his master, Wally Aldrich, at Elmer Swanson's Cabins, as Aldrich
described how Teddy had wakened his son and him in time to get
a neighbor from a burning cabin. Teddy wasn't too sure about
the camera and after the picture was taken, came over and sniffed
to see what that was the photograpter was holding.

A petition was prdsented to in

THE PETITION was presented
by Glen Watson who had present-

he was presenting it on behalf of
Vern Howe, one of the property
owners, whohad instigated the
action.
Mrs. Mary Peterson, spokesman
for three women from the area,
asked What could, be done to keep
the LID from going .through until
they could settle a problem with
the contractor who had sold the
honses.
She said that according to the
contracts, the street improvement
was supposed to be included as

going on for a number of years
and that the Highway Department
had suggested it be remedied on
previous occasions.
Mayor Trawls said it was an
obvious problem, but, he did not

hurt business by cutting down on
its parking area.
He suggested that something
might be worked out with the
owners of the businesses so they

stalled without causing them a
hardship.
City Attorney John Ragan told
