May File Explosion Damage
Claims Here UuntiI Dec. 5

December has been set as the last
day on which claims can be filed with
the Ordnance Gillespie Claims Board.
and as many claims are still remain
ing to be reported, 1t is necessary that
they be filed as soon as possible.
After December claims can be
rendered only in special cases. for
which arrangements must be made 10
advance with the board. After the
board ceases to sit in this city and sur
rounding country, claim losses can
only be placed in line for considera-
tion through the medium of the Court
of Claims. The procedure before
this is very slow and expensive.
AS only five days remain for the fl
ing of the claims. people of this city
and vicinity, who may have put off
the filing of the property damages for
some reason or other are urged to file
their claims at once as only In this
way is 1t possible to be sure Of having
their claims come to the atteltion 6f
congress when 1t takes the matter up
and the report of the board is made.

They also passed on first reading
an ordinance affectig the wholesalers

The board has but passed these on
the first reading and they will come
up again on Tuesday night at the reg
ular meeting, when the ordinance
may be changed to read for periods OF

the matter carefully and have been
advised by City Attorney Leo COLDER
ger that they can make the ordinances
read from one month to twelve
months and they have learned that
other cities In this vicinity have gone
into the matter and are now drawing
up ordinances to protect the liquor
