By ELMORE M. MURPHY YOLUME XXX The discussion of a veritable maze of detail covering practically all deâ€" partments of the city‘s government kept the council working overtime at their regularly scheduled meeting on Monday evening. As there was no open meeting held last week the subjects brought up for comment at this week‘s gathering were more numerous than usual, and since Mayor Ronan announced before adâ€" journment there would be no counâ€" cil meeting next week a like crowded calendar is indicated a fortnight hence. The council‘s first order of busiâ€" ness was to approve the appointâ€" ment of A. Y. Bingham to memberâ€" ship on the board of the Policemen‘s Wampler, resigned. Commissioner Sharp in his report asked and received permission from the council to purchase for the sum of $100 a used sideâ€"dump trailer to augment the city‘s refuse disposal equipment. At Mr. Sharp‘s suggesâ€" tion, City Clerk Musser read the City Engineer‘s report on the borâ€" ings for the foundation work on the new incinerator recently earried out under his supervision. The report stated that due to the unstable charâ€" acter of the ground under the site of the present incinerator, pilings would have to be sunk to support the new building. Mr. Cole indicated that some 35 piles would be necesâ€" sary for this work and placed the added subâ€"foundation expense if this site was finally selected at around $4,000. He stated that this addiâ€" tional expense would not be necesâ€" sary if the new incinerator were built on the city yard property. On the motion of Commissioner Swanâ€" son the report was filed for later discussion by the council after furâ€" ther tests were made on the necesâ€" sary foundation work at the city dump site. An air of good natured humor mingled with appropriate tragedy was introduced at the meeting when Mayor Ronan assumed the role of the hero ina lâ€"act tablue which might have been titled "Woodman, Spare that Tree." The plot of the play centered around the tree in front of 370% Central avenue. According to Commissioner Swanson this tree, which we will cast as the villian of the piece, has been guilty of plugâ€" ging up the water mains and generâ€" ally obstructing the prospective proâ€" ject of widening the street at this point. As punishment for the crimes enumerated above he asked for perâ€" mission to remove the offender forthwith, and cited the approval of the Garden club in making this move. The Mayor dwelled at length on the beauties of nature in general and the tree in question in‘ particuâ€" lar and lamented the fact that such an action should be necessary. Comâ€" (Continued on page 4) City Officials Proclaim Apr. 19 As ArborDay In HighlandP ark The plan of devoting a certain day each year to the public plantâ€" ing of trees and the name Arbor Day were proposed by J.

These people have discovered that peace and beauty are inherent in human nature. They have found that animals and other woodland creatures when unmolested by man, trap and gun express an intelliâ€" gence, friendliness and understandâ€" ing which todav seems lacking in nations. You will agree with the Philosopher of the Forest when he tells you that during his many years in the forest he has come upon many wild men but no wild animals. Sam Campbell‘s pictures will take you to his 2,900 acre forest and lakes home, the Sanctwary of Wegimind in northern Wisconsin. They will take you through the wilds of the Canadian canoe counâ€" try, little explored by man. Danny the Deer, Stubby the Chipmunk, Nuisance the Red Squirâ€" rel, Little Rascal the Racoon, as well as bears and moose together with many of their relatives and friends, play stellar roles in these colored motion pictures. You will be amused and delighted at their antics.
