At the next meeting on May 4, the council will hear a report from the street committee and the engineer, after they have inspected the project, and would like also to hear from the property owners who would benefit by the improvement. Other Actions by Council DRIVE IT I and drive home to yourself this truth It’s FIRST in its field because it’s Scores of thousands of people in all parts of the country have found that seeing is believing and driving is knowing that the new 1936 Chevrolet is the only complete low-priced cart To take the wheel of this beautiful car—to test its many exclusive quality features—is to obtain conclusive proof of the following facts: Its New Perfected Hydraulic Brakes and Solid Steel Turret Top Body make it the safest car in its price range, and, in fact, the safest car that money can buy. Its Improved Gliding Knee-Action Ride*, Genu ine Fisher No Draft ’ Ventilation and Shockproof Steering* give unmatched comfort. Ana its High-Com pression Vslve-in-Head „nd High-Compression Valve-in-Head Engine—the same type of engine that is employed in world-champion power boats, airplanes and racing can—provides combined power and economy without equal. Drive the new Chevrolet for 1936 and drive home to yourself these truths. We’ll be glad to have you do this, without the slightest obligation, any time you wish. Afake it today! HYDRAULIC A building permit was granted by the city council Monday evening to A. L. Simpson to construct a frame otiice building, 14x18 feet, facing on Front street, at the northwest comer of the Coquille laundry. Mr. Simp son says he will make it conform as nearly as possible to the laundry building, with large plate glass win dow and with plywood for walls and ceiling. Engineer Stacer reported that two catch basins between the old Farr & Elwood corner and the laundry would cost about $120. It was a poor piece of engineering there when the street was improved for the east end of that 100 feet is lower than the west end and the water stands all along the curb there in rainy weather. D. V. Yeoman, sanitary inspector, and Dr. M. Earl Wilson, spoke to the council on the question of permitting property in Coquille which has no sewer outlet to be supplied with san itary toilets which are coming into so frequent use on farms and at rural school houses The council voted to amend the city’s ordinance to permit the use of such toilets where sewer connection would be excessive in cost, and to ►permit property to be bonded for in stallation of such toilets. The councilmen decided to refer the matter of installing such toilets at the ball park to the park commission. It was ordered that a 4-foot un loading platform be permitted on the west side of the Skeels building for the Danish Creamery, but also ttiat the inclined driveway there must come out. After some conference with Allen 8c Linn, of the Rex Tavern, who de clared the proposed card room would be at the rear of the tavern and not in the beer parlor itself, the council by a vote of four, with one member not voting, granted them a card room license. The sixth member of the council, Ray Jeub, was acting as pre siding officer in Mayor Berg's ab- sence. A class B package license was rec- ommended for E. L. Linn at the bowling alley, but after it was ex- plained to him that minors would no', be permitted in the bowling alley i( the pool table license requested was granted him, he withdrew that appli cation. The council ordered that the city recorder pay the $138 delinquent taxes on the two and one-half lots east of the Geo. H. Chaney home, The city has improvement liens against the property. Levelle Walstrom Also Receives Scholarship The Sentinel- was not given all the news about scholarship awards mad? to seniors in this year’s high school class, last Friday morning. Besides Dorris Compton, who received a scholarship at O. S. C., Levelle Wal- strom was awarded one from the University of Oregon, and Howard- Hickam received an alternate ap pointment which he will be able to use should any of the 104 named in the state fail to avail him or herself of the opportunity. The 104 scholarship awards are made by the five state institutions of higher learning—the university, the college and the three normal schools. There are approximately 275 high schools in the state and the fact that two appointments and one alternate were selected from Coquille Hiigh speaks well for the work being done in the local high school.
