CITY COUNCIL HAS
BUSY MEET; MANY
HEMS DISCUSSED
In a three-hour session of the
City Council last night, a great
deal cf discussion took place and
there was action on a number of
matters, M-Day <moviiv. day) prob
lems were discussed including a
setilement cf the Sturm Lockers
now housed under 1. r in the AB
Hall. L. A. Sturm rejected the
City's offer of $11,000 as dama n,
ior breaking his lease. It was de
cided to continue negotiations.
Councilman Bert Caro moved that
the City accept a de c! for the
swimming pool site and use permit
for the larger area in Ever.teen
Bowl from the A-J Mining Co.
Passed.
Councilman Joe Thibodeau gave
a report of the police committee
recommending tin t Second Street
between Main and Franklin 'streets

be permitted except for loading
and unloading from Main to Gold

meters be removed from Third
Street from Main to Franklin and
it be made a two-way street.

REPELLENTS
• Your children, more than any mem

of weather. That’s why it makes good
sense to have their outer garments —
coats, jackets — treated with our
“Cravenette” water repellents. Here’s
what we do. First, the garment is
beautifully dry cleaned in the usual
way. Then we process it with
“Cravenette” water repellents. That
way, it will shed showers — and your
youngster is spared the wetness that so
often ends up with coughs and colds.
Send your children's coats and jackets
for cleaning — and be sure, at the
same time, to ask for our “Cravenette”
