Control of Stray Dog*
In response to a request fro.n
Superintendent William T 7.ah- j
radnicek two weeks ago, the!
Council acted last night to au
thorize the drawing up of an or
dinance which would allow some
contr ol of local dogs. It v, as
pointed out that the city licensing!
ordinance which goes into effect
January J provides for the pur-j
chase of a license for each dog.
Paving or Service Building?
The final City Council meeting j
of tfie year ended in some dis
agreement a* to what priority the
city should give two needed pro
jects: paving of the streets and
a city administration building.
The majority of the eouncilmen
thought that the city should
draw up plans for a proposed ad
ministration building and make
application for funds from APW.
A1 Hagen insisted that paving of
the city streets should come -first.
It was pointed out that paving
would be impossible until a city
survey made possible the plotting
of profiles of all city streets, all
proposed extensions, and the es
tablishment of grade lines, as rec
ommended by the City Planning
Commission. It was also observed
that it would be foolish to pave
the streets before the sewers and
water lines had been put in.
On the other hand, proponents
of the administration building
stated, the city should not waste
its money by paying it out in
rent. Shelter for the fire equip
ment will be needed almost im
mediately, a new jail and police
center will be needed soon, and
the city clerk should have some
place to do business and hold
City Magistrate’s Court. Already
the Council is paying S30 a month
for a meeting place. It was also
pointed out that it takes time for
an application to bear fruit.
The next meeting of the City
Council will be held Wednesday.
January 2, at 7-30 p.m. in Sev
erns’ Cabinet Shop.

Claus can be left at the theater
or at the Palmer Drug store. He
has agreed to pick out the ten
best letters addressed to him, and
there will be an extra present for
each of these letter writers.
The two o’clock party is
planned primarily for the small
children—those up to and includ
ing the Oth grade. Parents who
bring their small children will be
admitted only if there are seats
available. Then they will be seat
ed only in the rear seats of the
theater. Their children will have
to sit on their laps. Men of the
Moose will act as ushers and as
sist in handling the children. |
The program chairman, A1 Ha
gen. asks that a representative
from each of the civic organiza
tions attend the party as an ob- j
server. Suggestions and ideas for
a better and bigger Santa Claus
party are invited. These repre
sentatives are asked to announce
themselves ahead of time. j
This party is an annual event
sponsored by the Valley mer
chants. The merchants are asked
to send their checks in immedi- ^
ately to Bill Head, treasurer for;
this year’s party. A complete list
of contributing sponsors will be
published next week.
