DEMANDS CONSMKKATION OF j
CLAIM FOJt $15,255.5(5.1
Mrs. Ltlllnn Wlckorsham, ndmlnls
tratrlx of tho estate of Maxwell D.
WlckerBhiun, lias made a demand on
tho county commlsloners for a con
sideration of a claim sho lias filed
against the county for ?15,255.5G as
damages for the death of her hus
band, who was killed In an auto ac
cident near Fremont slough during the
fall of 1917. The claimant recites that
though sho filed tho claim September
27, 1917, and repeated requests have
been made for an audit and consider
ation of the claim, no action has been
taken. The claimant now demands
that the commissioners forthwith con
sider, audit, pass upon and make a
fndlng upon said claim as by statute
in such cases mndo and provided.
It is evident that tho claimant de
.mands action on the claim so that if
an award made by the commissioners
Is unsatisfactory an action can be
started In court. Wilcox & Halllgan
represent tho claimant.
Frclpht Traffic Drops.
During the past week or ton days
there has been a tremendous decrease
in freight traffic over the Union Paci
fic, and as a result ton freight crows
have been pulled off on the Second
district and the some number on tho
Third. This is tho heaviest decrease
in business the road has experienced
in several years. Whether traffic con
ditions will Improve much during the
summer Is problematical.

" At the meeting of tho city council
Tuesday- ovonlng petitions wore pre
sented for two paving districts; ono
on oast Fourth, the othor on west
Fourth. Tho east Fourth district ox
tends from tho enst lino of tho city
park west to Pino and includes the
two blocks on Pine from Fourth to
Sixth, a total of twolvo blocks. The
west Fourth district extends from Lo
cust to Washington avenue, a distance
of ten blocks.
Tho petitions wore accented by tho
city council and tho next move will be
the publication for thirty days of a no
tice authorizing the formation of the
district, and then those who have a
protest to file against forming tho dis
trict can do so. If flfty-ono per cent of
tho property owners of either of the
districts sign a protest, the formation
f tho district will bo killed, and the
paving will not of course, bo done.
A majority of tho proporty owners of
tho district have tho right to say what
material may be used and the council
will designate tho width of tho paved
street. There seems to bo a division
of opinion ns to tho width of a paved
residential street, some contending for
forty feet, others thirty-six, while a
few favor tho full fifty-four feet. Per
sonally we think thirty-six Is amnle.
thus allowing a nine-foot extension of
tho parking between the outer side
walk lino and the curbing. This Is
equivalent to setting tho residence
nine feet further back from the street.
If a thirty-six foot pavement Is laid
of brick with cement base tho same
as Is used in the business district
tho cost would bo nbont $375 for each
slxty-slx foot lot; to Which would need
be added tho cost of putting In new
curbing and filling in with dirt tho ex
tension of tho parking on the outside
of the walk.

Teeth Are Really Health Preservers.
If your teeth are in perfect condition, the chances
are your health is good. Just as surely if your
teeth are in poor condition, you cannot expect
g ealth and teeth go hand in hand,
are sympathetic with each other. Then if your
teeth need looking after, you will naturally con
fine your choice of dentists to the best, the same
as you would in choosing a physician or surgeon

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
There are more than !t,()00,000 Foi'd ears in dally use In tho country.
Tills is a little better than half of all the motor cars In use in tho country.
There is a very potent ami profitable reason in this why you should buy
Ford ears for your business and for your personal use. It is u demonstrated
fact that Ford cars nnvo In every line oi Human desire so
far as motor cars are concerned, best satisfied their own
ers with tho service riven. They must be safe; they
must be conmfortuhlc; they must be always reliable; they
must be convenient and they must be economical, or they
wouldn't bo so tremendously popular with all classes of
people. The big Ford Factory has not yet reached nor
mal production, but the Avar is over, and it is getting back
as fast as possible. We are getting a few cars in right
along, and we Mill do tho best possible to give you early delivery.
Itunnbout, $500; Touring Car, $525; Coupe, $U50; Sedan, $775; Truck
Chassis, $550. These prices are f. o. b. Detroit.
Leave your order with ns, and be assured of two things: First, the earliest
possible delivery; Second, an after service that has the strongest commenda
tion and endorsement of tho Ford Motor Company as being a reliable, satis
factory and economical service.
