Hammond, a transient farm worker work-er from Tucson, Arizona, suffered three cuts on the back in a scuffle with another transient, on the farm of Mike Varanakis, where they were working. Hammond told the local officers that the two had been drinking drink-ing before retiring for the night. Hammond said he knew his attacker at-tacker only by a nickname. Officers were unsuccessful in their search for him. The wounded man was brought to the hospital at 1 a. m. Saturday, where his wounds, believed superficial, super-ficial, were treateu, and he was released. re-leased. Night Marshal Albert Blrk placed him in the city jail.

Shippers Place Apples, Produce On City Markets Shipping of fruit and produce from the American P'ork and Alpine district was reaching a peak this week, as cars moved daily from sidings sid-ings here bound for various big-city markets over the country. Apples, onions and cabbage make up the bulk of the output of local shippers. A big volume is being handled by Roy Hampshire of H. J. Hines and company, while Sterling Nelson shippers are moving a few cars of produce. Nearly $5,000 has been spent in improvements by Hines and company, com-pany, to handle the bumper crop of the district . A large wash house has been constructed adjoining the warehouse. In this new building has been installed a new apple-washing machine. The new apple washing machine was brought in by truck from the Hood River district of Oregon. It represents the latest equipment for thoroughly washing the fruit prior to packing. Loaded into a hopper at one end of the washer, the apples are taken on a conveyor into the washing compartment, com-partment, where they are mechanically mechani-cally rinsed and rubbed. They then move on the cdnveyor toward the sorting tray, where they are graded. They are then packed in bushel baskets and are ready for shipment The machine works rapidly enough to keep a dozen men and girls loading, load-ing, sorting and pacfing the apples at the same time. The apple crop is exceptionally fine this year, according to Mr. Hampshire. Alpine Jonathan apples, being moved this week, have graded consistently in the fancy and extra fancy classes. As well as being high for grade, quality and color, the apple crop also is believed to be greater than last year. By Tuesday, six cars of apples had been shipped, with shipping nearing full swing. Fifty cars of apples from the orchards of 35 growers in American Fork and Alpine are expected to be placed on markets over the country. Each car having a capacity of 660 bushels, the shipments ship-ments will total 33,000 bushels. Onion shipping is now at a peak, more than 30 cars having rolled out, representing about one-third the total expected shipments. To take care of onion storage prior to shipping, ship-ping, Hines and company has rented rent-ed the Chipman Mercantile company warehouse, and this building now stores several carloads of onions. Beginning the shipping of a large crop, eight carloads of cabbage already al-ready have been moved out by Hines and company. More than 150 cars of this crop are expected to be marketer mar-keter Potatoes, which annually make up about 25 carloads, will start later, with growers waiting for a frost to kill the top vines Before digging. Orchardists and produce growers are receiving a good price for their crops, according to Mr. Hampshire. An average of 25 people will be employed during the shipping season, sea-son, in sorting, packing and loading operations at Hines and company. LOCAL GROCER TALKS ON KSL AT CONCLAVE John H.

By a mapority of more than 1000 ballots the citizens -turned thumbs down on a bond Issue of $1,650,000, to match a requested PWA grant of $150,000 for construction of a $3,-000,000 $3,-000,000 power plant.

Meredith has completed his examination of the financial records of Alpine 8chool district for the period from July 1, 1936, to June 30. 1938. The audit goes Into considerable detail ln the examination of the var ious financial functions of the school district. It is contained In a bound report, with 23 schedules and exhibits ex-hibits making up 35 pages of Informative In-formative analysis. Exhibits Include the balance sheet, as of June 30, with 18 schedules showing detail of various items; budget and expenditure for 1936-1937, 1936-1937, and for 1937-1938; record of assessed as-sessed valuation of the district for the past 17 years, and comparative per-capita cost of the various schools of the district. Interesting detail pointed out by Mr. Meredith Is the new basis for valuation of the capital assets, Including In-cluding buildings, sites and furniture furni-ture and fixtures. The value of the capital assets was determined by an appraisal made by the board of education edu-cation this year. The former practice prac-tice of writing off depreciation has been discontinued. The present practice will establish at each appraisal ap-praisal date a value of marked ac-curancy, ac-curancy, more so than the depreciation deprecia-tion practice," the report states. During the period of the audit, it Is pointed out, insurance has been changed from specific building and equipment arrangement to a blanket form. Should there be a fire loss, such a loss would be appraised and the claim paid accordingly, and regardless re-gardless of when or where the fire occurred. A schedule shows In detail the bond Issues of the district, with offsetting off-setting retirement and refunding operations. Total bonded indebtedness indebted-ness is shown to be $323,000, and according ac-cording to the plan of repaymenW these issues will be paid off between now and 1951. The highest payment planned ln any one year is shown as $37,000, with the highest for any two year period, $74,000. Declared to be one of the most commendable things the school board has accomplished is the payment pay-ment of $119,000 In bonds during the two year period. This is brought out in the report. The report states that "all disbursements dis-bursements have been carefully checked in detail, each voucher audited au-dited and verified with the minutes of the Clerk." The payroll record has been completely checked to find all checks Issued In order and the totals correct as carried forward in the warrant register. All payments appear ap-pear to be entirely in order, being prepared on the regular claim form furnished by the district and appearing ap-pearing in the minutes to properly authorize the Clerk to make various payments." Records and accounts of the district dis-trict have been handled in a most careful manner, the report states. "The minutes of all meetings of the Board were up-to-date and in every detail complete. The contacts made during the course of this audit indicate indi-cate competent and efficient handling hand-ling of the monies and affairs of the district. Economy and accuracy is evident throughout the office." Recommendations made by Mr. Meredith include: To follow the regulations of the State and Federal government requiring re-quiring all claims, regardless of size or origin to be completely notarized. The district could maintain a notary at the office for this purpose. Adoption of a pcrtual inventory method for supplies, and strict accounting ac-counting for distribution of materials mater-ials from the warehouse. Formation of a purchasing board or committee for the district, includ ing the clerk, two members of the board, and either the superintendent or one supervisor. Purchases once passed on by such a committee could definitely be in order for payment when presented before payment before be-fore the entire board. At present, "the method of supplying needs seems to be taken care of by various members of the board, superintendent superinten-dent and supervisors, and later approved ap-proved by the board." M. Men and their partners- of the Third ward will get together Saturday. Sat-urday. October 8, at 8 p. m. at Dry creek, for a "weenie" roost and outdoor out-door party Earl Brown, M.
