I An addition of fourteen in the Co-
!!? quille schools is reported by Supt.
JO Parr this week. With the congested

District Attorney Fisher has given
as his opinion to the Tax Conserva­
tion Commission that that body has
no authority to insert an item of
$3,000 in the Coos county budget for
the maintenance of cpunty agent
work. This project will therefore be
dropped for another year.

Occasionally we have to smile at
some of the quirks of the Roosevelt
