States franchise question to come up, but'there was nothing doing, either on the city’s part nor the power com pany’s. The only lighting question which came up was the petition for street lights, one in front of the Christian church, another at the high school and a third in front of the Masonic Temple. The petitions were referred to the light committee with power to act. When the committee started inves tigations as to the possibility of three more street lights It was learned that the franchise, rejected by the voters at the election this month, also in cluded the contract between the city and the power company for street lighting. Just what action will be taken by the city to protect its onw interest* and to provide street light ing har not been decided. Thoa. Dungey and Andrew Hatcher presented a verbal request to the council for the improvement by grav elling of two blocks on Heath street, north of Seventh. Mayor Berg ad vised them to secure a petition from the property owners affected by an improvement assessment for the work, and assured them the council would act on such a petition. The council approved the applica tion made by Linn Bros, to the state liquor commission for a permit to sell beer at their bowling alley on Front street. A resolution declaring the city offi cials who received majorities at the recent election to have been duly elected was adopted. Something new and different in a councilman’s life, whose actions are usually subject to protests and objec- tiona, was the appearance of John E. Quick who wished to thank the city for the very efficient manner in which the First street sewer was re paired. and the satisfactory way in which it now works. Seal Sale Starts Next Week One of the most interesting results of the fund* received by the Coos County Health Association from its sale of Christmas seals is the project of tuberculin testing. Last year the association sponsored the testing of 1181 persons, both children and adults. Of the above number tested the fol lowing reacted positively to the test: high school students, 48; grade school students, 60; pre-school children, 8; adults, 33. After a positive reaction has been determined the next step is to find out whether or not the person tested is in an active state of tuberculosis Medical and X-ray examinations thus oocur. The number of. above persons fol lowing up the positive result by X-ray examinations are: high school studenta, 19; grade school students, 80; pre-school children, 4; adults, 33. The X-rays paid for by the Health Association numbered 83. This wa* made possible by funds received from the Christmas Seal Sale. Why Not Let Them Do It? Jack Lamb made a suggestion at the County Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday evenning which might well be given serious consid eration. His suggestion had to do with the transient camp which was recently opened st Fairview—the old CCC camp. Mr Firewald, the superin tendent there, say* there will be over 100 transient* in camp there soon who are all anxious to work. He has interviewed the county court, the- city, and other municipal officials, offering the services of the men. Mr. Lamb’s suggestion was that the matter be put up to the state high way commisison and that these men be employed in the work of straight ening and rebuilding the highway be tween Coquille and Marshfield, or however the commission plans on making that link of the Coast High way a safer and better piece of road. Waffle Supper Next Wednesday On Monday evening, November 26, a waffle dinner is to be served in Pi oneer Hall beginning about five- thirty o’dock The price will be 25 He cent* per plate and good waffle* are at promised by the cooks. Plan to be there and enjoy a real waflfe treat. couple of them will be awarded as door prizes. The doors will be open at seven o'clock and play continued as long aa the crowd is promt *
