Walks at 20c Running Foot It is announced that if the people and property owners of Helper are interested the city will lay asphalt sidewalk at a cost to the property owners of only 20 cents a running foot. The city will lay up to 10,000 feet. This extremely nominal cost, a fraction of the regular rate, is made possible by the utilization of CWA labor and the present low price of ma- terials.

MINING INDUSTRY Hard-Boile- d Probable Prosecution an extremely State Tax Commission, folks! THAT'S own and operate an automobile, truck or motorcycle you'd better have 1934 plates both fore and aft on your craft before next Thursday, March 1, or it's double fee, maybe jail, for you! That's the ultimatum from headquarters. No matter if you haven't been working and haven't even the price of a tank of gas to go after the plates, it makes no difference. There is no elasticity to the law this year as mere was last, when additional days of grace were granted due to depressed economic conditions Only about 10 or 12 thousand 1934 licenses had been issued up to a few days ago, and there are many thousands yet to be secured. March 1 is set as the deadline, and it looks like between 40 and 50 thousand motorists will have to crowd under the wire, for ordinarily 60,000 plates have been issued up to March 1 in previous years. No Special Consideration, Either "No moratorium will be granted, and no extra workers will be hired to handle the rush," said G. A. Critchlow, chairman of the Commission, so you'll have to take your turn, with the result you may expect your license plates some time this spring. In the meantime you'd better keep the old crate hidden away and off the thoroughfares. However, people of this district can get plates at the Carbon County Court House at Price providing they have the price. If you're caught operating your car with old plates attached on March 1 or thereafter, you will be subject not only to double license fee as punishment, but you will be subject to arrest and fine maybe the jailhouse for you! No Chances Taken on Kubbcr Checks And further, because check payments must be cleared through banks before plates are Issued, all checks should be sent in from five to eight days before the deadline. Also, no plates will be issued without a receipt showing payment of the personal property tax on the car, and presentation of your certificate of title. A $1 fee will be charged for replacing lost certificates of title, transferring or duplicating the ownership certificate. 20c Reduction Effective Soon on Coal Shippd From Carbon County to AH Points North hard-boile- d last-minu- te THOMAS GLENN OF CASTLE GATE DIED FROM INJURIES Thomas Glenn, a Castle Gate Journal's last issue, passed away miner, whose injury a week ago Thursday night of last week.

FIDO'S LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY 1- playground by eligible voters of Helper city. The question which is to be passed upon is whether or not the city should pass an ordinance making it compulsory for any party using electric motors to secure condensers for the motors used. This matter was discussed in the meeting of the city Council Wednesday night. The reason for the condensers is to insure better radio reception for local residents. Electric curMilton S.
