MAYBE Old Grouch: "Can you tell me why they couldn't put night crews on repairing busy streets? Here's Market shut off two or three days between Second and Front.

THREE ATHLETIC COMMISSIONS GET THEIR PAY CHECKS The State Treasury Department I today mailed the pay checks for the i last half of June to the three mem Jers of the State Athletic Commis sission despite the fact that they ceased to hold office on May 28.

Davis, ex officio head of the State Athletic Commission, and i that they were approved by the Auditor General's Department. They also said that today they would ask the Attorney General for an opinion as to whether they should recall the checks, continue to issue them in the event no commission is appointed by the next pay day or for any other advice applicable to the situation.

So far they have received no official notice of the change. The Game Commission and the Pish Commission are not so af fected as they receive no salaries.
