Councilmen referred the matter to the finance committee, but sug gested that little hope is held lor the measure. No explanation was given, but it was hinted that since the city already plans to put a 1 j null park levy and mill recrra- tion levy on the ballot, it would be ' wiser to hold off a request for addi- i Uonal airport funds. City property took most of the council's attention for the rest of the meeting.

Thursday night he drove the car up to the house to take his wife, son Dale and daughter. Dot Am, and a neighbor girl. Carolyn Dickson to a Christian Endeavor party. They came out all dressed to go when he heard something clanking around the radiator fan. Almost immedi ately he knew it was a skunk. They drove to the party, about a mile away, and then opened the hood and found the little black and white animal. Apparently it had climbed up Into the engine from below and when the motor started. It started walking around and got caught in the fan belt -How do you get rid of skunk smell in a car. anyway?" Fleming is asking. i Decision On ' Palestine Due i LAKE SUCCESS.

The prop erly is located In the vicinity of the I Old Fort road and the Ooodlng i tract, future site of the school dis trict's proposed junior high school. Ordinance OK d The city attorney was authorized to draw an ordinance of the change. Along the same line, the planning commission asked that a strip two lots wide on the west side of the highway site be raised from class 1 residential to class 1-A. A question as to whether the properly is city i or privately owned was turned over to City Attorney Henry Perkins for a report next Monday, j Igl told the city fathers that Sec ' ond and Lakeview additions are i probably the most desirable home; : sites left in town, but replatting is i ' necessary before people will build t ; homes there. The district should ; ; hare streets completely rearranged, j j Igl said. The area has been with- I held from sale, pending replatting, ! for some time. The matter was rr- ; : f erred to the planning commission, i i finance committee and Councilman . I A. F. Condrey. , Councilmen voted to put the j southwest comer of Second addition i up for sale in two-lot units. The lots j are only 25-foot, and in order to re- ! lease them for sale, they will be sold : in 50-Ioot sectors only. Condrey pointed out that city lota being withheld from sale at the re quest of the state highway commis sion and others for replatting amount to an appraised valuation of $o&,75v, and demanded that some thing be done to release the prop erty so the city can get some money from its sale. Flare-Vp Only one flare-up was evident in the usual heated council session when Police Judge Howard Strode asked that councilmen and other city officials leave one of the secre taries free to work on the council ! minutes on Tuesdays, and not give her other work to do until the min utes are completed. Councilman A. F. Condrey snap ped back, "Councilmen are mana gers of the city until the people say otherwise." He went on to say that administration of the business office was S trade's Job, and that he should take care of It. Strode protested that all he wants is cooperation 1 irom the council, and the matter was dropped.
