She was still two steps be hind the woman who put her in line for the throne. The Duchess of Windsor, a peren nial best-dresser, tied for sec ond this year with Mrs. Win ston Guest, the former Lucy Cochrane of Boston. v But the Queen beat out for the first time both her younger sister, Princess Margaret, and her aunt, the Duchess of Kent, who have made the list in previous years, but didn't this year. Queen's Triumph It could be considered a tri umph for the 32-year-old mon arch, who has previously been considered a dowdy dresser by the high-fashion world whose votes make the list. There was little question her radiant appearance in her wardrobe for America made the difference. First place on the list went for the umpteenth time to Mrs. William Paley, wife of the head of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and sis ter of the wife of Uncle Sam's ambassador to Queen Eliza beth's court. Third place went to the Countess Consuelo Crespi, of Rome, the former New York debutante and fashion model Consuelo O'Connor. Trailing the queen were: 5. Actress Audrey Hepburn of Hollywood. 6. Mrs. Henry Ford II of Michigan and New York. 7. Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes of Pans. 8. Claudette Colbert of Hoi lywood and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst Jr., wife of the publisher, tied. 9. The Countess of Quinta- nilla of Madrid. 10. Countess Mona von Bis marck, the former Mrs. Har rison Williams and a long time leader of the list. 11. Mrs. Norman K. Win ston of New York and Paris. 12. Mrs. Thomas Bancroft Jr., New York social regis trite. The annual list used to be 10; this year it's 12. The Dress Institute also names a list of best-dressed women in the fashion world. Leading it, in a dramatic comeback, was 70 -year -old Gabrielle Chanel, top Paris dress designer of the 20's, who is also back in busines.

The r street has a 30 foot right-of-way and has been improved :to city standards by grading : and graveling by property z owners in the area, city offi z. cials said. The street is in the . Hockenyos addition. The lease of Rogue Flying Service at the Medford air port was changed to Dec. 1 from Jan. 1. The change was approved by the council be cause of additional bookkeep- ing expenses and inconveni ence of the firm. The fiscal year for the firm will now be on a Dec. 1 to Dec. 1 basis. Budget Transfers Several budget item trans fers were approved. The transfers were necessary be-' cause of unforeseen expenses j in one fund and other funds j in the same department hav ing a surplus. No additional money will be required to meet expenses, according to city officials. The changes will bring all funds into bal ance, they said. A contract for fire hose was awarded to Munnell and Sherrill company. The hose will cost $2,082.49 and con sists of 900 feet of 2V4 inch hose, 200 feet of 1V4 inch hose and 200 feet of booster hose. The bid was $212.51 less than the budget allotment of $2,305. Other bidders on the hose were Fyr-Strype, Howard Cooper, American LaFrance, American Lighting, American Rubber and Roney's Inc. Al though the bid was not the lowest received, the approval of the Munnell and Sherrill bid was made because the hose contains nylon and is more flexible and lighter weight, according to the city manager's recommendation.
