KREECK'S STATEMENT GIVES ACHIEVEMENTS
Lawrence Mayor Characterizes Term as "Three Years' Stewardship"
In what Mayor George L. Kreck
described as an "Accounting of Three
Years" Stewardship," published in
Lawrence papers last night, the
following achievements of Mr. Kreck's
administration are mentioned:
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The establishment of a complete health department with complete sanitary and health divisions, department of Bacteriology and Inspection; Memorial Hospital; permanent beauty-fitting of the parks; more policemen; additional life-saving equipment; police; making City Hall accessible and community place to public meetings; clear streets; elimination of fifty downtown alleys, which service is to be extended throughout the city; actively watching and fighting for the protection of the citizens' rights in all telephone, gas, street railway and water contraversies; unity and harmony resulting in the highest efficiency; all this accomplished with an increase in tax rate much lower than the average for Kansas cities of the second class.
A University official after reading Mayor Kreeck's statement remarked that several items might be added to the trip, including a donation from a University point of view, such as Mayor Kreeck's efforts, involving a special trip to Washington, in connection with the S. A. T. C. and negotiation to the Sadiam Union project.
Mayor Kreeck's announcement for re-election was made according to Mayor Kreeck's statement "upon the request of more than two hundred petitioners, numbering among them practically every successful business man of the street," who believe that the mayor should be given a chance to complete the plans he has inaugurated for a better Lawrence.
Rotary Clubs to Get Facts About the Legion
Indianaapolis, Ind., March 30.—(United Press.) The Board of Directors of the International Association of Rotary Club has ordered a nation wide survey of conditions surrounding the care of disabled veterans, "to prove whether American Llegion reports are based upon hysteria or factual facts." The letter to Llegion Headquarters today from Chesley H. Perry, Chicago, secretary-general of the Rotary organization.
hour.
The Rotary Board had endorsed the Legion's consolidation program for relief to the disabled and would support the Legion's efforts to obtain its enactment into law. His letter said in part:
The 50,000 American business and professional men who form the 800
Rotary Club of the United States, have started out to gather the actual facts in their respective communities with regard to the manner in which the U. S. Government is handling the cases of disabled ex-soldiers. The rotarians have been shocked by the disclosure made by the American Legion regarding the circumstances surrounding the rehabilitation of these men. Each Rotary Club is appointing a special committee to investigate conditions in its community and report to the club. Every club will then report to the Headquarters of Rotary in Chicago. The result will be that from 800 communities in every part of the United States will come evidence to business and management about American people whether or not the American Legion reports are based on hysteria or upon actual facts."
Central Kansas Has A Buried Mountain
A buried mountain, in the form of a granite ridge, underlies Kansas, Kansas, and bears a definite geologic history. According to Dr. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist and head of the geology department of the University of Kansas, further evidence of this formation is directly above on the flanks of the granite ridge.
Although your home is built upon the Kansas prairie, yet you may be living on a mountain peak. Sounds like 145. Ivll, blame it on the geologists.
"Much speculation is current in attempting to discover the sections of the state which contain oil deposits," Professor Moore says, "but the definite location of the granite ridge enables the determination of such deposits more accurately. The ridge tends to the northeast being in Kay County, north of Nebraska, north of Nemaha County. The ridge is of varying depths, and at some points is less than five hundred feet below the surface."
The oil fields of El Dorado and Augusta districts, Doctor Moore points out, overtle the summit of the depressed granite ridge in Hutter County. The oil fields lie on the flank of the granite on the west side of the ridge. Concerning the possibility of new fields in Kanaas, Professor Moore says that such new fields will no doubt be found in areas where the structural relations with the granite ridge are other similar to those of the El Dorado-Augusta fields, or to those of the Peabody-Eling and Florence fields.
"There are undoubtedly undiscovered oil deposits in Kansas at the present time," says Doctor Moore. "It is impossible to tell how far out from the surface we can be found, yet deposits are oil will be found, yet deposits are twenty miles away from the granite deposits."
