CHILDREN. THEY ARE HERE
AND ARE NOW ON SALE.
BIG DOINGS NOW ON

Attend the big shoe sale at The

ser of San Francisco was purchased
from the board of trade of that city
for 55c on the dollar. The stock is
here and is now on sale at less than
the cost to manufacture. Over 100 big
bargain tables are displaying these
shoes. Every member of the family
can be fitted and the public can save
about half of their shoe bills. M. Les
ser carried nothing but high grade
shoes. There was not /; shoddy pair
of shoes in his stock. The tight money
market forced him to the wall and the
board of trade sold the stock for the
benefit of the creditors. The repre-
sentatives of the Mammoth Shoe
House were on the spot, purchased this
stock, moved it here and now offer it
for sale. $1.00 will do the duty of $500
at this sale. You will find shoes on
the bargain tables from 80 cents pair
up, and every pair offered is at big
saving on the price. Be sure and be
on hand today or tomorrow and get
the first pickings from this stock.
Extra salesmen will be on hand so you
won't have to wait

OUELROLO ABSENT
BY MAYORS GRANT
HOUSING INSPECTORS LEAVE is
EXPLAINED
Responsible to Health officer Powers,
as Are All Other Employees
of the Depart
ment

1t developed at yesterdays special
meeting of the board of health, at
which Mayor Harper presided, that the
leave of absence granted Housing In
spector Nicholas Queirolo, over which
there was some dispute, had been
granted by the mayor.
'T have been away since" said the
mayor, "and could not report the action
to the board before today.
"Queirolo told me he was entitled to
a leave under the department rules
This was accepted by the board as an
excuse for the absence of Queirolo,
whose action resulted in the housing
commissioner asking that temporary
inspector be assigned in his place.
Queirolos vacation has resulted In
much feeling in the department, as
many other employees who had long
been in the service say they have been
unable to get vacations, though they
"are entitled to them'
Mapor Harper also ruled on another
question over which the board OF
health members seemed in doubt. The
housing commission is an adjunct of
the health department, and Queirolo is
under DR.. l.. M. Powers order, though
temporarily assigned to Chairman
Titan Coffey of the housing commits
sion, to inspect house courts.
Hereafter all vacations must be ap-
proved by DIR. L. M. Powers, the board

HOUSE STICKS OUT ON
LINE OF FIRST STREET
improvements West of Hill Street May
Be Halted Until Law Depart
ment Disposes of
Obstacle

In reference to the improvement of
First street from Hill street west City
Engineer Homer Hamlin reports that
there is frame house that projects
into the street.
The house is on the southeast So feet
of lot 1, block C, of the Mott tract. The
name of the owner is John A. Carter,
subject to a mortgage in favor of A. G..
Gassen.
II would respectfully recommend"
says he, that the city attorney be in
structed to ascertain in proper man
ner whether the owner disputes the
street line and whether it will be neces-
sary to commence an action of eject
ment or to quiet title before street pro-
ceedings can proceed.
IF this action is deemed necessary
by him I would further recomend that
he be instructed to commence such
action"
