stork who serves this section

sery. Next in short order ar
rived a son for Mr and Mrs.

Shelfon Takes
Council Oath
Scto At a recent special meeting
of the city council, called by the
mayor for discussion of the pe
destrian walks on the new county
bridge in this city, Roy V. Shelton
filed oath of office and immediately
entered upon his duties as council
man to succeed Frank Barm, re
cently resigned.
E. D. Myers, city treasurer, re
ported $446 in the street fund which
could be applied on foot bridges.
Total cost of such walks is esti
mated at between $000 and $700.
Action was taken to contact the
Linn county court at Albany with
a view of securing financial assist
ance from that source in foot
bridge construction. Accordingly,
Commissioners Renninger and Coo
ley reported promptly and confer
red in this city with members of
the council.
Disappointing to the council was
the Information from court mem
bers that that body had no funds
at this time that could be used
for the purpose desired by the
council. It hod been pointed out
from some source that Brownsville
had been granted financial aid un
der a similar condition.
In addition to concrete in con
struction of the proposed side
bridges, considerable steel Is to be
used. Approaches to the side
bridges from both sides of the
creek are to be constructed at the
cost of the city, it is considered.
