CO-OPS MAKE PLANS FUR 1931 WHEAT Lucas and Maurer Will Supervise * Warahousing in North End Your water meter and mine are very likely to be forced to stand at attention and be inspected by the city if a discussion held by the city coun cil b put into action. It was the be lief of some of the councilmen that there was too great a divergence» in the water bills when the water „used was taken into consideration and it is thought that the meters will be over hauled to see if they are doing their work properly or not. The Conlee well has been pumping since last Friday when a cylinder from one of the lower wells was put in it in place of the one originally bought for that well. Whereas the new cylinder was supposed to throw fifty gallons of water per minute it was only able to lift a little over half of that and will be returned. At present the well is being relieved of about twenty five gallons per minute. The council has been dividing their money among the various funds that are required by the city charter and have that division about made at the present. There will be eight or nine different funds to be kept straight Which will make for easier reference to city activities by the council.’ New shades were ordered for the front rooms of the hotel to replace some that have outworn their useful ness. A report was made by the commit- , te who have been investigating the requirements for a bond refunding election. 7 They are not as yet satis fied about the amount of bonds that , will have to be refunded as there are ( several issues.

As this law has created some dis- cusaidfi' We qtrdte the section that seems most important. Section 10 (a) The Secretary of State shall examine every appli cant for an operator’s or chauffer’s license before issuing any such li cense, except as otherwise provided in divisions (b) and (c) of this sec- ' tion. The Secretary of State shall examine the applicant as to his men tal qualifications to operate a motor vehicle in such* a manner as not to jeapordise the safety of persons or P*v,,v1and as to whether any facte exist which would bar the issuance of a license under section 5 of this act, (Section 5 bars those who are too young, have been suspended, habitual drunkards, feeble minded, those suf fering from physical or mental die- ease,) but such examination shall not include investigation of any facts other than those directly pertaining to the ability of the applicant to oper- ate a motor vehicle with safety, or other than those facts declared to be perquisite to the issuance of a license under this act. (b) The secretary of state may Camp ( Fire Girls Spend in his discreation waive the exami- nation of any person applying for the Vacation at Camp Sherman renewal of an operator's or chauffer s license issued under this act.
