Water Issue Splits Council Councilman Opposes Use Of Bond Money In Annexations By MAX'HBNKBL "A city council split was indicated today over a proposal to use funds from the $5,500,000 bond issue for unexpected' expenditures which may reach $1,780,000 as result of the city's improvement and expansion programs. The proposal to-use some bond, money for purchase of additional private water facilities, to extend- fire protection (fire hydrants and hydrant-size mains) and water lines into annexed areas and lower lines under planned paving projects 'was discussed for. three.hours last night at 'city hall. The meeting was called by Councilman Harlow Phelps, chairman of the council's water com- m'Utee who has been outspoken in his insistence that the water bond program, including the digging of wells south of the should "not be jeopardized" by unanticipated drains on water funds to keep pace with- annexation improvement projects.

Pheips was the lone dissenter at Monday's council meeting when the council to purchase a water facility serving the recently-annexed a Park area, for $18,500. THB POSSIBLE council spilt over the policy point was indicated last night when only one other councilman, Dennis Weaver, who came late, and Mayor Fred Emery attended called by Phelps. the meeting Buchanan on intent of-tjie water bond program. toy his questioning of ers'that felt of ri'ew companies.and-expansion of lines fell' of the prpgram, which-was ''I'm certainly not oppdsecC to' annexation," Phelpis said, we can't put -the, cart." before the horse and -lines but no water to put in them." Near conclusion of the meet- Ing decided that Davis, Buchanan and Martin would-' work -'out after additional -'figures were secured, 1 on how a compromise, might be on expenditures for council consideration. IT WAS ALSO agreed that a recommendation be submitted to the council this, month for issuance of bonds, covering the $3,110,000 remaining in the $5,500,000 fund, early next year.

It was originally planned to make the second bond issue in the 1955-56 fiscal year. Martin reported that current contracts a commitments against the first issue of $2,390,000 total $2,470,000, A variety of figures were discussed at the meeting. The city's water department and Leigh Gardner of the engineering firm assisting on the water expansion program presented figures showing that approximately was needed to provide adequate fire protection in newly- annexed areas and to keep pace with paving projects. THKY ALSO estimated the figure would approximate $1,780,000 if proposed annexations are carried out. They cited seven potential annexation areas, including the Parkview and Randolph Park district annexed Monday, which they estimated would call for expenditure of more than $1,000,000.

City Mgr. J. Luther Davis said that annexation of only two of the areas, a portion of San Clemente and Country Club Manor, was imminent. It was estimated the two areas cited by Davis would require expenditures of only $200,000. Both Phil J.

Congreis Phone 2-6478 Next to the Paramount Theater Oh Mama! Audience Rocks In Glee At Junior League Follies By GOT THACKERAY Oh Mama! Many would be the shouts from the cradles of the young in Tucson this morning if the future leading citizens of our city had seen the Junior League Follies at the Temple of Music and Art last night. There must have been, during the last three weeks, a local, problem more pressing than the dust and mess' on the city streets--the problem of. baby sitting, Father didn't do it, for he lias been rehearsing dances' indigenous to Haiti, Hawaii and the supreme court of the United States. LAST-NIGHT Jun-. ior League' presented the.

third of its. series of Follies. At. doubtless, the children, cried; And at the temple the audience rocked -iwlth-'laughter. David Jones has fSrodUced; a' gay is brightly and beau: tifuliy Costumed.

This year, the league has- imported no outside performing talent, but the show was as successful as formerly, I is obviously impossible to write about the huge and capable cast as. individuals. The highest praise that I can give them is that they communicated their own enjoyment to the audience. If mistakes were made in' a dance routine, and there vere few, the "culprit" laughed it off 1 and so did the audience. There was no embarrassment and there should not have Blushingly, may I add that the "legs" of the Tucson chorus njight well-be the envy of many a Broadway ducer.

and Hollywood pro- STARS of the show were many. of Katie O'Dowd, and Weber Starns was delightful. Pantomime is unfortunately dying, but Katie, Lee and Weber gave it a new lease on life. Maxine Kimball disinterred Harriet Hornbustle, that sly reporter of local affairs; as an old devotee of Miss Hornbustle, I would consider this turn almost a raison d'etre for the Follies. Marge Manning returned with one of her wonderful comedy routines.

She was assisted by'Betty Ochoa and Joan Christy' in one of the show-stoppers of the evening, Beverly San-ells drifted' across the stage all evening in an Qlsen and Johnson routine, and looked charming in dping.it.." was a complicated dance number called Bar Room Blues UA Student's Work Published William T. Birmingham, former University of Arizona law student, will soon have his prize- winning essay, "A Critical Analysis of the Infringement, of Ideas," published by the Columbia University Press. Birmingham's paper won first prize of $150 in the-Nathan Burkan memorial competition for 1951 at the UA school of law. Designed to stimulate interest in the field of copyright law, this competition is sponsored annually by the of Composers, Authors Publishers in memory of its first general counsel. Herman Finkelstein, general attorney for the society, said today that Birmingham's pme-win- ning essay will appear in the Fifth Copyright Law symposium, a collection of 10 outstanding papers awarded the Nathan Burkan memorial, prize in 1951 and 1952.

which was capably danced by the men's chorus to a catchy, lyric sung in excellent -style by Joan. Christy. One of the newcomers was Pat Winter, who played parts which ranged from Cleopatra to a patient in a psychopath's office. In, the latter sketch she appeared LaMar On the basis of last night's performances, the Christy household must be something! WHO ELSE? That man of w.or.k, Hal Landon, and his capable Pauline, in variation of the etchings story. Ejhally, if mention Leo Krueger 1 the priceless men's is not because he outshone his fellow judges as dancer, but because, he' seemed to me to be' so delightfully attired.

On the more serious side, the Follies gave us an opportunity hear the charming, though rather light, lyric tenor, voice, of Jim-Drachman. He was nervous night. also Of the show itself a'few. things should be- said. It was probably a little long in the first half, and a.

movement of one.of the 'acts from the-first to the second part would settle that. It thought, a weak finale. The final production' number, Haitian Holiday, should carry straight into the song, "So Nice." As it is, the latter is rather anticlimactic. THE FIRST Landon skit is too long (the subject matter has been handled better and more amusingly by O'Neill and Samuel Taylor, to name only two). The Kinsey number could be cut chiefly because it is not up to the level of the show.

So there you are. If you can steal a ticket, go to see the Junior League'Follies of '53, You will be helping them to set up the local child guidance clinic, a wonderful, undertaking but don't fool yourself, you'll have a wonderful-time, Colossus Called Sham LONDON--ffl--The Colossus of Hhpdes, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, by a British scientist last night as a hollow sham. Herbert Maryon, sculptor- archaeologist, told a meeting of the society of antiquaries the giant statue was: l.r-Too small to stand astride the harbor of Rhode's. of thin bronze sheets instead of 'solid bronze. The statue, of the sun god Helios, was the work of a sculptor named Chares, who spent 12 years on his masterpiece.

It was erected in' 2SO B.C. An earthquake tumbled it 53 years later. The story handed through the years is that the statue stood with a beacon in its 'hands and one foot on each side of harbor entrance, enough clearance for to tiass underneath. SAID he has determined from a study of classical inscriptions that the statue was in fact 120 feet high 'and, the harbor 600 feet wide, which would make the famous straddle an. anatomical impossibility.

-Furthermore, he said, Ms research indicated the heroic figure was not cast in one -piece, as hitherto supposed, but was made of bronze sheets beaten into shape and riveted together. Maryon estimated the thickness of the sheets as equal to that of a British penny--about a 15th of an inch. Prescott Obtains Civic Center From Of PRESCOTT-- (IB--The city of Prescott today had possession of the Fagerberg civic center here for use as a recreation center. The building was deeded the city by the Chamber of Commerce which acquired it three years ago and until' last July used it as a business office. However, a stipulation.

In transferring the building requires that it revert to the Chamber if not used for recreation. The structure Is expected to be used first'by the city's newly organized teen-agers' club.
