Town Council Notes

This Sunday has been named open
house day for the citizens of the Park
to visit and inspect the new quarters
of the town officials. The building will
be open at three o'clock on Sunday af-
ternoon. Mickey's Band will play and
there will be refreshments.
A new ordinance was passed at the
Council meeting last Thursday night
relating to the shooting at or break
ing windows. Last winter and also at
the beginning of this fall several sum-
mer residents had the windows in their
residences shattered by shots fired at
them by BIB guns. The fine as set in
the ordinance for violation of the law
is from $40 to 500 for each offense.
Also taken up at this meeting was
the matter of the State Sanitary Code.
Several complaints have been received
regarding this law. 1t was decided by
Council that it is a matter for the
State health authorities to investigate
and not for the local officials. Those
making the complaints were advised to
get in touch with the health officers.
A New Board To Function
Mountain Lake Park now has a
local community board, appointed by
the mayor with the sanction of the
council members to take up before
Council and the mayor any matters
one may be interested in. This is fine
idea. So many people do not care to
appear themselves with a grievance
or suggestion to better the commun-
ity, so the matters will be handled by
the community board, which is COM
posed of Mrs. Jennie Richardson, John
Bayless and d. R. Fleming.
Thursday, November 7, the women
of the local Methodist church will
serve their annual turkey supper in
the basement of the church. Serving
begins at $50 and the price will be
65 cents per plate.
Among the criticisms which come to
us on this column was one from a
member in the county regarding the
lack of news from Oak Lodge No. 8,
|. o. 0. F. From now on we hope to be
able to give this reader lodge notes.
Joe Welch has just been put in charge
of the publicity for No. and has
promised to see that we get anything
of interest. On November 9th there
will be a gathering here to be known
as Past Grand Night At this time J g..
y
will be present. Invitations have been
issued to the lodges at Terra Alta and
Aurora and other lodges.
