However, the nocesslty for par ing expenditures from now on to bare necessities was discussed by Mayor Wilson and the mebbers of we city council at last night's coun cil meeting. Leifltreet Hweeplng The subject was precipitated when Councilman J. O. Orey, chairman of the committee on streets and roads, asked the council's sanction, which was given, to the decision reached by his committee to sweep the streets less often, especially in tho residence district, as an economy move, In or der to make replacement of the cost ly brushes of the sweeping machlno less often, until fall when the leaves begin to fall. Chairman O. A. Meeker of the coun cil finance committee then precipi tated general discussion on the no cesslty of rigid economy In city ex penses because of the delayed tax payment situation arising from tho new penalty law. Both he and Mayor Wilson stressed the fact that expen ditures must still be further reduced, as much a possible, confined to Uio bare necessity bone, and urged that every department of the city exer cise the greatest caution, The coun cllmen were all agreed. " luyrnll Cut '. Crty Superintendent Bchoffel call ed attention during the discission tbst the city payroll would be de creased by eight or ten men Inside of another week, when they completed cleaning up the drains of tho olty. Notwithstanding ho had Issued fower requisitions since tho first of the month than In a similar porlod for yearn post, he said that expenses on streot and other city work wore ftlgh because of the old equipment of the tlty, such as truoka and oars, noarlng 10 years of age. There was no discussion whatever on the septic tank situation and ro tent bond election, but Chairman Meeker reportod that the finance committee recommended that tho claim or H. E. Peyton for aiaoo dam ages, because some tlmo ago his laud adjacent to tho soptlo tank along Boar creok was ovorflowod with sew age from a broken pipe line, and cre ated a bad odor, be hot paid bocauso of being excesslvo. In this report the committee did not admit the lia bility of the city. The report was adopted. Post Nlop Hlgns In order to do away with the dan ger to traffic, on recommendation of the streets and roads committee, the council decided to post stop signs at the Intersection of East Main and Riverside avenue, both of which thor oughfares are through onos. A bad sewage situation, due to de loctlvo private soptlo tanks In cer tain portions of the Siskiyou Heights section, and other deplorable condi tions In some other part of the cltv, as discussed with the council by Dr. L. D. Inskeep. city health officer, and a committee was appointed to In vestigate as to tho best moans to bring about remedial changes. The council airport committee, through Its chairman, C. C. rurnas, reported that the request medo re cently by two visiting odlclals of the aviation department of the depart ment of commerce that the airport runway bo widened and a crow tin way added, at this time, had been refused because of tho city's lack ot funds fur the purpose. No Koail on Third street between Oakdole and Fir street cannot be oiled this year due to the fact that the city cannot obtain a carload of oil from Uio county until next year, Chairman Orey reported, and hence the conn ell took no action on the petition for uch oiling, that had been presented t a previous meeting. The council voted to allow no Neon or other signs to be placed across the streets until a new ordinance governing such signs, within certain limitations, Is passrd In the near fu ture. 1 STORY 1 (Continued From ruga Ono) pome must be curd.

Tlie customary fenst was prepared last nlKht for the prodigal, who represents 35,00o worth of dog. In spile of the fact that he ate "Just plain scraps" and answered to the name of "Spike" during hie three day sojourn In Mcdford. "He's a grand dog. The best traln od I ever saw. But I dldn't'suspect him of being worth 25.000," Larry Lnrter, -who found the International champion schnauzer belonging to Mrs. Nlon Tucker of Burllngame, said thl3 morning while lamenting his depart ure In face of the fact that the $50 reward offered for the return of Claus Is his. Larry Is a clerk at thi Hotel Med ford. Lnrrv likes dmi and dogs like Larry, and Claus felt very safe on tho Lartcr back porch from Sunday until yes terday, unmindful of policemen of nnllfnmla. and Oregon, who wore searching Intensively for his cpper-and-salt covered coat as news of his Irparturo spread from new iorit vo tho Pacific coast. Kvrn as manv men. It was his sur render to appetite that gavo Claus away. There weren't enough bones at the Lartor house so Larry went to tho Liberty anaikot to buy more. He told of his find and whon Joseph Chovttsny, chauffeur for Mr. and Mis. Tucker approached the market with a long face, tho butchor Informed lilm that Claus was probably devour ing dog meat In Larry Lartcr's back yard. And Claus was. Claua left the Klon Tucker lodge i.f. Rogue rlvor Friday. Sunday ho mot Imrry at tho Trlanglo service utation In thlB city. It Is believed the dog was enrouto to his other homo In Burllngame. Ho leaped upon the fonder of the Larter auto and received a friendly pat. When the Lartcrs reached homo Claus wbb right behind thorn. He ontcred the hoimo and when Invited out climbed Into the auto and oxproascd Intentions of ntaylng. His determination convinc ed the Lartors that the dog was lost. They derided to give him a home and were contemplating the purchase of a llccline. for Claua was out wjthout his collar, when Mr. Chevlgny colled for him yesterday. "He iim't a common dog at all In Ills friendliness," Larry told friends, who gaUitvivl 'round tho Mcdford hotel deak this morning- "He wouldn't have anything to do with other peo pie. Several fellows tried to pet him but he wouldn't have them around. I guess I reminded him of someone. He stayed at the houso at night and wouldn't loavo tho yard during the day. But If I had known he was worth a'Je.n'.m i tnink i wouio at least have locked the bock porch." Mrs. Tucker, to whom the dog, never defeated In cometUlon. be long. Is In New York.

Bales of butter on tho open mar ket continue above the extreme quo tations that have been for ome days listed on the exchange here, a con dulon which makes the so-called oi flcial quotations of the latter more or lexs of aouDtrui value.
