CLAIM VOTES ENOUGH FOR BONUS BILL By KENNETH W. CLARK I. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Battle lines were being drawn in congress today for what promises to be the most spectacular legislative clash of the season—the fight to enact a soldiers' bonus bill over the veto of President Coolidge. The president's unsquivocal opposition to the bonus has thrown capital bill into a terrible turmoil. Everywhere the bonus question has eclipsed all other topics. Mr. Coolidge's stand did not come wholly as a surprise but the bluntness of the president's dismissal of the bonus has left administration leaders in a quandary. That congress will pass a bonus, patterned substantially after the measure vetoed by the late president Harding, is conceded even by the bitterest opponents of the bill. The house is expected to send it over to the senate with a substantial majority soon. Sufficient votes have been pledged in the senate to pass the bonus. When it goes to the White House, President Coolidge will send it back to the congress, marked "rejected." Unless all present lineups are knocked galley-west, the house will override the veto. This series of events places squarely up to the Senate the question of repudiating or approving one of Assets of U. S. Corp. Wiped Out Foreign Loans By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON J. N. S.

Placentia, La Habra, Garden Grove and Brea, because they are fairly compact communities, have been mentioned as in a position to hatch onto the sewer. As a matter of fact, however, a sanitary district if organized anywhere between here and Garden Grove along the Garden Grove road (Eucled-ave) can join the sewer, and the advantages of so doing are obvious. Arage which doesn't require cesspools evidently is more desirable than that which does. To be able to join directly onto the outfall sewer, or for that matter with the connecting sewer of any one of the three and possibly six communities uniting in the project, is an untold advantage. A sanitary district along any of the routes followed and pro-rata payment will enable scores or hundreds of ranchers to enjoy the benefits of the sewer the same as the communities themselves. At the same time attention was called to the fact that the limit to which this can be done naturally will be nearer and neuer as population grows and the present power reaches its capacity.
