North Approach
To Bridge Fixed
State Highway Department Has
Resurfaced Roadway Com
pleting Work

It's complete job now-that new
bridge that spans the gap on Main
Street where Sank River pushes it's
way along. Early this week work
ers with the State Highway De-
partment were busily engaged In
finishing and resurfacing the north
approach roadway to the concrete
structure. The job marked the last
uncompleted link of the project.
The III foot structure, begun in
July, 1885, was opened for traffic
in December Of that year. It was
built at a cost Of $77.3S1, the bid of
Okes Construction Company. In
1886 the south approach was paved
and a new concrete dam replaced
the wooden structure at the foot of
the lake. Last spring Identification
which included the planting OF 500
trees on the terrains surrounding
the bridge, was commenced. This
weeks work on the north approach
fixes a patch Of road that had laid
open, dusty, and full of "thank-you-
maams" for the entire summer.

hibits to be held in connection
with Good Will Days, Tuesday

tries will be accepted until two
o'clock that afternoon. Judging
will be completed late Tuesday
afternoon. All exhibits must be
left in the building until after

ners must secure their prizes
from the business place men,
toned in the class in which they
enter. None of the prizes for
this event will be given to WIN
ners by committee members.

Two Big Good Will Days October Sc
Ordinance No. 200
Found Ineffective
Case Against Vernon VOgel Dis.
missed MOnday-State No Such
Ordinance In City

Vernon Vogel was arrested on a
warrant signed by four garagemen
under Ordinance 200, which per-
tains to the licensing of second
hand consignment cars, without
having an agency for new cars.
This warrant was served Friday
and hearing in the case was held
in municipal court Monday.
Upon investigation by the de-
PENDANTS attorney the case was
dismissed, owing to the fact that
and was not in effect. Under the
motion for dismissal Vernon was
discharged from arrest. The motion
was in part as follows: Vernon Vo-
gel was discharged from arrest and
custody and action was dismissed
for reason that there is no ordin-
ance of the City of Sank Centre
prohibiting him or any other per.
son from engaging in the business
of buying, selling, trading and bar
gaining for second hand automo-
biles within the City, or from Of
fering for sale second hand auto
mobiles without having first OBJ
tanned a license so to do, whether
he is a dealer in new automobiles
or not, and for reason there Is no
ordinance of the City Of Sank Cen
tire designated as Chapter 209.
The license in this ordinance was
set at 500 per month or $500 per
year. The publication of Chapter
200 was correct, but failure to sign
the ordinance made it ineffective.

Sentiment of
Voters FavOrs
Property Sale
School Board Refused Per-
mission To Buy Sites
In Block 4
A HERALD STATEMENT
Have Not Withheld Facts
When Available-Make
No Apology

-Four hundred and thirty-one peo-
pie voted in the school election
held Saturday, which had for it's
purpose the sale of the Districts
Main Street property and the pur-
chase Of property by the Board in
Block 4. These two propositions
were voted upon separately, on the
ballot.
The first proposition which ask
ed for the permission of the voters
to allow the Board to sell the Dis.
trict's Main Street property carried
by a vote of 261 for and 1855
against; a majority of Sc votes. The
second proposition asking permits
sion from the voters for the Board
to buy property in Block 4 was de-
feated by a vote of 100 for to 226
against; majority of SO votes.
These propositions were present
ed to the people some time ago and
both were defeated.
Our Statement
The attack made against the Her
aid in a mimeographed bulletin,
peddled in the city Friday night,
delved into personalities rather
lively after we were told personal
tiles should not be a part Of the
election. First, let us say, the pub
fishers of the Herald hold no
grudge; second, the charges made
were too sinister and too grave to
let pass.
When available, the Herald, I'M
der the present management, has
always endeavored to give a true
and correct account Of any event
appearing in its columns. We have
not, or will not, for political ex-
pediency, publish what we know to
be half truths. We publish a news
paper for the people of this COM
munity, and we know that news,
true and correct, is an asset to our
business. We withhold no facts, If
available. Ringing upon the fore
going statement we would have
broken faith with our readers, our
home town and our community had
we suppressed them.
The Herald offers no apology for
its stand in last weeks issue, nor
do we, after reading the Attorney
Generals letter, believe that we
were wrong. If the letter had been
available to the publishers of the
Herald, we would have printed it
in last weeks issue. We believe the
people were entitled to read every
word of it-not just one line.
We shall not go into personalit-
les for that has never been pol
lev of The Herald. but we have
every reason to believe the bulletin
in question was not signed by all of
the members of the Board Of Edu-
cation. We do, however, know that
It was not signed as an act OF the
board for it did not bear the sigma
ture: 1.-THE Board of Education OF
the Town of Sank Centre" The
board is composed Of honorable
men, therefore the attack came as
a surprise. However. in nation Of
free men, opposition given honest
ly and fairly, should not thus be
stifled. Yet we were to be taken to
task as the unruly lad for having
the "affrontry" or "s,1ts' to publish
something the people should know.
Too sinister are the statements
made in the paraeraphs relating to
the unfairness Of the Sank Centre
Herald and those pertaining to the

Sank Centre
Won From
Morris High
Game - Tomorrow, Friday
Afternoon-With Foley
AS Opponents

They took the Road Back-those
lads carrying the standard for the
high school and under the tutelage
Of Coaches Harvey and Toftness.
Darkest of the dark horses they
rose up in surprising upset, stie-
led the efforts of Morris stellar
fullback, completely trampled the
efforts of the Morris offensive, and
in steady push launched a count
err offensive that put them one goal
in front to win 6 to o.
Rising from defeat, injuries, and
bad case Of down in the dumps
after the initial games singing
defeat, Harvey's footballers cap
tanned by field general Ray Walk
err, crushed a Morris offensive
that had been planned to go to
the fast moving Bergher, who
starred when Morris whipped Glen
wood IL to O.
A team only little less alert
than Sank Centres outfit Friday
would have gone down in a maze of
fast running plays. Morris utilized
the herman type of play stressing
laterals, and the fact that the line
and the secondary moved in with
alacrity stopped those plays before
they were under way.
After a turn of the heat had fail
ed for the locals in the second
quarter when they were only inch
es from the goal, they were even
more determined to score. In a
march that opened with the 3rd
quarter kickoff they marched 10
yards for the single touchdown.
Sank Centres kickoff became a
free ball the locals recovered. On
the first play fullback Rivette
thrust his frame through for a
couple yards. Ethun was stopped,
but five yard penalty against
Morris for offside gave the locals a
first down. Rivette through a
wide open hole. tore his way to the
rs yard line. Ethun skirted the end
for several more, and in the last
