Helen Spofford’s eight- months-old Blue Merle Sheltie, known as Scotty, captured the highest honor at the Pacific Northwest Shetland Sheepdog Specialty show which was held in Portland November 3.

Council Gives Approval to New Ordinance Permission Given to Allow Purchase of Garbage Business City councilmen gave their ap proval for the renewal of licenses for two taverns as part of the business completed Monday even ing when they met for their first November session. Approval of the licenses was granted for The Club and Mike’s Place, a pro cedure required by the liquor control commission each year. An ordinance, which has been under discussion at previous meetings, was adopted as an other part of the evening’s work. The ordinance makes it possible for the council to require the re pair of sidewalks which have become dangerous to pedestrians and it will probably be applied first to the walk in front of the Morrow apartments just east of the Rock creek bridge. The walk at that point is in a dangerous condition and if the work is not done by the property owner, the city will order the work done and assess the pro perty for the expense. Councilman W. A. Davis asked permission to purchase the gar bage disposal business now own ed by Mr. and Mrs. Duane Gar rison and that permission was granted. The only other business of the evening was examination and ap proval of the regular first-of-the- month bills, a procedure that is followed regularly on the even ing of the first meeting of the month.
