NO RULES FOR
GRASS BURNING

Ely has no ordinance regulating the
burning of grass or brush within the
city limits, it was revealed by city Of
ficials this week.
Sunday afternoon a grass fire on
the south edge of the city threatened
several house and a pile of lumber un-
til it was brought under control by
the fire department. The fire, which
burned over an area about five acres
in size, started when burning grass on
a garden tract got out of control.
The city council at its last meeting
gave Fire Chief I. G. Cox authority
to issue burning permit, but it did not
make the securing of such permits
mandatory.
Ordinance No. Is, adopted in 1918,
makes it unlawful ito set on fire :.
any brush heap or other combustible
material so as to endanger the
of another or that Of the
city" It provides only for penalty and
not for regulation of grass or brush
burning.

1912 PRECINCT VOTE.
CONFUSION OVER
SIGNALS EVIDENT

Considerable confusion over the
meaning of the second blue warning
was in evidence here during the black
out test Friday night.
The warning, steady blast of the
sirens, indicated that enemy raiders"
were still in the area and that resi-
dence, business and street lights must
remain extinguished. Cars were per-
mitted to move using dimmed lights,
and pedestrians were allowed to re-
sumo activity.
The signal, which followed the ac-
tual raid warning, was interpreted by
some as indicating that house lights
could be turned on. A few air raid
wardens also turned on street lights.
Only at the all clear signal, which
follows the second blue warning, can
residence. business and street lights be
turned back on. -,

War Bonds VIII Bring Victory.

The house military affairs COM
mittee has discovered that there are
840,578 of draft age on the pay roll
of the nation. Secretary Ickes thinks
he has not asked for enough defer
ments and proposes to request the
committee for more although he has a
list of older people to select from.
Small businesses that have lost their
help through draft are not asking for
deferments but are using older help
and girls. Whether they would get
recognition from the final authority
for people necessary to their business,
is question. In fact it has been init
mated by the powers that be to close
down if you can't get along with what

Sale of Three Closed
Buildings is Studied
by School Officials
Voters of District Would
Haze to GiUe Approval
to Transaction.

The advisability of selling
the closed Pioneer, Winton
and White Iron school build
ings was discussed by the
school board Monday night at
its regular monthly meeting.
A study will be made to determine
the probability of using the build
ings again within a reasonable
length of time" and the board will
base its decision upon this informa-
tom
1t was pointed out that the severe
winters of this area would destroy the
floors and walls of the buildings, and
it was reported that the floors in the
Pioneer building were buckling.
The voters of the district would have
to approve the sale of the buildings
before the board could take action
This is required by state law.
The decline in enrolment, which has
been steady in the district for two
decades, motivated the boards action
in closing the schools several years
ago. The peak enrolment of 1850 in
all grades was recorded in 1922. For
the present term it is 1882.
The total enrolment of the Wash
ington and Lincoln buildings, which
house all elementary grades, is 708,
several hundred below the workable
average of 80 to 35 pupils for each of
the "a available rooms, according to
figures presented by Supt. Stanley
Adkins.
He declared that the school popula-
ton was stabilized.
A special meeting has been set for
Tuesday night at which an adjust
ment in the salaries of special teach
ers and non-teaching employees to
take care of the higher cost of living
will be considered. The results of the
district election that day will also be
canvassed.
When it was reported that adults
had been riding in contract school
buses, the superintendent was in
to inform drives that the
board was opposed to this practice.
The board also took action to stop
the facilities of the industrial building
from being employed for personal use.
The county auditors office inform
ed the district that $4,000 in tax rev.
enue, representing half the sum due
the district on the Pioneer property,
was being withheld pending the COM
pletion of litigation instituted by the
Oliver Iron Mining company. The
company has asked for district court
review of the valuation and taxes
levied against the property in 1912.
School Attorney Peter Moscatelli was
instructed to report at the next meet
ing what effect the action started by
the mining company has on the school
district.
The next school term was set to
start on Sept. z, the day following La
Dor Day.
j. N. Rautio was awarded the con-
tract for a new pitch and gravel roof
for the heating plant on the Memorial
school grounds on a bid of 1886.
The recreation department was CIV
en- permission to move the teeter-
totters, merry-go-rounds, slide and
bars at, the White Iron school to the
Shagawa lake beach and Whiteside
park.
