After investigating the buildings some days ago the board of health decided they were a menace to the health of the community and should be demolished. Only a remnant of this once populous community survives and the few remaining chinks still clinging to their ancient places of abode were notified to move to other quarters within five days. The city was illuminated in old-time fashion Saturday night, permission having been given to use electric lights for window displays and signs on Saturday and Sunday nights only.

Gov't Buys Over 1 Billion Eggs In Price Support Sacramento, (WNS)—To support prices at 90 per cent of parity from January 1, 1949, to July 15, the federal government found it necessary to acquire 1,940,000,000 eggs, enough for 13 eggs per person in the United States, the U.S. Production Marketing Administration disclosed today. This withdrawal of an equivalent 5,390,000 cases of eggs kept American egg prices from dropping through the price floor. However, the eggs do not become a total loss, because Uncle Sam manages to keep his longer than most housewives. He converts them dried and dehydrated varieties. During the 1948 program the government piled up 28,440,982 pounds of dried whole eggs or approximately 7 eggs per person. It was unable to dispose of 12,395-134 pounds of these (mainly thro' export) and was left holding the bag with 16,045,848 pounds. This year the government is not doing as well as last, having disposed of only 6,159,652 pounds, leaving over 47 million pounds surplus. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.—Proverbs 9.
