be Issued Here

Motorists in the Arvada vicinity
will not be compelled to 20 to Gold
en- to purchase their 1924 automobile

ment made this week by County
Clerk Claude E. White.
Mr.. White plans to spend the week
Of Dec. "a to Dec. 20 in Arvada 1T
the different garages, and licenses
will be made out each day excepting
Christmas.
Attention il called to the need of
applicants to knowledge that taxes
have been paid on the car for which
they wish license, for the year 1928
in some county Of the state. An af-
fidavit has been printed on the face
Of the license applications. and must
be sworn to II IA tax receipt for the
past years taxes is not produced.
This departure from the usual
routine way Of issuing licenses is a
matter of courtesy and nccommodn
ton on the part of Mr.. White, and he
urges that people in this district get
their licenses during the week he is
here rather thnn wait until after the
first Of the year.

TOWN BOARD TO
PASS ON SEWER
SPECIALLY CALLED MEETING
OF CITY DADS WILL ACCEPT
SEWER SYSTEM AND PRE-.
SCRIBE METHODS OF CON.
NECS TO BE MADE.

A special meeting Of the Arvada
board Of trustees has been called to
meet Thursday night to accept the
new sanitary sewer system and to
work out new ordinance prescrib-
ing the methods and manner Of at
taching to the new system.
. The new sanitary sewer is COM
pleted with the exception Of few
minor details and Contractor
Schwartz is anxious to have the sys-
tenn accepted in order that he may
begin the six months care and test
ing provided for in his contract.
One of the most intricate problems
in connection with the sewer is the
ordinance regulating the tapping and
connecting with the waste system.
State health laws govern largely in
this matter and the council has been
engaged for several weeks wording a
new ordinance in harmony with the
state code and local conditions.

c. c. BANQUET
IS BIG SUCCESS
A. H. s. FOOTBALL SQUAD BAN.
QUETED BY COMMUNITY AND
WOMEN'S CLUBS - NOMINAL.
ING COMMITTEE APPOINTED
TO SELECT 1924 OFFICERS.

A good representation of business
people were present Monday night
at the December meeting of the Ar
vada Community club in the base
ment Of the Arvada Presbyterian
church.
The meeting opened with supper
served by the Arvada Women's club,
and those present are still wondering
how the ladies could. serve such q
meal for sixty cents without going
bankrupt.
The Arvada high school football
squad, Coach Vanderhoof and Stu
dent Manager McFadden were guests
of the Community and Women's s
club, and were the target for many
good things-both to eat and to hear.
The boys showed their appreciation
by giving some of their yells.
Roscoe Hill, of. East Denver high
school, was the main speaker of the
evening, and he confined his remarks
largely to the boys of football team.
According to Mr.. Hill, the eyes of
all sport lovers are turned this way,
both for the local teams prowess and
for the reputation they have gained
for clean-cut hard playing.
Mr.. Hill urged the continuation of
the concentration, fight, knowledge
and pluck on the gridiron, into the
later life of the boys, comparing the
game Of life to the game of football,
in which victory, if cleanly won, is
justly comparable to the gridiron
wins.
Discussion of the evening centered
on good roads, ranging from raking
condemnation of the temporary
bridge over Clear Creek to a dis
cussion Of ways and means to con-
meet Arvada's paving to the concrete
road, a distance of less than half 4
mile.
Judge S. W. Johhson spoke on the
better road proposition, making gen.
eral outlines of the attack he deemed
best to obtain federal aid for the
new paving.
Music led by J. j. Webber was
interspersed throughout the evening.
President Newt A. Olson appointed
a nominating committee to meet and
draft a set of officers to serve for
the ensuing year. J. F. White was
appointed to head the committee,
which is to report at the next regular
meeting.

gency patch on the broken part of the
lower right wing, cleaned out the gas
line thoroughly and flew to Love Field,
the plane handling well in the air. Upon.
investigation it was found that only
about one gallon of gas was in the
emergency tank, this in spite Of the fact
that the pilot had seen gas coming out,
a few drops at a time, from the over
flow pipe just before taking of. The
above was probably due to the air in
the top tank becaming warm after the
plane was rolled out of the hanger
These few drops probably condensed in
the overflow pipe.
The pilot in question made some in
teresting comments on his predicament
"I forgot my map and thought I knew
the country we'll enough without one,
but find that one should never travel
without a map. ! was very careless
about being sure Of my direction. A
pilot should never become careless on
cross-country flying about maintaining
his dead reckoning. The hardest time Of
the day to find ones way about Is the
period just after sunset, when the sky
is still bright but the earth 10 in dark
ness.
4. ..feWhen a pilot thinks that 1t may be
possible that he will be in the air after
rightfalf,' he should carry a small pocket
fiasfllight to assist him in reading his
instrument board, in case same Is nee
essary, and for the purpose Of reading
his map. The visibility below 1000 feet
was very poor. To get away from the
force Of q head wind to gain time was
dying ut an altitude of about 200 feet
and could see nothing Of the country"
