Safes Looted At
c. L. Dees Store
AT Voncleuve

The c. L. Dees store and post
office at Vancleave was robbed
during the early hours of Mon
day with the thieves breaking
into three safes and escaping
with a small amount of cash and
some merchandise, Deputy Sher-
iff Leo Byrd reported this week.
The thieves gained entrance to
the building by cutting through
the floor. They then rifled the
three safes in the building, two
belonging to the store and one to
the post office.
They took $14 in cash from one
of the safes and S29.73 from the
post office safe. In addition they
made off with 20 cartons of cigar
cites and a quantity of gum and
cigars. Deputy Byrd. who was as
sisted in the investigation by
Raymond Broadus of the Pasea-
goula police department, said
the work looked to be that of pro-
fessional safebreakers.
The Dees store was robbed on
another occasion some time ago.

hended IN Texas.

The extension OF electric serv-
ice to members within 5000 feet
of existing lines will be handled
by the Associations own crews.
Three crews began this work IL
months ago, Mr.. Dudley said. and
since that time have wiped out
large backlog of orders and are
now in a position to extend serv-
ice 70 members usually within
week after ight-of-way ease
ments have been cleared.
The Association is now serving

City Upheld By
Circuit Court In
Traffic Suit

Circuit Judge L. c. Corban up
held the right of the City of Pas
cagoula to enforce the terms of
a l947 traffic ordinance as the
result of court action growing out
of the suspension by the city of
a drivers permit to Robert S.
Byrd of Escatawpa for violation
of a section of the ordinance re-
quiring the operation of bdses
along regularly scheduled streets
on a regular time schedule to be
posted with the city clerk.
The suit was argued before
Judge Corban Saturday morning
by Harold w. Gautier, attorney
for Mr.. Byrd, and Karl Wiesen-
burg. city attorney, and again
Wednesday afternoon. Judge Cor
bans ruling was handed down
following the argument Wednes-
day afternoon.
1t is possible that the decision
OF the circuit court will be ap-
pealed to the state Supreme Court.
Mr.. Byrd has been transport
ing workers to the International
Paper Company mill at Moss
Point since the latter part of De-
cember. He was granted a driv-
er's permit by the city on March
l6 after he had posted the neces-
sary bond and insurance. Th e
permit was suspended the same
day, however, for violation of
the terms of the city's 1947 traf-
fic ordinance.
Attorneys for Mr.. Byrd, Merle
F. Palmer and Mr.. Gautier. con-
tended in their argument that
the city'S action was arbitrary and
unreasonable in that it was i'm
possible for Mr.. Byrd to comply
with certain sections of the or
dinance.
The city contended that the or
dinance had been designed to
protect the general public, and
that the city has the right to reg
ulate traffic as provided by terms
o. TIE ordinance - the general
public interest and safety.
