to the fire alarms. Similar displays Friday and Saturday nights were of a greenish cast, the bureau says. It is difficult to see the brilliant electrical display from Reno because of the city-caused glow in the sky, according to the bureau. Away from the city lights, the northern lights are easily seen.

While the phenomena draws interest because of its unusual appearance is lainy common in the far north. Its cause is the discharge of electricity through ionized gases in the atmosphere, producing light in a manner somewhat sfmiliar to a fluorescent tube. Science has yet to determine what causes the electrical discharges, the weather bureau adds. The lights have been seen in the past as far south and the extreme southern end of Cali fornia, though the farther south the lights appear the paler is their glow.

With Zoller are Harry Galloway and Robert Bechtel of the state agriculture staff. Burge says Pahrump valley is a one variety district, only Acala cotton is grown there. The seed must enter the state "under permit, Burge added, i Blair Report On Gas System Survey on'File Four Inspections Show 400 Leaks; Mains Replaced.

Reno's entire gas system has been surveyed by the Sierra Pacific Power Co. at least four times in the last six months, with 400 leaks discovered and more than a mile of mains replaced, Reno city officials were informed today in a summary of an investigation ordered, by the city in April. The report, prepared by George Y. Blair, of the George S. Nolte engineering firm in Palo Alto, states that 235 of the 400 leaks have been repaired, and that those remaining are not dangerous and have been scheduled for repair.

REACH CONCLUSIONS General conclusions of the report are as follows: 1. In the past, the gas system in Reno has not been maintained or inspected in a manner satisfactory to the public safety. 2. Present testing and inspection program is adequate if continued. 3.

In the past the Public Serv-vice Commission has not had adequate rules and regulations governing the gas distribution system within the city. 4. The rules and regulations adopted by the commission since the Sierra street explosion and fires in February are adequate if they ane amended to cover local special conditions. 5. Factors concerning pipeline corrosion should be studied.

6. Continuing effort should be made to remove all abandoned gas service lines and unnecessary mains from service. STRONG EMPHASIS In his report, Blair, placed strong emphasis on gas main corrosion. The report states at one point "repairs, however, are possibly being made without sufficient attention being focused on local conditions and causes of pipe failure." At" another it says testing has shown that "soils in Reno vary from very corrosive in nature to non-corrosive in nature," adding that the corrosive, situations fol low no definite pattern. Monthly reports by the power company to the Public Service Commission are criticized as "lacking in quantitative data." According to the investigation, the power company reports are narrative of work done ana leaks found, but offer no data as to the cause of leaks, condition of pipe, location, of leaks, age of pipe, character of soil and other pertinent data.

VALUABLE DATA The report concludes by stat ing that the mass of work being done by the company in inspect ing and repairing might provide valuable technical data, and that determination of the cause of a leak is as vital as locating one. The report uses such words as 'possibly" and "might" with re gard to the company's checking causes of leaks. Probable reason for the careful wording is a statement near the beginning of the report to the effect that the power company has been reluctant to make operation and maintenance records available to the city. The report says the company has taken the position that the city investigation conflicts with the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission. Full credit is given to the power company for pushing hard on the testing program in the past five months.

The report shows that an average of less than 40 (maintenance operations a year for the years 1953 through 1956 has jumped to 185 maintenance operations in the five month period under study in 1957. The testing program by the gas company is scheduled to go on forever, according to a test program it submitted to the utility commission. The program includes the following: 1. Survey of underground struc-tres three time a year in business areas and once a year in residential areas. 2.

Gas indication surveys twice a year in buildings of large use. 3. Bar-hole survey as governed by conditions, 4. Vegetation survey once a year. The bar hole survey is one in which holes are drilled in the ground near gas lines to check for leakage.

The vegetation survey is a visual one based on the fact that leaking gas has visible effects on vegetation near pipe lines. after a low swoop to check the ground closer. SKIDS OVER PEAK The Neptune hit about 10 feet from the peak and skidded over the top just short of a rock formation. Eight of the nine men aboard piled out. An enlisted man, Jerald E.

A helicopter rescued all of the survivors short minutes after the explosion despite difficulties of handling the craft at that altitude. SEARCH REDUCED Meanwhile, the search for the F2H Banshee jet which vanished Thursday night was reduced to a minimum after four days of intensive search by more than 50 Navy, Air Force and Civil Air Patrol craft.

State Sanitary Engineer Wallace White has asked the citv modify an older part of the plant, and Kinnison said the city engineering department has already made studies of modifications which might cost $70,000 to NO MONUMENT City Engineer Elliott Cann said this morning that he had no desire to "make a monument" of the sewer plant, and that some factors now being considered may lessen the necessity for improvements. One of the factors is a sewer survey to be completed soon which so far has indicated that Reno's major problem is plain water being combined with sewage in the sewer lines. Cann said that if the city can separate the sew age functions from the storm drain functions, it will cut down the load on the treatment plant. MAY ADD LIME He said he also wants to study the effect of a nlan for adding lime to sewage entering the plant, which would make the sewase alkaline and easier to treat. Thomas Kean.
