The City Council of Band >11 held
its regular session in the city hall
Tuesday evening at which time
many matters of importance were
taken up.
The first item of business was the
project of opening and building a

for the Perry Veneer plant. Alt r
considerable discussion a committee
was appointed to investigate the
situation and report at a called
meeting in the near future.
Ordinance to limit the number of
saloons in Bandon was read and
passed to the second reading after
much discussion.
An ordinance governing dog tax
was passed. One or two other
ordinances were also passed and a
number of bills were allowed
The Bandon Light and Water Co.
also made the city a proposition for
renewing the water contract. This
was laid on the table to be taken up
at the next meeting.

thus greatly aiding in building up a
herd of good producers
It is also the aim of the associa
tion to work toward getting the
daily products shipped under one
brand having a standard quality and
to raise the present standard of
quality, thus getting better prices;
first by a better quality; second, by
having enough ot a certain quality,
and a large quantity to create a de
mand for it on the market; third,
by operating only the creameries
that are found necessary to handle
the milk produced, thereby cutting
down expenses of operating so many
unnecessary creameries and hiring
more than < ne manager.
The success of the association
depends on the efforts of the dairy
men and a large memliership will
greatly help. However, the mem
bership ot the association is quite
large at present.
It is hoped all interested in dairy
ing will attend the next meeting and
