The wire was low because of
three poles having been shattered j
by lightning a short time ago,
breaking the supporting cross-1

Qn fnr na WflJ known ParlV this
afternoon the special meeting of
the city council called for tonight
at s:uu ociock to mscuss a request
for readjustment or garbage haul
ing nnd disposal rates in the busi
ness district, no other business will
be transacted or discussed than
that lor which the meeting was
called.
And it also became known today
Hint the meeting was called nt
the urgent desire of the f'ity Sani
tary Service. Inc., which hold" the
garbage concession from the city.
The company, it is claimed, has
been renderim; good service, and
no complaints except minor onus
hove been made about that service
for some time past.
However, the company claims
that Its rates for hauling garbage
nnd other refuse from the business
district nre woefully inadequate,
nnd much less than charged for
such business service in other cities
of Medford's fdze, which causes the
company to operate ut a loss.
Hence the calling of the special
meeting nt the company's behest,
nt which the management hopes
to make such a strong case Hint
the council will permll n read
justment of hauling rates in the
business section
No attempt will he made to have
the rate hauling choree Increased
for the resident districts, it Is said,
the company holding that the pres
ent charge for (he resident rate
Is adequate If only the rate Is reas
onably Increased for .the business
district.

(IP) Ar cheerful as crickets, the
crew of the famous airplane South

the norlh AUantlc with their radio
keeping up a . spirited stream of
messages and their propellers eat

gay spirits as was Indlcatod by
their many messuges picked up in

The sky was slightly overcast,
but the ocean was calm nnd condi

which already has tuken no heavy

Undeterred by these tragedies of

sage picked up In London at 1:16
p. m. "Ocean like milt pond.
Traveling 100 miles an hour. If
conditions were7 like this always,

It was cold, high up there over

showed no loss of zest for their
great adventure.
The Southern Cross left the Irish
coast at 6:16 a. m. O. M. T. (12:16

westward over tho great elrcltf
