Dear.
Civic news of various sorts has
been the highlight of the week,
with the special city bond elec
tion topping the list. The voters
approved all six of the civic im
provement projects on the bal
lot and the council will now de
cide which of the six to start
first. It is thought this will prob
ably be the park, since the swim
ming pool, previously approved,
is to be in the park. The new
sanitary sewer and enlargement
of the disposal phmt are also
high on the "must" list, with the
new Jackson street bridge, li
brary and storm sewer construc
tion coming afterwards.

show that the pear crop may be
larger this fall than last, but soft

ing of lots on South Riverside
and Central south of Ninth street
to an undisclosed buyer, investi
gation by a California college of

freezing concern of local pros
pects for a plant.

ing "the Chapel of the Rocks and

remodelled from two former
dwellings. The minister has also
supervised construction of a new
fountain and bench on the court
house lawn as a gift to the coun

of a new scholarship fund of
$5,000 a year which Holmes
brothers have made available for
boys graduating from any 4-year-course
