NJ c. Wilson, who drafted the reso-
luton, declared that If permission
were granted for operation of COM

area Of South Dakota avenue it would
not only mean that local vehicles Of
the type would crowd an already
crowded thoroughfare, but would open
a path for the heavy interstate traffic
to operate all night and Sundays"
Pertaining to the Eighteenth street
route, Fred T. Devine pointed out that
on that street there are two elemen-
tary schools and one high school. the

Despite a recession in private building, the bus- ness outlook the Pacific Coast continues bright.

 There was decline in retail trade, but the bank finds that was of seasonal proportions while of the movement of goods showed little con- certed change. Private building construction de- creased both in May and June while public construc- tion increased Curtailment of private building is generally attributed to rise in prices of building ma terals John Dunn, former Juneau resident now liv- ing in Pasadena, told the Chamber of Commerce here last week that private building in Southern Cali forna had almost stopped due to the high cost of materials

Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not compel"

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1937
 According to astrology this is not an important day in planetary di- rection. It is primarily a time to weigh future policies and to make important plans.
 Uranus is in a place believed to impart poise and fairness in con- sidering human problems. Preju- dices and misjudgment should be less prevalent than it has been.
 The planetary government today directs men and women toward wise policies and gives them cour- age to face facts regarding per- sonal and rational affairs.
 Scholars who survey world trends now will agree upon certain fore casts in which the history soon to be made will include dire peril to many nations.
 While there may be in the Unit ed States many opposing opinions regarding conditions affecting trade and industry the solidarity of the nation is to be wasted in way that proves the love of country. Women will benefit under this rule of the stars if they devote at tention to the finer phases of home life. They are to be blamed more than ever for the increase in juv- chile crime and changes in moral standards. Reform movements that encourage parents to assure better training for boys and girls will null tiply before the end of the year, it is forecast.
 This is a lucky day for prepar- ing for autumn needs. Canning of fruits and vegetables, sewing and house repairing are well directed.
 Persona whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected expenses which may in clude costly journeys. Incomes should increase and business ex- pand
 Children born on this day prob ably will be diplomatic, charming in personality and accordingly in telligent. Subjects of this sign of Leo usually reach the heights of fame.
