NEGOTIATIONS between committees
representing the Henderson City
Council and the Vance Board OF
County, commissioners for the tur-
nishjng by the city of fire protection
IN suburban areas remained deadlock
Cd this afternoon, following meeting
of the county commissioners shorty
before noon Each side made a pro-
iosal. and each had been rejected.
After the county group 1T sum
mer had failed to effect an agreement
in response to oVertureS from Mayor
Henry t. Powell, the mayor issued
an order to the fire department TO
stop at the city limits and to make
no response to calls outside the city
limits. saving that insurance cover
age would not apply for either per
son or property in damages that
might result outside the city limits.
Later the county commissioners
asked the city to furnish fire protec-
ton to the suburban areas. The com
missioners appointed a committee
consisting of two of their number,
E. L. Fleming and Henry w. Hight,
and Chairman S. 3. Rogers later was
added. They made a proposal to the
committee representing the city, and
consisting of Alderman M. Y. Cooper
and T. W. Ellis, the proposal having
been approved Wednesday OF last
week by the entire board at a spe-
cial meeting. This was rejected by
the city's committee At further
meeting today, the county board re-
jected the city committees offer and
stood by its original proposal
In its first proposal, the county
group offered to pay the city $50 for
every fire attended by the fire de-
partment outside the city limits, re-
ducing this amount by half to S25
should the call turn out to be false

provided, however, that the county
would assume responsibility for sup
porting institutions which we be-
lieve should be supported by tie
county, inasmuch as citizens of the
county receive identically the same
benefits of these institutions that
any citizen of the city receives. In
your proposal you brought up the
question Of taxing people for some
thing they can derive no benefit and
it is on this point that we make our
proposal, that you tax equally every
citizen for the benefits that they
would receive from the Institutions
below.
q. At the present time the city is
paying to the Leslie Perry Memorial
Library the sum of $4,000 for the
support Of the library, which in the
opinion Of this committee is Won
derful institution for the advance
ment of the minds of the children
and the people of this county. How
ever the benefits of the library are
shared equally by the people Of the
county of Vance as we'll as the peo-
pie Of Henderson and, therefore, at
the present time the citizens of the
city of Henderson are paying taxes
twice for the support of this library.
AS we understand the county con-
tributes to the library at the present
as we'll as the city. Therefore, when
taxpayer of the city of Henderson
pays his county taxes, he is paying
for the support of the library and
when he pays his city taxes, he is
paying for the support Of the library.
Inasmuch as its benefits and facili-
ties are shared equally we feel that
the taxes for this property should be
paid equally by the taxpayers Of
town and county as we'll and for
this reason we feel it is the duty Of
the county commissioners to sup
port in full and maintain the Leslie
Perry Memorial Library
-. There are, at the present time
located in this county, an armory
housing three military units which
are composed of citizens of Vance
county and there is no distinction
between a citizen of the city Of
Henderson and citizen Of the coun-
ty Of Vance, when it comes to be-
longing to the military company. The
only time that the military company
has been called on for protection of
the citizens of the county, to the
knowledge of this committee, has
been outside the city limits and not
inside of the city limits of Hender-
son. The benefits derived from hav-
ing the units located in this county
are shared equally by every citizen
Of Vance county and we see no rea-
son why the city should be called
on to support the military units
which provide for each and every
citizen Of the county, whether he be
living in the city or not.
Representing the city, we would
like to make this proposal to your
committee in view Of the above
stated facts: that we would recon-
mend to the city that they give what
fire protection they are able tc
render outside the city Of Hender-
son, provided that the county com
missioners will go on record AND
agree to support in the future, the
Leslie Perry Memorial Library AND
the military companies now beine
maintained in the county of Vance
Representing the taxpayers OF
the civ, this is the only proposal
that we feel justified in recommend
ing"

Now mon, we know when
perfume smells good, and
when lipstick tastes good, and
when girls look good, but we
aren't supposed to know too
much about that sugar and

Turn your entire Christmas
list over to Ruby, Evelyn and
Elsie, for they seem to know
everything about what the
ladies want, and they'll de- !.

However, if you'd rather
peek about, yourself, look at
that Elizabeth Arden Daytime

how about that gorgeous white
satin I.entheric Evening Bag
and the Bow Knot Evening

 Weather, Wet Field

With two dog teams on the way from Tulsequah, the five men of the Northern Airways party isolated in the Sloko River country, wait patiently for removal from their predicament which has endured for six days.
 The weather at Tulsequah is zero- zero with continued warm temper atures preventing take off for Lon Cope, Marine Airways pilot, who has hopefully awaited an opportun- ity to fly to the stranded group since last Tuesday when he landed on the slush field at the Polaris-Ta Mine after completing his only successful iaunt into the scene and from which he flew two of the victims, Fred Kane and Nick Mijavovich. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, when Alex Holden of Marine Airways last contacted station CY13 at Tulse- | quah temperature. was 34 above zero.
 Throughout the capricious ele- ments have contributed nothing but obstacles to the rescue mission, Wea- ther in the vicinity of the accident is usually cold at this season of the year but unreasonable rains and temperatures have reduced all pos sible land and take-off sites to im- paSsable bogs.
 Inability of planes to operate led to the enlistment of two dog teams i to traverse the 30 miles to the acci- dent scene with food and supplies for the stranded men. The teams are under expert mushers, a man nam ed Phil Scott, head dog musher for the Polaris-Taku Mine dog teams at Tulsequah, and man named Williams, veteran dog team driver of the district. If planes have not succeeded in contracting the party by the time the sleds appear on the
