Street Improvement Asked—
City Hu No Contract for
Street Lighting
There was a good sized delegation
at the council session Monday eve
ning of those who expected the Mt.
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.
