AUGUST 5L. iimwiTn in nnnir nr SUPERVISORS HOLD OJIGAIIIZAMI FOID LARGEST BELLS CELEBRATIOil ATTEf IDS SHOV OPBIiliG ANSEID BALL CLUB NINE VI BANKERS' BALL TEAM FALLS BEFORE ONSLAUGHT OF SAN ANSELMO One of the greatest triumphs in the history of the San Anselmo Ball Club was scored last Sunday when the local men won by a score of five to two from the picked all-star team of the American Bankers Institute at Tamalpais Center. Only one error was made by the San Anselmo nine, but the record of the Bankers was nearly as good, since their team stumbled only twice in the wonderful form which distinguished the performance of the men of both teams.

Pitcher for the opposing team was Roy Corhan, former captain of the Seals. Four hits were scored against him. "Dink" Schumacher pitching for San Anselmo went him one better and brought home a three-hit1 game. The trophy won by the San Anselmo Base Ball Club will be placed on display in the First Bank of San Anselmo as soon as it has been inscribed. It is a Jarge silver cup formerly -on display in the windows of Alberts, Inc.

11 COB N. S. G. W. TO ATTEND SAN FRANCISCO CELEBRATION 7-' KUVMIU 15 iUtfit Ur IMPORTANT CEREfllY COMMUNITY HOUSE AT NOVATO OPENED TUESDAY EVENING Novato opened its beautiful new Community House Tuesday evening with nearly 1000 guests.

It has been spoken of as a wonderful structure, commodious and perfect, and one that would do justice to a city of 50,000 people. A large number of people from San Rafael were present at the meeting, and Mayor D. D. Bowman was one oz tne speakers of the evening. Other speakers were Robert Trumbull, who also acted as master of ceremonies; the Reverend Charles Christensen, the Reverend B.

L. Brit-tiaa. of the Two Rocks, and Pc it-master Dreese of Petaluma. Mrs. R.

Trumbull, favorite contralto, sang delightfully several selections and the program was further brightened by the-i performances of Roscoe Evans and Schiller. Dancing and refreshments followed the program. By many who attended this pleasant meeting it was considered a sure proof of the slogan, "Novato Knows How." biers, senoritas, Dons, cow punchers, miners and just ordinary "guys." A great many of this contingent will walk, as many have not ridden a horse or even a camel for so long that they do not feel inclined to make exhibitions of themselves on the hurricane deck of even the most mild-mannered, easy-gaited relic of the days when the horse was monarch of Jhe highway. Any Marin county people desirous of fining, the Marin county delegation, as caballeros," or or plebian marchers are asked to get in touch as soon as possible with box 542, San Rafael, or phone S. R.

262, between 12 and 1 p. m. An old-fashioned hitching rail will be provided by the parade committee in San Francisco, for this delegation. "Jazz" suits and ladies riding breeches are barred. Chairman Charles Redding of the local Native Sons committee calls particular attention to- the fact that decorated automobiles will not be considered as "floats" and will be relegated to a division by themselves, and that all floats must be symbolical or typical of California history of the early days.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL TO CONTINUE STREET IMPROVEMENT The San Rafael City Council has decided that the continuation of the extensive work of street improvement which has been. going on in San Rafael is in accordance with the wishes of the people, and a call for a $100 000 bond issue to take care of the work will therefore be introduced. At the same meeting a 61-cent reduction in the tax rate over last year was made. The' rate now stands for 11923-24 at $1.57. An ordinance was passed prohibiting pool rooms and billiard parlors from permitting card, dice, or gambling games on their premises.

WESSELL AND HARTWELL ARE AFTER RIOTOUS HOOD LUMS H. J. Wessell and Ben Hartwell, county traffic officers and deputy sheriffs who are so largely responsible for reliving the Lagunitas territory from the antics of weekend hoodlums, have been assigned the job of giving Mill Valley the same relief. Both Hartwell and Wessell say that the undesirable element that visits Marin county can easily be discouraged if real effort is made to show them that they are unwelcome. $100 REWARD OFFERED BY MRS.

ADJOURNED (UG COUNTY BOARD TO APPOINT SPEED OFFICERS BEFORE MONDAY Recommendations by the Supervis- ors for county speed officers must be submitted to the State before Monday, and with this in view the Supervisors mast confer before that time. At the adjourned meeting held by the board last Monday it was all but definitely decided foum, officers for reg ular duty and two extras for Sun- uay ana nouaays wouia oe requirea 1 1 1 a for efficient service. The names of officers must 'submitted at the same time as the recommendation for the number of officers is made. Superintendent of Schools James Davidson met the Supervisors to pre sent data relevant to the school tax, the exact amount for which must be set by midnight Tuesday. It is thought that $100 per unit, and 86 cents per hundred of assessed value will be sufficient.

Besides this there will bo a special tax. PROPOSED COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENT PROVING A VITAL QUESTION Great interest has been displayed in the talk of a new County Court House. It is believed that consider able opposition will be voiced to the plea of the supervisors that taes must be kept down. That a new Court House of extensive improve ments to the present one would necessitate an added amount to the present rate seems to be the belief of some who have shown' interest in the matter. There seems to be no question to the fact that the County could well have a newer and more, imposing structure for its governmental, offices, but it has been pointed out that the present extensive road improvements are a considerable expense to the taxpayers' arid that it would be wise and in with the supervisors' policy of economy to delay building expendi-tures until some relief can be found to the present tax rate.

It his been brought forward by some opponents to the proposed improvements that should a long time bond issue be issued that the interest is7 very apt to exceed the principal That the supervisors have a problem to settle that is of great interest to the people of all the county is realized by those that support the proposed structure as well as those that are sceptical about it. The "Marin" will conduct an open forum regarding the guestion.

MARIN NATIVES TO WEAR OLD TIME COSTUMES ADMISSION DAY With appropriate remarks Walter E. Grady, president of ML Tamalpais Parlor No. 64, N.

S. G. presented Senior Post president, Wm. Crane, with a beautiful emblematic ring as a token of the parlor's appreciation for faithful services rendered the lor during his term of office. A The parlor has, decided to adopt costumes to be worn in the Admission Day Pony Express celebration on September 10 that will be in keeping with the spirit of the occasion.

There is no special uniform required, the selection of the costume being left to the discretion of the wearer. Tne majority oz tne mem bers of the Marin county parlors will appear in old-time miners' costumes; blue overalls, rough, shirt and slouch hat. Some, however, will adopt the fastidiou! dress of the old-time gamblers, or of the Spanish dandies of that period. It is the wish of the committee in charge of the parade in San Francisco to make it as picturesque as possible and to symbolize the spirit of the pioneer as well as to recall as many as possible of the historic incidents of the past. The Marin county parlors will en ter the "Bridge the Bay" float in the parade as a symbol of the dreams of the pioneers.

More than half a century ago the bridiging of the bay was seriously discussed by these dauntless spirits, to whom no obstacle seemed unsurmountable. The Marin county parlors will also have the old stage coach and four. Lewis Hughes has volunteered his services as driver. "To recall the early days," said Hughes, who according to report is as 'bald as a billiard '111 let my hair grow.

A big delegation of men and women from Marin and Sonoma counties will assemble at the Court House at 7 a. September 10, and join with the Marin county natives.

This is purely an informal affair and anyone wishing to go with the Marin natives is welcome. The party will dress in costumes similar to those adopted by Mt. Tamalpais Parlor. Some will be mounted; any sort of a "critter" horse, donkey or mule will be permitted, and any old-fashioned buggy or conveyance of any description not motorized. Mayor Bowman of San Rafael has signified his intention, so it is, reported, of going in an old "one-horse shay" with a stove pipe hat and a Prince Albert coat and other appurtenances peculiar to the old-time circuit riding lawyers.

Among the number are to be gam-.
