The council ordered that the re pair and painting of fire hydrants, as recommended by the fire depart ment in a special report, be done at once. To succeed L. W. Claver and L. L. Bonney, who refused to accept ap- | pointment on the city’s park commis- i^ion, Mayor Milne named Stanton ' Stevens and O. C. Sanford. The ap- ' pointments were confirmed by the council. The matter of vacating a block of Sumner avenue in the Knowlton Heights section, at the southwest edge of the city, was dropped from con sideration by the council. One rea son for this action is that the hear ing was not held as advertised and the legality of a vacation Could be attacked by those who may be op posed. If it is to come up again there must be a new petition presented and notice of a hearing again advertised. In connection with this matter, En- ginner Gearhart stated that the line of the city limits there is very indef inite, the dedication to the city not* being clearly worded. He and the city attorney were authorized to ex amine the records and if necessary submit an ordinance which will def initely locate the southeast boundary line of Coquille. Councilman Pettit was appointed a committee to make such arrange ments as may be necessary to insure that the fire hall is not again left in such a mess as it has been every time ' a load of wood is delivered to the city hall. The stove and pipe were knocked over the last time wood was 1 delivered there. Now that the Community Building is being used so infrequently for dances, Recorder Leslie, with an eye toward increasing revenues to at least enough to pay the janitor’s wages, told of a proposal made by Art Gra ham that he (Graham) furnish the skates, the city the building, and that roller skating be permitted there three nights a week, Mr. Graham and the city to split 50-40. The council did not approveof the city’s entering the roller skating business, as it would do if the pro ceeds were split, and requested Frank Dungey to make an examination of the floor and underpinning before skating was permitted if Mr. Graham cared to lease the building for the purpose. The summer playground program of the National Youth Obuncil in Coquille jgot under way last Satur- day with ball games, sidewalk tennis and other games on the Washington school grounds. The tumbling pads were also in much use. The smaller children enjoyed the story hour, the paddle ball and other simple games. Other features soon to be ready for them are a sand box and croquet. This is collection week and merits are to be awarded for collections of beetles, leaves, flowers, rocks, bottles and stamps. Tournament winners will also receive merit awards on Friday. When the summer schedule of the playground is ended a medal is to be awarded both to a boy and to a girl for the most points scored in the tournaments. Blue ribbons will count for five points, red for three, and white for one. Next week’s tournament on Friday will be marbles for boys of 11 or younger, and girls will have a skating race the same day. The daily average in attendance has been 25 and as the pleasure those young folks have gotten out of the playground becomes better known there will be more and more. There is nothing compulsory about playground attendance and children are allowed to come and go at will. *Niven Is Cast As Suave Hero Of ' "Raffles" At Roxy Our Expense and Drive back a NEW DODG Besides this Free transportation and meals you also save $155 Freight by driving your new Dodge back NO STRINGS TO THIS OFFER YOU WIN BOTH WAYS Consult Us Today For Full Particulars The car you are now driving is worth more today on a new car purchase than later in the season.
