A rancher who lives between Myrtle Point and Arago was in Portland re cently and a lot of houaehold equip ment in a second hand store caught his eye. Inquiry of the proprietor finally resulted in an offer of sale for $10. “Load ’er up,’* said the Coos man. "I did not offer to load it," was the response. “No toad, no sale.” The Portland dealer thereupon loaded it on to the truck, making a good stand load, and Mr. Rancher He arrived in Albany while the weekly auction was going on and de cided to see what he could get for his bargain. When the smoke of bidding had cleared away the Coquille valley man received $186 for his truck load of furniture and equipment, less the percentage deducted for entering it in the sale! H. S.

The League’s efforts would compel transfer of a portion of the tax money to cities instead of allow ing the highway commisison to spend it all on highways. The request was for blinker lights at the Second street intersection with the highway, at the junction of the two highways on Front street and where the highway from Myrtle Point turns west at the Fitzgerald Serviçe Station corner. The request of the delegation for an audience forbidding bill board adver tising of liquor in town was granted by the adoption of such an ordinance, but Attorney Tallant Qraenough stated he did not know whether it could be successfully upheld in a court action to compel removal of such signs. J. W. Bryan, skating rink operator in the Community Building, said hé was losing his customers due to the poor floor and submitted figures of what the material would cost of a new one—for both Masonite and maple. For the main floor $306 for Masonite and $661.50 for maple. If the south side was also floored, the additional cost, for material only in both cases, would be $123.40 or $271.60, depending on which was used. The Masonite could only be used if the underpinning was reinforced to make the present floor rigid which would cast a great deal in addition to the above figures. Inspector Dungey was asked to submit a report on the building’s condition at the next meeting. A street light on Coulter, just ot the ball park, was «—A rM The bid of Fred Bull for public liability for the city employees and for property damage was Ute only one submitted, the figure being $456.15. The council voted to accept it, if the bid is in accordance with the specifi cations advertised. D. E. Cruikshank and Mike Braod, who have been employed by the city for years at day labor pay of $4 a day, will henceforth be on the city’s payroll at $120 per month. The application for street vacation, of Geo. A. Ulett on Maple street and Bonnie Walker on Myrtle, where those two streets are on a hillside be tween Second and Third, came up for hearing, but the council decided to have the city engineer submit a written report on the proposals at the next meeting before taking any action. Another request for a no-parking spot on Hall street was tabled. The applications ot the Quelle Cafe and the White Spot for restaurant li censes were granted and their bonds approved. The city engineer reported that only about 50 per cent of the proper ty which would have to pay for the gravel improvement of portions of Fifth and Division streets, were represented on the petition presented, but stated that the improvement was desired. The council instructed him to prepare plans and specifications tor the improvement. The bids for pipe for the 10 inch water main which It is intended to lay from near Cooper’s greenhouse to Front street and down that street were opened, but pending a report by the engineer as to which was the better bid no contract was let. Harold Kolkhorst, chairman of the public safety committee appointed by the mayor, had submitted a report on the bad condition of the sidewalk at the Fuhrman’s Pharmacy corner, and in front of the Ideal Bakery and Thrift Grocery. The recorder was instructed to notify the owners ot the properties. A rooming house license was grant ed the Star rooms on Front street. **<*’•■» . ?
