When you go into the Springs Park
on Saturday to see the High School
May Day exercises you are going to
be surprised! right at the start in the
condition of the Park. Underbrush

and the entire tract swept with a
large ibroom. It surely lodks inviting.
Thirty-two holes have been dug for
the new light poles on either side of
the creek, and when the new lights
are placed with their hanging1 chan-deliers
on either side of this beautiful
stream it is going to be an improve-ment
worth mentioning. A large
flower garden is also underway.
* * *
We welcome letters from our sub-scribers
at any time if they desire to
express themselves through the col-umns
of the RECORD. But it must
always be remembered that your let-ter
must be signed. The signature
need! not be printed', but we must
know "from whom" as a matter of
good faith.
* * *
Here is one came in last week, and
contains something to think about,
too. What do you think?
To the Ediitor of the "Record"
May I ask space in your valuable
paper to express imy views and pro-test
against the amended Vehicle
Code which requires mechanical in-spection
andl approval before license
tags are issued next year. This will
cost car owners a tremendous bill as
an Official Inspection Station might
insist on unnecessary and oftentimes
uncalled for repairs. Torn upholstery
or a new floor cloth and a thousand
and one other minor things which in
the mind of the. official inspector
might have to be replaced .before he-would'
"Pass the Car." The present
taxes on automobiles are gradually
putting them in the "Luxury Class"
a r d depriving the. necessary use of
the car for business. Accidents caus-ed
by mechanical defects are less than
3% per cent. This affects every own-er
of automobiles, trucks, drays, trac-tors,
etc. Hope every motorist will
vigorously protest.
TAXPAYER
