SMYRNA COUNCIL
ENFORCING LAWS

SMYRNA, Del, Sept Smyrna
Town Council has expressed much
pleasure as we'll as their hearty ap-
proval over the manner in which the
police department is taking cogniz-
ance of the dog and automobile law.
AT a recent session they summoned
Chief of Police Benjamin w. Turner
before them, and had plain talk
with him as TO his duties. in which
conference they directed him TO arrest
auto speeders without fear or favor
and to report all owners who allowed
their dogs to run the streets at large
without a muzzle officer Turner
agreed to do so, and the meeting Fri
day evening, the first since their con-
ference with Mr.. Turner developed the
fact that he had reported five owners
OF dogs. who In each case paid their
nne TO Alderman Eugene Grow. The
imposing of these fines has had the
effect of making others more careful
and most dogs now seen on the
streets are wearing a muzzle In the
meantime officer Cummins is killing
on sight most of the "strays." Auto
mobile drivers have also taken the
cue and so careful have they been
that no arrests have been necessary

Holds Meeting

The regular semi monthly meeting of
the North, Northeast and Northwest
Improvement association was held yes
terday afternoon in the chamber Of
commerce committee rooms.
The report of the committee on Ala
media street storm sewers and laterals
occasioned a hot argument between
President Mesmer and other members
of the committee, he protesting that
although he signed the report he did
not approve of all the statements made
by e "A. futile, who is in charge Of
the storm drain and sewer department
in the city engineers office.
The proposed improvement was
strongly opposed by many property
owners on the ground that the indi-
vidual assessment will be too large I'M
less the area assessed is increased.
I /. Dehail, Jean Apiou, jr, Lorenzo
Pefanconi and other property owners
objected strongly to the Improvement
unless the area Of the assessment dis
trict is greatly increased. Chairman
Mesmer finally stated that he would
favor the elimination of all laterals,
limiting the improvement to the con-
struction of the main storm sewer on
Alameda street. 1t was voted that

CONSIDER APPOINTMENT
OF A COUNTY FORESTER
Deputy District Attorney Finds
Law Is Valid

Following request made by the
board of supervisors, Deputy District
Attorney Hartley Shaw prepared an
opinion yesterday which sets forth
that the new state law giving the
board of supervisors authority to APP
point a county board of forestry to
have Jurisdiction over trees planted
in the highways is valid.
Mr.. Shaw, in his opinion, points out
that the only question which might
arise in the establishing of the board
is that part of the law which pro-
vides for the appointment of county
forester whose salary shall be fixed
by the board at $3.50 per month. Nh
Shaw claims that the forester, IL APP
pointed, would be a public OFFICIAL
therefore his salary should be fixed by
the Legislature and not by the board.
The Los Angeles Civic association
presented the board with a petition
requesting that a board of five be
appointed, two of them to be women.
The supervisors then requested Mr..
Shaw for his legal opinion on the mat
ter and he prepared it yesterday.
