Holding its regular monthly meeting at the Buckeye Wednesday evening, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Marin county …
ENDORSE ROAD WORK
The group took formal recognition of a resolution passed this week by the board of supervisors and endorsed the proposal to construct a tunnel under Lombard street, San Francisco, to set as part of a freeway serving as a connecting link between the two bridges. Similarly, the meeting endorsed the move to have the state highway commission re-allocate funds for the improvement of the Sears-Black Point cut off roads, contending that accidents on the highway “are primarily caused by sharp curvature and steep grades . . . which impair the visibility of motorists, and also by sub-standard construction of the highway.”
Resists Police, Woman Lands In Padded Cell
The old saying, “Hell hath no fury like the wrath of an angry woman,” was again proven last Saturday night when a slight slip of a woman identifying herself as Maxine Mooney, San Francisco, engaged a detachment of the Sausalito police and only after considerable persuasion was she finally subdued. According to the report, an altercation was underway in front of a tavern on Bridgeway when the police arrived. Miss Mooney and her companion, Carl Levin, 31, attached to the dredge MacKenzie, were evidently the worse for wear from too much alcohol, with Miss Mooney engaged in a campaign of fighting, kicking and biting, according to police. After considerable effort, she was strapped hand and foot and taken into custody. Subsequently, because of her violence, she was transferred to the county jail where she was placed in a padded cell. Released the next day on $50 bail, she was ordered to appear before Judge Helmore later in the week for sentence.
