"The original cost estimate advertised ad-vertised was 44c per lineal foot of pavement, not 40c as stated. This was increased to 67 cents per lineal foot of frontage for the following reasons: Reduction of 50 feet frontage for each corner lot will be made. This reduction of assessable frontage front-age will increase the estimated cost from 44 cents per lineal foot to 52 cents per lineal foot of abutting abut-ting property. The original estimate esti-mate of 44 cents did not provide for sufficient funds to do adequate ade-quate grading as required by the State Road Commission and the Federal Bureau of Roads, and it was found necessary to increase the estimate to allow for this item. "Also a modification in the original or-iginal plan provides an increase of $4,440 to cover the cost of an oil priming coat which will be used in connection with the rock asphalt pavement. This item for oil increases in-creases the cost to 61 cents per lineal foot of property. The estimate esti-mate was increased from 61 cents to 67 cents to cover extra cost of grading and miscellaneous items. "These are the reasons for the (Continued on Page Eight) Croup Seeks City Hall Job beyond the constitutional limit of the city. Citizens bringing the complaint are Frank Healy, Alvin Whitby, John F. Moyle, S. O. Strong, Rodney Rod-ney Moyle, Rex Moyle, Lyman Moyle, F. D. Strong and Isaac A. Healy. In addition to the mayor, the councilmen named as defendants are Orion Burgess, Ernest Clark, Willard McDaniels, Joseph F. Marsh ane- ueiand Beck. Although a bond election was held and the qualified voters rejected re-jected the plan, the plaintiffs set forth, the money was pledged, anyway. "The new city hall is not necessary nec-essary for the meagre business conducted in the city and the present pres-ent hall is satisfactory," they state. "It would add an unreasonable unreas-onable tax burden." MAHAN DRAWS 60 YR.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 9 r.i; Two men ana a woman were held here today while U. S. department of justice agents who arrested them aboard the crack Overland Limited at Ogden last night, confiscating a virtual arsenal ar-senal of firearms and explosives, deliberated charges to be lodged against them. It appeared likely that one of the trio, Bryan Schwab, 32, said by agents to be a big-time robber, safecracker and fugitive from a Georgia chain gang, may be charged ultimately with seven criminal counts. The woman, identified only as "Sugar" and purportedly from Tennessee, may be charged with Mann act violation and conspiracy conspir-acy to transport explosives, officials offic-ials indicated. The second man, nabbed as he attempted to leave the train, was Bjorkman Parker, 32. Government operatives headed by W. A. Rorer, head of the Salt Lake office of the federal bureau of investigation, department of justice, arrested Schwab and the woman in an unlocked stateroom aboard the railway flier. They seized 10 pieces of luggage lug-gage belonging to the trio, they said. Inside the bags, they found 24 sticks of dynamite, a quarter-pint quarter-pint of nitro glycerine, dynamite caps and fuses, a sa wed-off shotgun shot-gun and a .45-caliber automatic pistol. One bag also contained a full kit of safe cracKers, tools Plan Celebration PA YSON Sponsored by American Amer-ican Legion and backed by the city officials, Lions club and other civic organizations, plans are being be-ing made for a big Fourth of July celebration in Payson.

Among other recommendations, the commission urged that the liquor control enforcement staff be "concentrated in one department depart-ment under one head.'' The investigators reminded the commission that it must comply with statutes requiring employes to be hired under civil service regulation. Rumors that beer parlor operators oper-ators had been forced to make "pay-offs" to officials to obtain licenses, were dismissed as without with-out foundation. Revealing that one marble game operator insinuated he paid 20 per cent of his income from operation of the machines to someone connected with the commission, com-mission, the inquirers urged thata recent commission ruling barring such devices from draft beer parlors par-lors be enforced rigidly. The board struck most heavily at employment of girls in beer parlors and at "good will" sales promotion by liquor distillers. The board recommended that such offenders of-fenders be cited to show cause why their license to operate in the state should not be revoked.

The passengers numbered 50. The starting point of the flight was in mid-Europe, 4381 miles from Lakehurst by the route we took. In the past 16 years I have flown about 150,000 miles in airplanes air-planes in America, Europe, Africa and Asia but have never before encountered such satisfactory air transportation, comparative comfort, com-fort, freedom from noise and vibrations vi-brations afforded by the Hindenburg.

At 4:35 a. m. we came over Long Island and cruised along slowly while the passengers gathered in the dining salon for a light breakfast of sliced sausages, tea and coffee.
