NO CARNIVAL
ON STREETS
SAYS MAYOR

Mayor J. w. Gallaher announced
Thursday that the movement on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce to
ask the City Council for the use Of
the street for a carnival this fall, was
a mistake as the City could not grant
the privilege. Mr.. GaIlaher stated
that it was against the law and for
that reason the council could not take
action.
The Mayor further stated that the
only use of the streets that was being
granted was to any merchant who
might have someone who would sell
their goods from a platform in front
of the merchants store on some spe-
cial occasion.
He stated that the City was refus-
ing to allow peddlers of any descrip-
ton to sell gods on the streets in the
business section, as they have been
allowed to do in the past.

THE settlement Of. the indemnity

that it win not do the recipients more

that what the Allies want is the right
to buy raw materials and food in

pay the bill. This is about the only
way Germany can repair the damage
she has done. This plan is possible
and no doubt could be worked out
So far nothing has been done along
