ed ordinances Belling some street
Improvement bonds, and ordering

from Sixths-street and Fifth street

Instead of a p. m. The councllmen

May Sell Public Market
The matter of the city possibly
selling the public market house on
South Riverside was discussed brief
ly, when the subject was brought
up by Councilman Porter, chairman
of the land appraisal committee,
who asked that the councU give
consideration of the matter as to
whether they desired to sell or re
tain the property and how much
they thought the city ought to get
for it, If sold. The public market
as such, was abandoned some months
ago.
It seems that there are two ten
uttoa nff-rs to nurchase the nron-
erty If the city decides to place a
price on It air. rorier saia umb uu
committee in Informal talks about
the matter had considered charging
100 a iront loot, ine prvpeiuy
SO eet wide, and extends to Bear
In the informal discussion which
followed, It was stated by some
Minnllmm that. In AVftllt Of & SRl6
previous councils had off-handedly
talked of a price or at least
to 115,000.
It was generally felt by the city
officials that because of the de
pression, now was a poor time to
.-11 anH anmA vnnrtlmen aoreed
that the public market property
wltb Its advantageous town iwohwi,
Hnt.h from South Riverside to
Bear creek was a very valuable
property for the city to nom on
.,,.,. munlRlnn.1 line.
It was finally decided to place the
matter of selling and price In the
hands of the oouncu iinance
.nn,.i.ai Mmmlttf.es for studv
and recommendation. The finance
committee Is composes 01 v. a.
Meeker, D. B. Terrett and W. W.
Allen, and the land appraisal com
mittee consists of O. W. Porter, J.
O. Grey and W. W. Allen.
One Bidder for Bonds
It was voted to sell between 24,
000 and $25,000 worth of bonds for
Improvements done six months ago,
to the only bidder, Burr, Conrad
and Broom of Portland, for 100.07
per hundred dollars, plus accrued
interest. City Recorder Alford stated
that out of 13 bond houses to which
was sent notices of ths pending sale,
the above firm made the only bid.
However, It was . generally deemed
by the city officials that the bid
was fair one for the city.
An ordinance was passed to grade
and pave the alley between Front
and North Central, to do away with
a long complained of situation
caused by water running Into base
ments of near by store buildings on
Sixth street and North Central.
This matter has long been under
consideration. The Improvement can
' either be paid for In cash by the
property onwers benefited or bonded
under the Bancroft act.
No action was taken to amend
the city milk ordinance, as request
ed by the Jackson County Dairy
men's association recently, follow
ing the short local milk war.- so ss
to plsce teeth In the ordinance,
which would have a big bearing on
any further dispute between the
n.nrii.r.ti and distributors.
Chairman W. W. Allen of the
health committee stated mat n
committee had considered the re
quest but was not yet decided as
to what action to take. The com
mittee was desirous of consulting
the city milk Inspector and the
rj. 8. standard milk ordinance au
thorities as to whether such a pro
posed amendment would Interfere
with the working of the city milk
ordinance, and until this Informa
tion was obtained would not make
a recommendation either way.
Danterous Crossing Hinted
On recommendation of the coun
cil building and light committee It
was voted to make the dangerous
crossing safer at night for pedes
trians and motor traffic at the In
tersection of West Msln and West
Sixth streets by Installation of an
all-night light at that Intersection.
This crossing Is one of the longest
ones In the city and after the
service station light are out. Is
very dark so that motorist often
do not discern pedestrlsns on the
crossing until almost upon them.
After considerable debate on the
proposed new ordinance until the
the next meeting. There is a divis
ion of sentiment among the coun
cllmen as to whether the present
ordinance should be changed, or a
new one passed with some changes
and requiring more stringent regu
lations. Lsst night's debate was pre
cipitated by the representative of a
a sign making Ifnd Installing con
cern asking that the council grant
permission for two pending applica
tions to plscec signs across the
street, which the present ordinance
forbids.
Plseon l.sw Dl.icuH.trrt
FurUier action en the proposed
ordinance to legulate pigeons In the
city, by prohibiting keeping the
birds within 100 feet of a dwelling
was also deferred untU the next
council meeting, following a protest
made by Allison Moulton, who with
two other citizens who also keep
pigeons attended the meeting.
This ordinance, which grew out
of the protest of Jack Wurtz against
the pigeons or his neighbor, Wm.
Sproul. was given Its first reading
at the lacst council meeting. The
decision to defer further action was
also Influenced by the fact that Mr.
Sproul, who has never been heard
on this question before the coun
clcl, will be able to appear at the
next meeting and state his side of
the controversy.
Attorney Moulton stated that he
had kept a smsll flock of pigeons
for years and had gotten much de
light out of developing a valuable
strain of the birds In the past
three years. He kept hi pigeons In
an enclosed runway and ornamental
cage, and never had he heard a
complaint . from a neighbor about
them, he said.
The way the ordinance reads now
it applies to pigeons kept In en
closures or runways, as well as to
the pigeons flying at large. Mr.
Moulton protested that the ordin
ance should apply only to pigeons
flying at large, and most of the
councllmen agreeing with this.
City Attorney Farrell was instruc
ted to amend the pending ordinance
to exclude pigeons kept In enclos
ures. Law Cares for Nuisances
Mr. Moulton, who held thst pig
eons were not a nuisance when
properly kept In an ornamental
loft, declared against any pigeon
regulation at all, as he was against
all such prohibitory ordinances. The
matter of remedy for pigeon nuis
ance had better be left to the civil
courts, he said.
"Any time when pigeons become
a nuisance to a neighbor, ne saia,
"he can go Into civil court for re
dress and obtain an Injunction. The
statutes are full of protection for a
citizen, and It la needless for the
city council to pass ordinances with
hope of regulating same."

1860 Styles and Frills, Un

Adapted for Modern Con

PARIS, Sept. 16. (UP) There Is
never anything Indefinite about the
fashion Ideas and edicts of Jean
Patou. And for the season 1931-32
whn being definite has been one
of the hardest things dressmakers
have been called upon to be. due
to the wavering between the past,
present and future epochs in milli
nery and the mode. Patou has
planted his feet firmly on certain
positive principles. He wlU speak
for himself.
I have not allowed myself to be
Influenced by the fashions of 1860
1880. which are the keynote of the
new hat fashions. Dresses cannot
follow a caprice of fashion as easily
as hats. The hat Is a relatively in
expensive object which has the
privilege of becoming old-fashioned
in a few weeks. A dress should
last several months, and should also
permit Its wearer to live her life
without being hampered In her
movements. This Is why all the at
tempts to reinstate puffs and crino
lines can never succeed, for the
doors of our little two-seaters bar
the way.
Crude for Taste.
'The Colonial exhibition will have
no Influence on my collection. While
I recognise that Art Negre possesses
certain very Interesting qualities, 1
consider It too crude, too lacking In
subtlety, to be a sure counsellor
and guide in a calling that demands
so much taste and tact.
The outside Influence to which
I have been most susceptible Is that
of the Persian exhibition In London.
Of all the great artistic epochs of
the past it Is the one best adapted
to the art of costume by reason of
Its Infallible taste, ths subtlety of
Its colorings and the sovereign ele
gsnoe of Its line.
An Investigation earned out by
Charles A. Cole, chief, division of
plant Industry for the department of
agriculture in the state, reveals no
foundation for the current rumors
t,hat Oregon and Washington fruit 1
not getting past the California quar
antine stations. Mr. Cole was assist
ed In his investigation oy Mr. Fleury,
chief quarantine officer of California.
The only fruit discarded at the
quarantine station la badly mashed
and rotten. One lot of peaches and
one lot of pears have been confiscat
ed this season at the Hornbrook sta
tion, officers there stated. This fruit
had a peculiar scale, and was sent to
the department of entomology for
examination.
Don't Say

Holsum and be as
sured of the finest
the market affords.
Mr. Fleury also Informed Mr. Cole
that the only restrictions on Oregon
and Washington fruit is oherrles
coming from areas infested with the
cherry fruit fly.
The Investigation also revealed
thst a few service station and camp
ground owners In southern Oregon
have told tourists that they could
not take fruit into California with
them. In which cases the occupants
of the car would leave It with ths
operators of the establishments.
Inspectors said they had been un
able to find out the names of such,
places, as the travelers would gen
erally say near Ashland, edford, or on
up the line.
