Harris Resigns as Mayor of Roseburg Continued From Page 1 the Council In 1929. He was elected mayor In 1942. succeed ing A. J. Young, who resigned irom o'lice. Charles W. Wharton, president of the City Council, has been acting as mayor in the absence or Harris from Citv Council meetings. Wharton this morn ing said he himself did not wish to be mayor. A successor to Harris will be chosen at the next meeting of the Council, January 21. Mean while, Wharton will continue as acting mayor. Wharton, like Harris, favors the Idea of a city manager, he said, and felt there is loo much for individual Council members to do at the present time. "The city needs a full;time manager," he said. Wharton's brother, is mayor of I. rants Pass. Action on the city street sign problem was promised last night by the Council to a delegation of the Roseburg Lions Club. Also last night the Council heard al most 20 property owners who sought relief from the poor con ditions that have developed on their streets, and prooosals bv Mrs. Viola C. Blessing, citv health officer, that food handlers In lo cal restaurants be Inspected for communicable diseases. The Lions Club committee of fered several suegestlons for placing signs. Indicating names of streets, at Intersections throuehout the citv. Such siens do not exist now. excent In a few nlaces where curb painted signs have not worn away. Sian Suagestiont Offered Councilman W. J. Mess Intro duced the Lions to the Council by remarking that he had been startled by recent Lions Club ad vertising censuring the Council for its delay in erecting street signs. Mess said that he and Councilman Percy Croft had of fered, in jest, a $5 award for the best suggestion the Lions could give him. Among suggestions offered last night, were that concrete shafts be erected, as in Oregon City; that wooden ooles be used; or that metal pipes be used. The Lions were challenged to make a survey of the number of signs needed, and the Council last night promised action on its own part. Sanitary Code Urged I Mrs. Blessing, who as city dairv inspector acts also as citv health officer, urged passage and enforcement of standard sanitary codes as set by the state, for in spection of food handlers in local restaurants. Because of the over lapping authority of city, state, and county health officers, the matter was referred to the Coun cil's health committee. Appointment of Orvill C. John as temporary driver for the Fire Department was approved. Fire Protection Agreed On A proposal for a temporary contract with the citv bv the Roseburg Rural Fire Protection District, for fire protection serv ice at rates set by the Council, was accepted.

Green, Jr., Sundale Village resident, who last month sought relief from the Council for a drainace condition in that area, submitted a resolution which the Council shelved, pro posing a contract with a sanitary district which he said was In pw ess of formation bv Sundale Vil lage residents, for the purpose of disposal of waste water throueh a citv sewage connection. Council members said they would rather see that area come within the citv limits. The Council approved a sue pestion bv Councilman W. J. Mess that F. B.
