COUNCIL NENBERS IGNORANT OFLAW Thought Wooden Buildings Were Allowed in Fire District If any cxtension is made in the limits of the fire district, it will be Elighf, according to action taken by the ordinance committee of the common council last night when the members present learned that no new construction or additions 1o existing buildings can be made with- in the fire district except of fireproof Councilman F. L. Conlon xth ward, who was a mem- committee which recom- cxisting fire district years ago, cautioned the to proceed carefully as it is & scrious matter and one which can provoke great difference of opinion. Only (wo residents appeared at the meeting, which had been adver- d as a public hearing. They were rick Howley of South Main street and Eugenc Dyson, a member of the building commission. Mr. Howley #aid he had been in the jobbing bus- iness off and on for 25 years and was RUIL interested in - building regula- tions, although not now in the bus- iness. He felt that there should be some leeway in the restrictions and Commissioner Dyson pointed out that it would be unfair to property owners and land developers to so ex- tend the fire district limits as to in- clude practically the entire city. The proposed extension should not Le made at once, he thought, and he said hie had 1o objection to a grad- ual change in the lines. Alderman Valk and Councilmen Hanes and Holt said they were not aware that only fireproof materials could be used in buildings within the fire district. They were under the fnipression that the restrictions ap- plied only to roofs and garages but Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford explained that they applied to all Fuildings. It was voted, on motion of Councilman Conlon, to defer ac- tion and meet later with the build- ing inspector, fire chief and members of the huilding commission relative to possible extensio ARID NEVADA LAND UINDER WATER ONCE Iake Lahontan Covered Present Desert Many Ages Ago Lovelock, Nev, March 27 (UP) | ~The barren stretches of Nevada once furnished rich pasture land for | thousands of animals; its valleys were covered with deep waters of the ancient Lake Lahotan and its mountains are covered ~with ver-| Gure, is dhe theory advanced by | John T. Reid, Lovelock naturalist, | in explanation of the finding of the | metacarpal hone of an elephant by | road builders in a gravel pit at the | depth of twenty feet. ‘The head of a buffale, which | had been found in a gravel pit four miles southwest of Lovelock was do- | nated to the University of Nevada | recently,” Reid said. “This discovery | was cousidered of special import- ance in the study of old Lake La- | hotan, which not &0 long ago cov- | ered the entire area in which the city of Lovelock is now located. At that time, probably not longer than 1,000 years ago, when the lake was at its greatest height, Lovelock was under feet of water. “The head of a species of extinct horse,” continued Reid, “was found In the gravel banks northwestward of Pyramid Take. Mors recently, only iwo years ago, the hones of an extinct species of horse was found near Woolsey. It is probable the bones of the two horses came from the same species.

All’these signify that these animals were numerous and ranged over considerable of the western conti- nent. The buffalo did mot confine himseltf to the prairie regions of the middle west, but he, too, was an animal that ranged all over the west. “The discovery that has just been made, establishes that the buffalo must have been very numerous hereabouts, to have his remains found in two widely separated places, and it tells a story as well, that not over a thousand years ago. perhaps much- less, these deserts were fertile to such an extent as to have provided food for countless numbgrs of wild animals.” ROCKEFELLER, JR., BACK FROM EGYPT YACATION Returning Tourist Says Removal of Stewart Shows Investors Consider Integrity as Well as Dividends. New York, March 27 #—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was back today from a threce months’ vacation in Egypt and Palestine. Arriving with Mrs. Rockefeller and their party aboard the Isle De France, he gave out a statement re- | garding the removal of Col. Robert W. Stewart from the chairmanship of the Standard Ol Company of In- diana. He said: “The action taken requires mno comment. It makes clear, however, that the thoughtful investor esti- mates the permanent and underlying value of an investment not alone in terms of dividends, essential as they are, but quite as much in terms of the unquestioned integrity and singleness of purpose of the man- agement. “The action is significant because it emphasizes the conviction that the highest ethical standards are as vital in business as they are in other re- lations of life."” He maid he had met Sir Henry Deterding, head of the Dutch Shell oil company, socially on the ship but that they had not discussed interna- national conservation of oil or other business matters.” SPANISH EDUGATORS WOULD HOLD PREMIER Professors and Rectors Petition Primo de Rivera to Remain as Ruler “Until Task is Finished" Madrid, March 27 (—A manifes- to signed by several hundred profes- sors and rectors of large Spanish ed- ucational institutions and others secking continued rule of Spain by Premier de Rivera was published to- day. The manifesto said in part: “It is necessary to show the world the gratitude and applause of the Span- ish people for the work done by Premier Primo de Rivera and to prove to the dictate that he is sup- ported by public opinion which wiil |remain with him until he has com- pleted his task.” Another manifesto is being circu- lated among womeg all over Spain which will plead with the premier to continue in power longer and not retire from office as he announced this week in a semi-official note he soon would do.

NEW RRITAIN DALY RALD, TUESRAY, MARCH 2¢, 1929 —————Sl?‘\————————Mfi s 30 GENTS PER DAY FOR POSTMISTRESS g2, Obio, Official Receives Diminative Salary Malaga, O., March 27. (UP)—Thir- ty cents a day is not a princely sum nor will it enable a person to vaca- tion in Florida, but it represents the average daily wage of Miss Ida Keller, for 20 years postmistress of this little Monroe county town of 50 people. Miss Kellar, who lives with her 80-year-old mother, Mrs. Luci da Kellar, can also claim the dis- tinction of being the first woman official to hold office in Monroc county, , Millions of letters, postcards, pa- {pers and packages have passed through the hands of Miss Kellar and her mother, her chief assis- tant, since they took up quarters in the little 10 by 14 foot office, |‘\}nzn President William H.

The salary of the postmaster in this fourth class. department is based on the amount of stamps cancelled at the office, With (he |advent of the rural mail route and the auto the neighbors no longer itrouble to bring their letters to the |little post office to mail. Now they lare left iu the box for the collecto: with the resultant loss of business for the postmistress. Recently, according to Miss Kel- lar, an entire day passed without a single letter being mailed with the result that she worked all day without pay. Another day two let- fers and a postcard were mailed netting six cents. Sometimes a nearby hatchery mails a case of eggs for which she receives 30 or 40 cents—a big day. The incoming mail, however—for which there is no pay—is on the increase.
