License Fees Due
City Must Be in
By January 15
First of the year holds many
headaches along with extra
taxes, income taxes, holiday bills
and license fees.
Chief of Police Earl Heuvel
was particularly interested in
the payment of license fees due
the city and said he "expected"
all fees to be paid by January
15. He also observed that 15
days of grace should be suffi
cient. "If fees are not paid by Janu
ary 15, this department will be
forced to follow the ordinance
to the letter," the chief said.
The ordinance, incidentally, im
poses a penalty on delinquent
fees.

"Would I want to read this my

According to a local librarian,
less than one-third the books re

usable. Some were old, worn
text books, others were obsolete
reference books, and there were
many in such condition that they
reached the ash can instead of a
