Carl Haberlach reports having
had to reduce the price of cheese
three cents on Monday, this being
the first change In six months, or
since October 17th. Only once has
cheese held steady as long, that was
when the market remained un­
changed from October 13th, 1919 to
June 2, 1920-
Wisconsin twins this week
dropped to 13 7-8 cents and it was
thought poor policy to try to hold
the Tillamook market at 26c, as our
markets would simply be swamped
with the cheaper cheese and it
would take all summer to recover
from such a disaster.
Cheese production is considerable
below 1921. Production last year
for first two weeks in April was
4,600 boxes, against only 3,633 this
year, showing a reduction in the
two weeks of 967 boxeB.

TEACHERS' SAURIES MAY BE
REDUCED THE COMING YEAR
Superintendent • Lamb believes
that teachers salaries will be slight­
ly reduced for the coming year in
this county. There seems to be a
general demand not only in this
county but all over the state for
reduction of salaries where it can
be had without impairment of ser-
vice. In this connection Superin­
tendent Lamb states that there is
no apparent shortage of teachers in
the county.
No new schools were added io
the county this year, but there may
be two or three consolidations of
districts the coming year.
The
Hayes school which opened early
wjHl close on the 26th day of April,
and all of the schools will complete
the school year on the first of June
next. One hundred teachers are
teaching in the county at the pres­
ent time, and there are at present
fifty-six districts in the county.

Walt. Wood of Bay City, who has
the contract for driving the piling
for the bulkhead on the Bayocean
road along the bayside, is making
good progress, and the Court has
added to his contract at the former
rate, as it was found necessary to use
more piling to complete the work.
A blast was successful at the Far­
mer grade last Wednesday, which
dislodged a large quantity of earth
and rock, and added materially to
the width of the road at that point.
Workmen are driving piling at
Saling grade to add to the retaining
wall, where the Nestucca comes In
close to the grade, and where the
river at flood stages has at times
in the past done considerable dam­
age to the roadbed.
Work is progressing favorably on
the Manhattan and Brighton county
road extension. Right of way and
other work is being done, and good
results are reported, considering the
bad weather that has prevailed.
Up in the north end of the coun­
ty work ts progressing favorably on
the tide land dyke road which is to
connect Nehalem with Wheeler. It
is believed by some of the court of­
ficials that this road will be com­
pleted by July first of this year.
Frank Heyd, who had the contract
for building the tide gate has fin­
ished his work.
It is believed that the state high
way board will soon let blds for the
construction of three small concrete
bridges between Camp F-. ur an 1 ».he

giadii'g and gravelling of prv.*i-

above points. This work will be

vision.

will be done in the north end dur­

on the “clean.” The ladies of the

authority to compel, if necessary,
the removal of unsightly piles of
rubbish and garbage.
Next week
the transfer companies will submit
their charges for the removal of
garbage, and it is expected that due
publicity will be given to the pub
lie.
The property owner or tenant
will put the rubbish and garbage
into suitable boxes or barrels, and
place them near the street, and the
expressman will do the rest. But —
the city will not pay for the removal
of the accumulated rubbish.
You
wti! have to settle with the exflr
man for it.
Ordinance No. 281 declares that
it will be unlawful for any property
owner to permit any grass, weeds,
vines, brush or other vegetation to
grow and extend out over any side­
walk. bordering upon such lands,
either from side lands or from the
space between the sidewalk and the

or falls to comply with this ordin­
ance, the city may do the work and
charge same up as a lien upon th«
property.
The council wants a real clean­
up, and expects every citizen to do
his duty, as Tillamook will be vis­
ited by convention bodies and hun­
dreds of tourists during the early
summer, and civic pride should
prompt everyone to make the city
