DINNER LAW
GHOST TO STALK
BEFORE COUNCIL

Remember the "dimmer" ordi-
nance?
Its ghost will walk again tonight
at council meeting.
The committee on ordinances
will submit report to the effect
that the ordinance Is a perfectly
good one and that It should now
be taken down off the shelf and
reasonably enforced" by the po-
lice department.
The ordinance committee after
over large collection of dim
mer ordinances secured from all parts
of the country has reached the con-
clusion that it is not necessary to
specify just how lamps shall be dim
med.
Chief Goodwin does not believe it
will be necessary to make arrests to
enforce the dinIning of auto lights,
except in extreme cases. BY the pro-
cess of having officers stop motorists
who have neglected to dim theirlights
and notifying them to observe the or
dinance, the chief believes that the de.
sired results can be obtained as mo-
torists are really anxious to comply
with the provisions of the measure.
A favorable report will be submitted
on the ordinance which gives the city
the authority to assess benefited
property owners part of the cost OF
making macadam streets to which a
bituminous binder is to be applied.
