Contract Let For
Heating Building
Mayor O. L. Wood called a special
meeting of the city council at five
o’clock Tuesday evening at which
time a contract for the heating plant
in the Community Building was au
thorised by the council. The con

It to to be a steam-heating system
with cast iron boiler in the basement,
two large heating units in the large
auditorium, two smaller unite in the
Junior auditorium, one large unit
in the foyer, and radiators in the
caretaker's quarters, in the rest room*
and in the dressing rooms. The li
brary will continue to be heated with
gas as there will probably be a great
of time when heat will not be needed
in the rest of the building while it
will be in the library.
Installation will start within the
next week or two of the plumbing
and connections and the main units
as soon as they arrive.
Mayor Wood states that there
should be no trouble about securing

to put the final surfacing coat of oil
and fine rock on Willard street, be

The pavement there stretches from
curb to curb and parking along that
block will hereafter be along the
sidewalk edge.
The city did not have enough of a
credit with the highway department
to pay for .the surfacing of the next
block north and that improvement
will have to wait until next year
when the city’s allocation of gaa tax
will permit further expenditure by
the highway department.
The crew is also surfacing a con
siderable portion of the Front street
state highway section between Tay

A broken sewer below the pave
ment near the hotel building has de

Jamas Leonard, county probation
officer, wap a guest of the Rotary
Club at their noon luncheon on Wed
nesday and gave a short talk on the
problems of child delinquency.
For one thing, he said, that the
term, “child delinquency,” was in
very many of their cases a misnomer.
That a true statement of the case
would be "parental delinquency,” as
the true cause of the child’s trouble
was neglect or indifference on the
part of the parent or parents.
Quoting from the current report of
the state juvenile department he read
startling figures of the sharp increase
in delinquency. Mr. Leonard also
showed * chart or graph indicating
the increase.
A letter was read by J. S. Barton
from the county head of the current
bond drive and members were asked
to report their bond purchases to
Chairman Barton.
Clarence Osika had the cigars
passed in honor of the recent addition
to hto family and he also presented
a special gift to Charley Briggs.

Capl. Hale Eubanks
Is Enjoying Life
On Troop Transport
Capt. Hale B. Eubanks, Army chap
lain, who arrived home last Thursday
evening on a 15-day furlough, says
that the life on an army transport
vessel to moot interesting and, while
it has some unpleasant features, he
enjoys the work.
Asked if he had been seasick, hto
reply was “No,” but he added he
was close to it once. There was a ne
gro contingent on the vessel and
many of them were seasick.. One
morning the chaplain went below
decks to address this unit and the
odor was almost unbearable.
He has been in Australia and tells
of the conditions in a seaport of 300,-
000 population where a million men
are assembled for training and ser
vice.
The street cars there are all of
the open variety, such as formerly
operated on Market street in San
Francisco.
Northern Australia to
ibout as far south of the equator as
San Francisco is north of it, and the
climate to much the same in winter,
but the open cars are used the year
round. The conductor walks through
the car to collect the fares, rings up
nothing but* carries his change and
fares loose in a pouch and, apparent
ly, there to no check as to his honesty.
It to difficult to get United States
currency or money, of smaller de
nominations, in exchange for larger
U. 8. bills, and Capt. Eubanks says he
was sent from one clerk to another,
in the bank, far some time before he
could get what he wanted. The ex
change rate between Australian and
U. S. moneys is so greatly in the
United States’ favor that the Aus
tralians do not like to lot go of our
money. The pound there ia worth
only about 83.20 of U. S. money, much
lees than the English pound.

nature produces a grass on which

but in the interior the land is all

Capt. and Mrs. Eubanks went up
to Toledo, where he was stationed as
vicar for the parish a few years
ago, on Tuesday, and they were also
stopping at his cranberry bog nearr
Florence before returning to Coquille.
He will leave next week for San
Francisco to rejoin hto vessel which
has been undergoing repairs. Thia
transport boat was formerly a luxury
line on which the movie colony of
Hollywood would make Pacific tours.
Investigating Operation of New
Tnx Record System In Lane Co.
A. O. Walker, chief in the tax de
partment at the court house, went out
to Eugene Sunday on county business
and returned Tuesday. He went to
investigate operation of the new sys
tem Coos county is installing for han
dling tax business and which Asses
sor Chas. W. Forrest inaugurated last
year. Several counties in the state
have already installed the system,
which was devised by Arthur Salan
der, formerly in the assessor’s office
here but now with the State Tax
Commission at Salem, and Mr. Walk
er says the system is fool-proof, al
though it is still possible for human
errors to creep in.
Went To Son Francisco To
Meet Their Husbands
Mrs. May Barton and Mrs. Jean
Bryant left last Thursday for San
Francisco on a combined business
and pleasure trip. They will visit
the markets there to buy new stocks
for Miss May’s Shop end both expect
to see their husbands there. Clarence
Barton was recently transferred to
the Presidio and Bob Bryant, who has
been st a camp in Missouri, was ex
pected to be in San Francisco prior
to embarkation for duty somewhere
