10000 CLUB HOLDS
ENJOYABLE MEETING

Thursdays meeting of the Ten
Thousand Club, in charge of Mrs. W..
G.. Conley, chairman of household eco
nomics, was one of the most profit
able meetings of the present club
year, if the amount of interest mani
tested is any criterion. 1t was planned
especially with view toward being
helpful to young mothers, and it is to
be regretted that more of them were
not present, but owing to the fact that
it was the first meeting following the
holiday recess, and unannounced in
the papers, it undoubtedly escaped the
notice of many who would otherwise
have been present, for Mrs. Conley's
days are always good.
The main part of the program was
treatise on the mental development
of the child, given by Mrs. w. S.
Packard. 1t was full of suggestions
and no doubt opened up new line of
thought to many. The discussion which
followed, bearing on the central
theme of Mrs. Packard's paper, "What
Is Your Attitude Toward Your Child ?"
was entered into by many of the moth
ers present.
Mrs. Rodney Hermon gave review
of Kipling's "Ba Ba Black Sheep"
reading extracts from the book show
ing the pernicious effect on the de-
ivelopment of a child's character whose
motives are constantly misunderstood
by his elders.
Miss Cairns of the High School
faculty, whose sweet tones always win
admiration, added much to the pleas
ure of the afternoon by her vocal Sc
lections, "On the Wings of Song," by
Mendelssohn, and "Slumber," by Need

PAVING APPROACHES
HAS BEEN POSTPONED

Stating that bond issue of $22,
600 for the proposed paving on East
Main street from the fair grounds to
the city limits would eventually mean
a confiscation of their property, Rex
Clark and +. E. Gould, non resident
owners of 100 acres along the portion
of Main street proposed to be paved,
last night through their attorney pre-
sented a written protest before the
city trustees, in which they stated that
q bond issue for that amount would
mean a taxation of approximately
$50 an acre.
Following the explanation of w. 7.
Bill and representatives of state high
way contractors the trustees post
poned the bitulithic paving project
under the proviso that Clark, Gould
and Bill would agree to grade and oil
& strip of Main street from the fair
grounds to the city limits, the oiing
TO cover a strip sixteen feet wide, with
the further stipulation that the work
must be guaranteed for a period of
one year and during that time must
be kept in condition by the three prop
crty owners. Paving on West Main
street will be considered at a meeting
some time in the future.
In an explanation offered by the at
torney representing Clark and Gould
il was stated that originally the de-
mand for paving the strip on the east
had been made when the land was
in the possession of Hazard and Gould.
Clark and Gould, he said, had owned
the land only short time and be-
cause of the fact that it was farm
land and not a subdivision, lots, when
the tract was opened later, would be
forced to bear the burden of the paw
ing assessment. He declared the paw
ing of this strip would retard rather
than increase home building activities
throughout the proposed paving dis
that q number of lots in that section
sold to citizens of this city already had
reverted to the company because Of
failure to keep up the payments tend
ed to support the statement of the at
torney.
Both agreed TO put in, under state
highway specifications, concrete base
road with three eighths-inch wear
ing surface, at their own expense,
which would eliminate the necessity of
/ bond issue by the city. The trus
tees refused to accept this propositions.
The bitulithic project will be aban-
doned for twelve months on condition
that the proposed strip is oiled and
kept in repair during that period, the
work to take place under the direction
of City Engineer Burke.

MUST MUZZLE DOGS
AVER THE TRUSTEES

Following the announcement in the
Press yesterday that rabies had de =
yeloped among dogs in this city, the
trustees last night took drastic meas
Iures to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. Today at a site on the fair
grounds a pound is being constructed
of galvanized sheet iron and the edict
has gone forth that both the license
land muzzling ordinances will be rig
idly enforced.
"Two hundred license tags have
been ordered from Los Angeles" said
Deputy City Marshal Tyson this
morning, "and they are expected to
arrive in a few days"
That dogs not bearing both the tag
and muzzle will be impounded was
the statement of Mayor Swanson this
morning, who declared that stray ca
mines would at once be disposed of bv
the city.
Failure to comply with either re-
guest is an infraction of the ordi-
nance" he said, "and owners of dogs
who fail to comply with it will be
forced to deal with the city before re-
covering impounded animals"
According to City Marshal McFad-
den, five days will probably elapse
tefore the ordinance is actively en-
forced, which will enable owners of
Gogs to equip the animals with muz-
zles and tags.
