special election yesterday authorized
the mayor and council to issue $4,000
in bonds for the purpose OF paying the
Indebtedness of the city, In excess OF
the revenues derived from the con.

a vote of 273 to 20 the voters at this
same election assented to the issuance
of $4,000 for the extension of the
city water works system.
The opposition to each of the bond
propositions proved very weak. A re-
markable feature of the election IN the
first ward, where the voters unani-
mously supported the bonds for the
payment Of the excess Indebtedness,
and only one man voted against the
extension of the water works. The
opposition drew most of It's strength
from the third ward, where eighteen

DELAY
COSTS $S5

George Talcott, roomer at the
l. x. l.. lodging house, was robbed
of $50 in cash and a certified check
for 1925 on August rs last. He i'm
mediately reported the matter to
the police station, giving the name
of the man whom he suspected, and
asked that an officer be sent to
make an investigation. He was told
that policeman would be sent
right away, and he waited around
the house for three days, but none
put in an appearance.
"The only thing the police did in
my case, after me taking the man
| suspected of the robbery to the
police station, was to getan express
sion of sympathy from Officer Ches-
ter Edwards. Sympathy is all right
in its place, but it won't do you any
good when the other fellow has
your money. They could have
cleared up that case in Is minutes
had they given it attention"

titled check. after paying an attor-
ney $25 for legal services. He is out

ARCADE FRONT IS LATEST
STYLE FOR STORES

Noticed any improvements on
Riverside lately?
If you like to glance at displays
in shop windows, probably you have
noticed the change.
It's in the fronts of the stores.
During the past two or three
months thousands and thousands
of dollars have been spent in this
work. The big new idea in shop
windows is the arcade effect. The
idea is to increase the window dis
play space, and to create a design
that naturally leads the person in
specting the goods displayed right
to the store door.
About a dozen of these arcade
fronts have been constructed, and
many more are planned. One big
department store is spending $4,000
or $1,000 on the arcade effect. The
cost of putting in the new style
front ranges all the way from $500
to $4,000 or more. The finest ar
cade front in the west is possessed
by the Emporium, in San Francisco.
1t is about half block long, and
has promenade between the outer
and inner display windows.

FOUR HURT IN STREET
GAR CRASH

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 29.-
Four persons are confined to their
homes today, suffering from inju-
ries sustained shortly before mid
night, when a Sellwood street car
crashed into a Waverly-Richmond
car at East Eleventh and Harrison
streets. One woman, whose name
could not be ascertained, was
hurled through window with a
baby which she carried. She was
hurried away by street car en-
ployes, it is said. The smash re-
suited from mistaken orders. Both
cars were so badly wrecked that
they cannot be repaired. Those
most seriously injured were:
Miss Ruth Stearns, M. J. Hull
and wife and Ray McMire. A
dozen others were cut by flying
glass.
