Commission Votes 2-1 For Extension of Store Windbws In a solit two against one vote, the city commission today authorized author-ized merchants to extend show windows 18 inches past their property lines on six business blocks where the practice has been in effect for many years. The problem came up "when City Engineer Thomas H. Latimer Jr. asked fOr a clarification of rules on the matter, pointing out that it has been going on in Provo Pro-vo on certain blocks for a good many years, estimated by some sources to be as long as half a century. Some additional merchants merch-ants want to all extend their windows, Mr. Latimer pointed out, and asked f or a ruling. The commission passed a motion, mo-tion, with Mayor Mark Anderson and Commissioner J. Earl Lewis voting in favor, and Commissioner B. D. Palfreyman voting against while' the motion allows extension exten-sion of display windows lfr inches onto city" property'on six business blocks, i provides the building proper tan not be extended past the line.

CONSOLIDATED HARDWARE CO. 255 WEST CENTER PROVO, UTAH Wider Street Plan Proposed A recommendation for the widening of two Provo streets for a distance of six and one half bocks each, has been made by Streets Commissioner B. D. Palfreyman Pal-freyman to the city commission. The commission has the recommendation recom-mendation under advisement. Because of increased traffic, but principally in view of anticipated business construction. Commis sioner Palfreyman would widen First North and . First South streets between First and Second East to Fifth West in each case. He proposes to accomplish the widening by eliminating the parking park-ing on each side of the streets between the gutter and the sidewalk, side-walk, bringing the new gutters to within 11 feet of the property prop-erty line. Schools (Continued from Page One) county will be lucky to have gas again by next winter. Robinson suggested that civic groups in the affected communities communi-ties request the striking miners be allowed by their union to produce pro-duce enough coal to keep the ovens ov-ens going and at least a small supply of gas in the mains. Provo kids, rejoicing over their impromptu spring vacation caused by the closing of schools from lack of gas heat, received somewhat some-what reluctantly today the news that "it will all have to be made up." ' Maeser students, who sat comfortably com-fortably but glumly in coal-heated rooms yesterday and today while all the other kids in town romped free, felt that maybe there is some justice after all, for they will complete their schoQlii on schedule. Superintendent J. C. Moffitt revealed that .schools must actually ac-tually be in session a minimum of 172 days in the year to be eligible for state school funds, Provo's planned schedule would have given 175 days attendance. With two days lost already, and at least tomorrow almost certain to be lost, the district is in a position of being compelled to make up the lost time. Superintendent Moffitt said that while it is a matter for the board of education to definitely decide, the closed schools will probably be required to fill out their scheduled 175 days. Whether it will be done on Saturdays, or extra days tacked onto the end of the school year, will be decided by the board. the following statement into the minutes: A "I am obliged to vote against this motion, because I do not care to be put into the position ox en couraging the encroachment upon the sidewalks which, in my opinion, may constitute a public nuisance, and then at some future time possibly be called upon to favor and support action to abate the very nuisance which support of thisnnotlon would encourage." A committee of nine merchants in the affected area, called upon to make a report on the matter to the commission, reported in favor of allowing other merch ants to extend show windows 18 inches.
