Bailey. The resolu- tion concluded by saying: “Without ap- | pearing to recede from the position | tofore taken by this association, | e respectfully suggest, in order that | a consolidation shall be effectuated at the present session, that, if necessary, isuch concessions or compromises be al- Jowed as will tend to assure a consoli- dation, which concessions or compro- | mises, however, should not be such as | Jmay be unduly prejudicial to the public | interest.” George F.

He said he had been informed that all of the 75 additional inspectors, for which Congress has been asked to pro- vide, were to be used at new bridges to be opened soon at Detriot, Brownsville, Texas, and elsewhere. He arguéd more inspectors were needed and declared on one of the main New York- Mon- treal highways there was only one in- spector at points where from 500 to 1,000 automobiles passed daily. “We either should have enough in- spectors, or we should say ‘Come on’ and | let them pass without attempting in- spection,” he added. Recently George J. Harris, assistant commissioner of immigration, declared before a House appropriations subcom- mittee that many aliens also were being | smuggled across the Mexican border. | COLORADO RIVER DAM BILL VETO IS ASKED Arizona Senate Passes Memorial Requesting Coolidge Not to Approve Measure. By the Associated Press. PHOENIX, Ariz., December 21.—The Arizona Scnate yesterday passed a| memorial addressed to President Cool- idge, asking him to veto the Swing- Johnson measure calling fory the build- ing of a high dam on the Colorado | River. The memorial held the bill unconsti- tutional “in that it attempts to allocate waters of the Colorado River belonging to the States of Arizona without the consent of Arizona,” and also protested that its passage “would result in the reclamation of land in Mexico and for- | ever deprive arid lands in the United States of water essential to their development.” The memorial concluded: “The meas- | ure does injustice to Arizona by taking that which belongs #b this State, and for all time turning it over to the State of California. It is based on the theory that might, and not justice, makes right.” Christmas WE S;nce"e]y ex- tend to you and yours “The Season’s Greet- ings” and Heartiest Good Wishes for your happiness during the Christmas Holidays.
