Many Pretty
Windows Shown
There were a number of very at-
tractive windows shown at the
Christmas .Opening last Friday eve­
ning. but the street decorutions were
not yet in place, and the general
appearance of the city, for the holi­
day showing, was not what it will be
in a few days.
This was not the fault of the Jun­
ior Chamber of Commerce which is
in charge of thia feature, ¿or the re­
quest that the chamber take charge;
of the street decorating was not made
in time for the younger organization
to complete their plans and have the
work done.

years ago foe rebuilding the highway

Anoher point touched, tn the dis­
cussion was that of insurance rates. It
was mentioned that rating bureaus
have frequenly advised a city or
town that if this or that was done
for more adequate fire protection that
the rates could be reduced.
But
some excuse is always found for not
carrying out the promise for reduc­
tion. •
The better co-operation of the state
in the development of southwestern
Oregon’s mineral resources was
brought up by Mayor Gable of Port
Orford.
Of course, in a meeting of this kind,
no positive action of any kind could
be taken, but the discussion of mu­
nicipal affairs with the League offi­
cials will give them an idea of what
the various cities' needs are and .there
will, undoubtedly^ be bills introijuced.

During the progress of last- Tues-,

eoast road was such that motorists
in the Langlois district had trouble in
holding their cars on the road and a
report came to Coquille of one mo­

ditch beside the road, though he
brought his car safely out and back
again without, stopping.
