By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, October "a
A 24-pound steel projectile. which
was shot from the deck of the
wrecked freighter Coos Bay here
yesterday went wild when the line
to which 1t had been attached
broke. The metal screeched it's way
over Lincoln Park, sideswiped a
residence, tore hole in lawn and
finally came to stop in an alley a
mile from the scene of the wreck.
No one was injured. The projec-
tile got plenty of advertising. as the
shore was lined with Sunday
crowds watching the rescue of the
crew. The line was shot from the
ship to set up breeches buoy.
The Coos Bay, which ran onto
the rocks a few feet from shore
Saturday night, was gradually
pounding to pieces. The crew of
80 did not decide to abandon ship
until hope of relocating faded.

Parking Law
Now Effective
Cars Park Parallel With Curb
- Day Limit Two
Hours
G M 8 HOURS

Pleasantville's new parking
ordinance, which was passed on
third and final reading at the last
meeting of Council, and has been
approved by Mayor Charles E.
Jackson, is now effective.
1t prohibits parking in the bust
ness section of the city other than
parallel with the curb in contrast
with the old ruling, which allowed
parking at the As degree angle.
The primary purpose of the new
ordinance is to eliminate trouble
and confusion with regards to
parking in the business section
during the summer months, and
other busy times of the year. There
will be less confusion. Councilman
hope, for drivers, who will have
more room to- operate their
machines along Main street and
Washington avenue.
Besides the provision as regards
to parking, the new ordinance
fixes new parking periods. and
regulates the loading and unload
ing of trucks.
Parking is limited to the bay
side of the Shore road between
nine in the morning and six O'Clock
in the afternoon to two hours.
Three hours is the time limit from
six o'clock in the afternoon until
nine at night. The area included
is between Decatur and Pleasant
avenues.
The same parking provisions
prevail on Washington avenue be-
tween First street and Madison
avenue, Cars may only be parked
on the southwestly side of the
street for the same parking hours
as are designated for parking on
Main street.
Trucks may not load or unload
or the northwesterly side of Main
street only between the hours OF
ten o'clock in the forenoon and
twelve O'Clock midnight. Council
men hope that this measure viii
make less the chances for accident
in that section Of the city between
Decatur and Pleasant avenues
Trucks have halted traffic there,
by forming a one way street when
they parked to load or unload.

forest fires which swept the county.

Raymond Krewson, who has charge

a large majority of the fires vera
started by automobile parties
which built fires for cooking pur-
poses without a proper permit, and
failed to put them out, with re-
suits that were disastrous. He has
declared that no one caught build
ing a fire without a permit in the
woods will be released until they
have suffered the full laws
penalty this year.
Thousands of dollars of damage
was done in the country last year
by fires which alarmed the entirS
countryside, and kept the FIR
Wardens and their assistants busy
fighting for many days in the
spring.
