DID YOU EVER TRY TO LICK THE COPS? Paul Lepczyk of Chicago, is equally as mystifying as his cognomen, as is anyone who engages a police force in strenuous combat with even the faint- est idea of winning the argument. Lepczyk, (pronounced like the in- evitable lip-stick) somewhat the worse for moonshine, staged a spirit- ed argument in the Winnetka Auto Livery Wednesday over the price of a new tire. He fought the garage crew and later took on the police, that is to say he didn't, really, for a big copper hit him on the point of the jaw and, a bit later he was dragged before the magistrate. $30 and costs.

Bids from fourteen contract- ors were opened, the lowest figure for the building being that of Hoeffer & Company of Chicago for $72,390. The low bid for filtration equipment was received from the American Water Softner Company of - Phila- delphia, being $58,756. The total amount exceeded the en- gineers estimate by' about $10,000. It was decided to' postpone accept- ance of the bids until Monday even- ing, April 11, in order to enable the engineers to make a careful study of the situation. Vehicle Licenses Vehicle and dog license fees are not due until May 1.
