irom o'lice.

A successor to Harris will be
chosen at the next meeting of
the Council, January 21. Mean
while, Wharton will continue as

Sian Suagestiont Offered
Councilman W. J. Mess Intro

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

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

a citv sewage connection. Council
members said they would rather
see that area come within the
citv limits.
