 wi1limantfc's public service men ap- peared almost en masse at the com mon council meeting Monday evening and succeeded in getting the council to repeal the previously passed ordi- nance regulating the jitney fares in the city. Joseph Peck acted as spokesman for the public service men and delivered a long dissertation on the high cost of living as affecting the automobile business. MT. Peek be- came very vehement in his efforts to drive home some of his points.
 Mayor c. A. Gates called the meet ing to order at S.39. All the spectators' seats were filled and there were about half dozen standing in the doorway, unable to get into the room. John Collins was called and said that he had been sent by City Engineer Mitch ell to explain the matter of the Ives street sidewalk He said that a cut of from two to two and a half feet was necessary over distance of 200 feet. Applications for sidewalks were in but it was impossible to build them on the street IS 1t was with it's grade from Is to IT per cent. The matter was re- ferred to the street committee with power. It is estimated that the job will cost from five to seven hundred dollars
 MT. Peck then took the floor in be- half of the public service men. He said in part: Your Honor and Gentle men: I am surprised that a group of Intelligent and honorable men such as you, elected to do justice to one and all. should deliberately try to put a bunch of men out of business. The JitnL~i in WillimaTtic started as you know about four years ago. At that time we could carry passengers for 25 cents. But times have changed. The price of tires. gas. oil. and the cars has gone up. Our charges are not ex- o-bitant now. We are running a taxi not a iitney service. That is. we take 8 fare and deliver him at his own door.

On Both Side,
 of the Continent 52,OOO Miles
 Per Tire

As far apart as the distance that separates them are the road con- ditions in central Cali fornia and Massachu- setts.
 And yet, with all the diversity of r 0 a d changes and stiff grades Goodrich De Luxe Tires on trucks in these states have annassed the incredible mileage of 52, ,OOO miles per tire and are. still serving.
 In Massachusetts this splendid record was made on a 61z-ton coal truck operated h. the Lajoie Coal Co.,, of Lowell. The very name of the commodity haul ed and the size of the truck gives evidence of the bruising character of the service.
 Out west, in Oak land, Cal, these Good rich De Luxe Tires mastered equally se- were conditions. The truck was a 5-ton unit, the operator, the Shell Gasoline Conpny.
 Such magnificent ser vi C C achievements under radically differ ent conditions, testify vividly to the mighty durability and econo- my of these De Luxe Tires. The very ap- parent possibilities in these tires should, for economy's sake, induce you to try them.

VOiland & Engel Buy X. and l..
of s. Block.
Pay Record Price for Kansas
Avenue Property.
WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
Kirkpatrick Denies Organiza-
ton Plans To Leave Kansas.
Building Was Once Used for a
City Hall.
WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS

The biggest Kansas avenue property
deal in history was eliminated today
when Fred Voiland and Oscar F. Ems ell
announced the purchase of the Securi-
ty block, Seventh and the Avenue, for
$15O,000. The property has been
| owned for the last twenty years by
the knights and Ladies of Security.
A number of business men at the
Chamber Of Commerce today at noon
asserted that in their opinion the sale
of the building was due to the s.ttl-
tude taken by Attorney General hop
kirs in refusing to allow the Knights
and Ladies of Security to consolidate
with the Fraternal Aid Union and
take over the insurance of the latter
organization. Some went SO far as to
predict that the sale of the Kansas
avenue property was the first step OF
the organization towards moving
headquarters to another part of the
state.
However, J. NJ Kirkpatrick, presi-
dent of the Knights ana Ladies of Sc
| curity, stated this afternoon that the
merger deal which Hopkins has Eefd
up had nothing to do with the sale of
the property and he denied that there
is any movement on foot looking to a
| removal of headquarters to another
part of the state.
Shows Increase in Values.
The purchase price paid for this
! property shows the constantly IN
creasing value of property on Kansas
| avenue in recent years When the
Kresge company bought its site oc-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, a
well known banker made the prcdic-
ton that the $4,000 paid for this
Location added several million dollars
| to the valuation of the business blocks
on Kansas avenue. Subsequent deals
bear out his theory. A drug stare
property near Eighth and Kansas ave-
nue. sold for $4,000 a front foot. Felix
& Griggs brought a 25-foot lot a
few weeks ago for their clothing
