I License for Music Boxes To Be Lowered —o--- Transportation for WPA Workers to Airport Is Requested Reduction in the license of music boxes was decided upon at the meeting of the city coun cil Monday night, though before the sew schedule can take ef fect a change in the ordinance regulating such fees will have to be made. It was agreed that operators should pay a license of $100 a year, and each ma chine $5 a year. Under the pres ent schedule no license is re quired of operators and $5 a month must be paid for each machine. Request for the change was made by G. F. Johnson of the G. F. Johnson Music Co., Port land, who stated that his comp any operates five machines in Vernonia. He declared the fee of $5 a month to be prohibitive, as the machines do not take in anything like what the pin and ball machines do, and it would not be possible for him to oper ate here under that schedule. He offered to pay the $100 op erators’ license, twice the amount required in Portland, he said, providing the license on machines is reduced to $5 annually. The council considered the propo sition a fair one, and accepted it. WPA Traniporaation Asked J. T. Kirk appeared before the council as head of a delegat ion of WPA workers to ask that transportation to and from the airport, where they are now working, be provided for them. At present, he said they had to pay for their own, costing each 25 cents a day, which they could not afford. Members of the council re plied that there are no city funds for the purpose, and referred the matter to the chamber of commerce to see if the amount could not be paid from the air port fund which that organiza tion has. The matter of delinquent wat er bills was discussed, and the water committee was instructed to enforce the penalty of shut ting off the water of customers who do not keep their current bills paid. ANOTHER CALL FOR CCC APPLICATIONS IS MADE Another call for CCC appli cations is being made by the Columbia county relief commit tee, as the quota for the county has not been filled. The dead line for applicatioss will be Oct. 31. Those eligible are men from the relief rolls or from the WPA, age limits 17 to 28.
