PERMITS ISSUED TO
y
Among tho building permits 'ssucd
by the city council lust nltjht wore
onvH for soverul substantial now
structures. It developed ut the mcet
liiK that the school board of thu city
hud fulled to ask for u permit to con
struct the big now play shed now
being erected on tho Washington
school play ground directly across the
street facing the flno homes on Lau
rel street, about which thero had
been much adverse comment.
It was also brought out ut this ses
sion that the school board had erect
ed' the temporary ovifIw- School
building In the Washington school
yard without having obtained a
building permit from tho city. There
wus no discussion of- these matters,
beyond the fact thnt tho school board
had shown discourtesy toward tho
city council by not asking -for such
permits, and thnt in the future when
the city planning board gets to func
tioning, tho erection of such struc
tures will bo impossible unless refer
red to tho board and sanctioned by it.
A permit was Issued to the Jack
son county creamery for the construc
tion at a cost of t 10,000 of a cold
storage plant adjoining the cream
ery plant on North Kir street. A per
mit was also issued for the building
of the new parish house of St. Mark's

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 20. A
major Item of geographical news
nrlses from tho nccessioA of tho Fas
cisti In Italy because, of Mussolini's
reported announcement that his gov
ernment will seek the transfer of the
Swiss Canton of Ticlno to "Greater
Italy."
"Italy's irredentism, born in the late
seventies of tho lost century, bore fruit
when the Trentlno roglon came to her
after the World War. With- thut
encouragement it is not surprising
that her dream of uniting Italians
nnder the Italian government should
persist.
"Ticino is so situated and so popu
lated that it could not well help being
the next place for the irredentist
lightning to strike. This canton makes
a trowel-like thrust into the saw-tooth
boundary of northern Italy a thrust
which becomes especially conspicuous
since similar Austrian projections
were Ironed out
At the Tunnel's End
"There is no gainsaying that Ticino
is thoroughly Italian in race, language
and culture. It is a question, however,
whother the Ticinese wish to forego
their hard won status as a fairly
autonomous unit of the Swiss confed
eration for government hy their home
land. Across the Alps lies Italy, for
the southward traveler through the
Simplon tunnel. To nil appearances
the south-bound passenger emerging
from tho St. Gothnrd tunnel also is in
Italy. The little town of Airolb has
every aspect of the 'Land of tho Ma
1 donnas' and down the course of the
i Ticino river into that wondrous valley
of plenteous waterfalls, the Leventina,
the people, the scenery, even the vege
tatlon is distinctively Italian.
I "However Airolo is on the northcrn
niost frontier of tho Swiss Canton,
! ami after passing town after town
i which exert the spell or Italy, tho trav
eler finds himself at Ticino's capital
'of three castles, Bollinzona, where the
i St. Gothard line works.
"Locarno beckons from the east,
only fourteen miles away, and Lugano
allures him to the south. Having got
ten this far into Switzerland's Italian
Canton, where American visitors arc
few and German guests formerly were
many, the wise traveler would see
both. , '
