IMPROVISED “TRAIN” | USED TO HAUL SNOW ATTRACTS ATTENTION| Interest of pedestrians in the business district was greatly in- trigued yesterday and today by the | improvised “train” with which the| city workers are hauling accumu- | lated snow from Front Street to the Channel where it is dumped. Towed by a tractor, the train consists of three box-car-Tike sleds| capable of holding a large amount | of snow. With this efficient sys- tem the high driffs have rapidly disappeared and the streets xm-i proved both in appearance and| for pedestrian and motor car traf- fic. The same system was used in Ju- neau several years ago and was de- cided upon by Mayor I. Goldstein and Olaf Torkelson as the best means of dealing with the heavy| SNOw. - e The 70-piece band of Texas| Technological college will wear uni- forms made from cloth woven in the school’'s own mills. — .- NOTICE Finding it necessary to liquidate on coal and feed accounts, on and after January 2nd, 1934, coal and feed will be sold for cash only. —adv. D. B. FEMMER, DEMONSTRATION NEW SCANDAL FACES FRANCE IN BOND SALE 'Pawnshop Fails and Offic- ial Escapes After Mulcting Public PARIS, Jan. 5— Parliamentary circles predicted today that Pre- mier Chautemp’s Cabinet might be overthirown when Parliament airs the forty million franc scandals of the Bayonne Pawnshop. Oppositionists commented on the sale of alleged bogus bonds for hundreds of millions of francs and pointed out that Serge Stavisky, of- ficial of the pawnshop, who had a police record. already faced other charges. He hobnobbed with mem- bers of the Government. These cir- cumstances, oppositionists declare, indicate laxness, to say the least. The pawnshop collapsed and Stavisky fled. Despite the alleged big scale of operations, the police said they found assets of only 14 francs, less than $1, in the search of his Paris office.
