WdS IOuSi IlldL w do LllC comment of Commissioner May Carter after trying five cases in- -volving moose hunting violations. Three of the cases were for shoot ing too close to the road; one ease was for shooting across the railroad tracks; and the most des- -picable was for shooting COW and a calf moose from the hi-Way then abandoning. That, to me, is Wanton destruction. Fines to- tailed $1,175.00; a total of 120 sus- pended days was imposed. Some guns were confiscated by the ap- pretending game agents.

der the following conditions:
(a) If filing a joint return (the
tact that she had no income, or
more than $500 does not preclude

Editor The Citizen:
The announcement that the City is considering the
purchase of the road machine which recommended
by City Manager Lang time back leads one to be-
eve that they considering using type of second
airy the lightly travelled streets The machine
will be tried out and if satisfactory will be pur-
chased. considerable saving be made between a
secondary type of pavement which will be satisfactory
for lightly travelled streets and the expensive Concrete
Asphalt type pavement which under consideration
for all streets There may be little dust for few days
from the secondary type pavement but when consider
alton is given to the difference between the cost Of the
types of pavement I think put up with it.
Was glad also to learn that the proposition from
the of Clifford and Cooper Associates for survey
of the streets at charge of 900 plus 81 period
of three covering contract for paving other
work covered by their survey rejected this would
have cost the City total of $4,000 the original
paving program carried out at a cost of approx
matey S75e,000.
