It has come to the notice of the contest manager that some of the merchants issuing coupons have felt that it was entirely proper, when a customer purchased a bill of goods and failed to call for coupons, to turn the number the person would have been entitled to over to a contestant. This is not fair dealing, and it would be unwise to permit it. In the future, all contestants must secure their cou pons from those who secure them from the merchant or outside of the store in which they are issued. This rule Is inflexible and the Herald will not accept coupons that do not at some time pass through th* hands of the person who purchases goods. For this week’s contest, the Herald has chosen the name of the Archer Garage. This firm is located at 5510 Foster Road and is well known among automobilist* as a reliable place at which to secure the usual garage ser vice and supplies. Find the twelve mir.sing letters, comply with the oth er conditions as explained on the ,rsde-at-home page and send your an- :-»er. with coupons, to the Herald cc"test manager. Incidentally, in those cases where a large number of votes are 'ent in. it is only necessary to write the name and address of the contestant on the top coupon and tie all firmly together. WOODMERE NOTES Commis»ioner Pier Âdvo cate» Highway System to Touch Lent» An extensive system of municipal boulevard*, which eventually will rep resent an expenditure of more than $20,000,000, i* visualized by 8. C. Pier commissioner of finance, who laid his plan before a joint meeting of city council and representative citizens on Thursday morning. The boulevard plan, as expounded by Pier, would make Portland on* of the wonder cities of the world. He hopes to finance hi* project largely through gifts from public-spirited cit izen*, who he believes will pour mil lion* into boulevard* to develop the city properly. Commissioner Pier hopes to have a large portion of the system completed by 1925 for the Atlantic-Pacific High way* and Electrical exposition to be held here then. An inner system along the Willam ette river and an outer system skirt ing the city limit* are provided for in the project. He plan* to have the elaborate improvement accomplished with no increase in th* tax levy. The first work, a* planned by Pier and other preponente of the plan, would be on the we*t side of the Wil lamette river. A scenic roadway along the west shore of the river from Oswego to Portland, winding among the hills to tne Skyline boulevard. ia one of the first development* pit""”«* One of th* main boulevard! on the east side would follow the banks of Johnson Creek from the Willamette river to Lent*. Others planned would encircle and bisect the eaat and west sides of the river in much the same way as outlined by Cheney for the city planning commission. Development of land now inaccess ible, ia also counted on to finance as much of the work as citizens attuned to the project will fail to do. Mr. D. W.
