Veteran Auctioneer
Cries $500 Sales

81 can cry sales all day and end
up with my voice as good as
ever" said Pete Peters, veteran
Worthington auctioneer last week
as he prepared to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary of his entry
into auctioneering. He insists that
a good voice is not the most i'm
portant asset of an auctioneer.
What counts in the long run, he
said, is judgment, the ability to
appraise the true value of pro-
perry and to know the buyers so
as to get the best possible results.
During his 80 years as an auc-
tioneer Peters has cried $500
sales, having worked along that
line of business without Interrupt
ton since 1908. In his first year
he said he cried two sales, but
after that business picked up. One
year he. cried 143 sales. He has
never missed a sale because of
illness. He sanctions very few
postponements believing that good
buyers will brave almost any
kind of weather. He terms the
people in the vicinity of Worth
ington as ''good' bidders.

Relief Bills Will Be
Printed in WatOnwan

Watonwan county commission
ers at their regular meeting last
week voted to publish expendit-
ures for direct relief as in the
past. In accordance with a new
state ruling it seemed for a while
that this information might be
withheld from the taxpayers. The
commissioners deemed it to the
best interest to the public that
such information be made known
by publication each month in the
newspapers of the county as here
tofore.
When the commissioners held
their meeting Tuesday of last
week taxpayers and business men
from st. James, Butterfield and
Madeia appeared and openly ex-
pressed their sentiments on the
matter.

ministration for consideration,
and official announcement will
be forthcoming in a day or two,
The washington Times learned ex.
elusively today.
The plans call for mass slum
clearance, and construction Of a
housing project that will care for
those in the very lowest income
brackets, those earning from $40O
to $1,100 a year.
In Engineers' Hands
John Ihlder, chief Of Washing
tons Alley Dwelling Authority
sent the plans to Nathan, Straus
head of the Housing Administers
ton, for consideration and ap
proval.
Engineers and the legal staff Of
the Housing Administration are
now considering the plans, and
will give their opinions to Admin
tstrator Straus within the next day
or two.
It was understood that the
plans call for a rental rate oi
from $5te se a room q month.
Some time ago Ihlder sent q
plan for a $l5,00O,0O0 low cosI
housing unit here, with rents
averaging 91o a room month.
It was his plan that by having
this price. some rooms at a much
lower rate could be included. anc
that thus three.fourths Of the
occupants would carry the othel
fourth Of the tenants.
Rate Called Too High
This plan was returned to Ihldel
on the ground that the $40 rate
was too high for low-cost housing
plan. Ihlder's experts then drew
up the new plans with the lowel
rate and they were sent to MI
Straus and it is believed they may
be acceptable.

Colonel McCoach after only few

Van Duzer Opposed
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer was another who voiced op.
position to the parking ban, point

While Commissioner McCoach
struck at night parking as zone Of

t..is was discounted by the vet
eran Commissioner Hazen, who
said:
Traffic is light at night, and
I do not consider parking to
be particularly dangerous. IN
fact, If we are to carry out that
line Of reasoning, we would have
to ban parking in the day as
we'll"
IS Years Too Late
Warning that If such ban were
to be invoked, it would result IN
profiteering, Commissioner Hazen
said:
Mark my words! If this ever

This movement comes IS or
20 years too late. People have
come to consider that they have
vested right for liberal park

garage facilities.

buildings should be required to
have garage space.

certainly is not enough at the
