George r. O'Daniei of 500 East

The new curfew ordinance, chang

provisions from Is to le, passed the
council last evening without dis

that no boy or girl under sixteen
years shall loaf or loiter on the
streets OF Pendleton, more than 100
feet from their home, after the hour
OF 9 o'clock unless accompanied by
a parent, guardian or other adult per-

the highest, but as it was made by

bid was by the Warren Construction
Co, merely to protect itself.
1t is probable that at the next
meeting of the council an ordinance
requiring the muzzling Of all dogs
will be presented Attention was
called by Councilman Penland to the
fact that at present the city has no
legal right to kill unmuzzled dogs and
he asserted that the dangers from
rabies has not yet disappeared.
The council voted to enforce the
street vender ordinance, taking this
action in deciding TO refuse the ap-
plication Of F. J. Miller for permis-
sior to operate his popcorn wagon
on Main street As result he will
probably be denied the privilege of
operating 1t at its present location on
Alta street unless he pays fee OF
three dollars a day.
