Self A Surprise

1t wasn't a joke it was just
one of those things that prove
what habit can do. Carl Yed-
licka, who has been happily mar
ried for So years, is a long time
employee in the office Of Clerk
of Courts Leonard Fuerst. One
of his duties is filing out summons
for divorce. The other day he
was called upon to fill in such a
blank for Carl .-.......... p"
Mr.. Yedlicka's first name is Carl
and he wrote Carl Yedlicka-just
out Of habit.
The error went through the
sherrif's office and in due time
arrived at the Yedlicka home,
33304 Sixth ave. Imagine h e
clerks surprise when he read he
had summoned himself for a di-
vorce! Back to the court went
the form. Out went a corrected
one.

City yConfers
On Parking
Meter Areas

Of the four bids received for
resurface treatment on some 80
streets that of Ajax Petroleum Co.
for $26,685 was accepted. This
item includes a new driveway to
the city incinerator.
Of the seven bids received for
building the 2250 foot long relief
sewer on Elm ave, the $4,000
bid Of Angelo Mario was accepted
This expenditure is being made
from the balance of $4,000 in the
city's bond fund voted for per-
manent improvements. The work
is expected to be done in the late
summer.
Walter Sutter, commissioner.
asked what the city was doing or
planning to do about the chuck
holes in the streets. He was told
by Manager Carran that this re-
pair work would start as soon as
the weather is favorable. "Cold
weather does not assure a salts
factory job" said the city manager.
Mr.. Sutter then asked the city
policy relative to sidewalks which
are under water after every rain,
and snow. He mentioned walk
on Hayden ave as an example.
To this query City Finance Di-
rector G. T. Apthorp replied that
side walk grades are fixed by
ordinance and if this particular
walk is below grade, it must be
raised. The city has already be-
gun its annual spring sidewalk
check, listing all spots that need
attention. Repairs are then done
by the city at the property own
er's expense, or by the property
owner himself, as he prefers. The
majority of the repairs are given
over to the city, and paid for
promptly, said Mr.. Apthorp. Un-
paid repairs are applied to the
tax bill.
