A sliding hill for children was
being prepared Friday on Ave-
nue. E betwesn Mandan and

H. Atkinson, city auditor.

effort to keep children from
sliding on streets which have
heavy vehicular traffic, where
the danger of mishaps is high.
Avenue E between Mandan and

lively light traffic and the hill
has a desirable slope for sliding.
Stop signs will be placed at in
tersections and motorists are
urged to cross the avenue with
extraordinary care, Atkinson said
Parents are urged to cooperate
with the commission in its eff
forts to reduce the accident
hazard by instructing their chill
dren to slide on no streets out

Pilot Finds Law
Is BeWildering

Another example OF the enig-
mas often appearing on the
statute books cropped out in
Mandan Thursday.
It happened when a magis-
trate reluctantly fined E. N.
Garfield of Williston $40 and
costs for hunting coyotes from
an airplane without license.
"But doesn't every county in
the state encourage the EXTERN
ination of coyotes" the defend
ant protested. Don't they 60 a
step further and offer bounty
for each animal killed."
"Quite true," the magistrate
said sadly, "but the law says
YOU must get permission to hunt
them from the air"
The defendant paid his fine,
the minimum under the law, and
was released.
