Discuss PinbalI
Machines; Costs
OF Resurfacing

London's City Council gave fin
al reading and adoption to an or
dinance revising the pay schedule
and numbers of employees in the
department of Public Safety. They
also gave second reading to an or
dinance to repeal the old bicycle
license law in the city.
Under the new ordinance the
Fire chief will get a salary of S315
per month and five firemen will
get starting salaries of ITS with
increases to $3.50, $3.50 and to
$500 after three years service. The
volunteer firenen will get S1.50
for the first hour on duty and
S1.OO for each additional hour.
In the police department, the
chief will get $3.50 per month and
the day d e S k sergeant will get
S310 monthly. Patrolnen win get
starting salaries of S275 with in
creases to $3.50. 1920 and $500 at
the end of three years service. The
parking meter man is to get $3.50
monthly and a special policeman
is to get S175 per month.
In other action council discussed
a proposal to buy a street sweep
er but turned the matter to COM
mittee for further study They al
so discussed possible legislation to
regulate pinbal machines in the
city after citizens had mentioned
that some school children are
spending their lunch money on pin
ball games.
Council discussed the probabil-
ity of resurfacing East First
Street, and came TO no decision
on financing the repairs. The op-
inion that part of the costs be
placed on property owners was op-
posed openly by some council
members. Their contention was
that the city is obligated to main
tain streets after accepting the
dedications. The opposing council
men expressed the idea that resi-
dents along the streets to be re-
paired should not be charged with
resurfacing costs. 40 decision was
reached on the matter.
No efforts were advanced to
take action on the still pending
problem of making the fire de-
partment meet the recommenda-
tons of the Ohio Inspection Bur-
eau which has announced plans
for fire insurance costs to Lon
don residents.

ECONOMY
Town council out west

SLOW DELIVERY

The Madison Press Company
received a check from the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
pany Thursday which took two
weeks to arrive from Columbus.
Clarence Barck, manager OF
the Ardrey Used Car lot on
South Main St, found a letter
containing the check near the
railroad. The postmark on the
letter showed that it had been
mailed from Columbus on
March 8. It is believed that the
letter was one of hundreds scat
tered along the railroad tracks
when a mail sack was broken
when a train ran over it.

sons. The Lord Chamber
lain's Office has. at last, put
it in writing and it goes like
this:
Firstly. guilty parties in
divorces cannot be invited to
functions held by the Queen
within her royal palaces. The
royal yacht Britannia would
come in this category. But
the innocent parties in di-
vorces can be invited. Out
side royal palaces, these rules
do not necessarily apply. It
is entirely at the discretion
Of the hosts or organizers of
outside functions which the
Queen is attending whether
guilty parties in divorces are
invited"
Since there are no royal
palaces of the Queen in
Washington. few toes should
be stubbed. However, the
Channel Islands, taxless
haven of many of the peer
age. many Of whom are di-
vorced, was suddenly barer
of their number just before
her majeSty's visit. No one
wanted to be embarrassed by
hosts and organizers des-
cretion or lack thereof.
