The permit was - accompanied - with drastic regulations. .With the opening of the Pacifle highway July 8, - the business street of Aurora underwent a com plete change. Old business hous- hes were dismantled only to rise again on line with" the highway. Homes became service stations or were shifted to less valuable loca tions. An improvement is noted in the erection of a tile building by the Will Snyder company which will be operated as a meat mar ket in connection with ' the mer- centile store. Tennis Court Built Thinking ot the younger gener ation, a municipal tennis court 40 by SO feet with a concrete base has been built and is being fin anced by a committee from five organizations, by giving dances, card parties and donations. 7 This fall the Rod and Gun club released 423, china' pheasants and the Fish and Game commission nlanted from 30.000 to 40,0( brook trout and other fish in the Pudding river; '81 hunting and anglers licenses amounting to 240 Were sold this season. After an examination of city artesian water by state board of health the water was pronounced as pure as water could be, having a bac teria count of only four per cubic centimeter. An advance in the price of hops has given the indus try new Impetus and brought an increase in acreage in old yards and the planting of new one. More bop and store houses have risen and the effect has stimu lated a movement of real estate as six yards have changed hands locally. Hop Theft Unsolved Saturday night, ' May 27, 16 bales of hopes were stolen from the warehouse of Henry Ziegler and moved by truck. A $500 re ward posted by Ziegler has brought no results. Crops were unusually fine this spring. The grain yield was the best farmers have experienced In 10 to 15 years. Many fields produced 70 to 100 bushels ot grain to the acre. The Fry Brothers raised a tomato measuring 15 inches in cir cumference and Mrs. Henrietta Will planted a new variety of onions which produced onions five Inches In diameter. In retrospection we feel Aurora has made progress and we go into 1934 with confidence. Best wish es for a Happy New Year to all. Yhat 'New DeaF : ' Initials Mean T A S HINOTO N.
