Heeding the protests of resi

their shade trees, the City Council
at Its meeting last night voted
down the plan to widen the street
between South Main and South
Stephens to 40 feet at least lor
the present.
I'pon a "roll call, six of the
councilmen. Bill Adair, Frank
Ashley, John A. Hart, Henry
Carstens, George West and Harri
son Winston, voted against the
ordinance calling for the street
widening at its third and final
reading, and Councilmen Hal
Ayotte and Percy Croft voted In
favor of It.
The action was taken after
considerable discussion by the
council and residents along the
street. Following defeat of the
measure, a motion was approved
calling for parking along one side
of this street only. The city
manager was given authority to
determine which side would be
closed to parking.
Since the ordinance embodied
also the proposed widening of
Military Street, from the west
end of the Onk Street Bridge to
Corey Avenue, a separate ordi
nance, drafted at the meeting,
had to be passed so that work
could proceed on this strip of

and the measure was passed with
an emergency clause so that the
work would not longer be delay

plans for an open air meeting In

Republican nominee called in his
first formal speech of the cam

But a howling, whistling crowd

Douglas County Timber Offers Last Chance

Between five and 10 percent of
the timber In this county is com-

said. From 30 to 35 million
feet of these species are cut In
Douglas County each year and
are available for production.
In "normal times," Ellsworth
said, sawmills do not find a satis
factory market for white fir and
hemlock. The averare mill, large
or small, would "rather sell their
white logs at a fair profit" than
cut them Into lumber.
He said the presence of the

"We are somewhere near the
