CASE AGAIN
City Lost Case otk Slim
Technicality. Insufficient
Notice Held.
Since our last issue the opinion of
the Supreme Court in the Sixth
Street case has arrived and meat of
the decision is hat the city had not
given sufficient notice in the hct
that the specifications of the work
to be done were not sufficient to
determine absolutely the kind of
improvement to be made.' In Fri
day's Recorder we stated that the
notices had not been properly post
ed, but this was erroneous in that
under the old charter it was not
necessaiy to post notices, but the
insufficient notice came from the
facts above stated, and by this the
Supreme Cqurt held that because
of insufficient notice the council had
failed to gain jurisdiction to make
the improvement.
School Party.
The Seventh Grade of the Ban
don school entertained the Eighth
Grade at a party Friday night in
the Auditorium of the High School
building. There were about 40
present and the young folks spent a
very pleasant evening, playing
games and other amusements. ' De
licious refreshments were served
and everybody had a fine time.

ROAD TAX
IS CARRIED
Voters Give Big Majority to
Township Line Road
Proposition.
The road election Saturday after
noon to vote a ten mill tax for the
township line road, south from Ban
don drew out a big vote and the
vote was so decidely in favor of the
tax that there should be no doubt
left In anyone's mind as to the will
of the people on the subject.
There ,were 179 votes cast of
which 139 w,ere for and 40 against.
lacking only one vote of being four
and onc-hall to one. It is said the
township line road will cut off about
two miles of the distance between
Bandon and Langlois, besides being
a much better grade than the, old
road, but be that as it may, we have
use for both roads, and for all the
roads, that we can get.
A good road that could be travel
ed all the year round from Bandon
to the Curry county 'Vie would
mean thousamls of dollars to Ban
don every year, besides being a
great convenience to the tra.veling
public.
