Better Lighting Asked A delegation of the Roseburg Rotary Club appeared to urge the improvement of the city's street lighting system. The delegation, composed of the club's commun ity service committee, included Lawrence D. Roberts, Roland West. H. H. "Hod" Turner. Calvin H. Baird and J. V. Iong, whtr acted as spokesman. The group called attention to "the very poor lighting In our main district at the present time, which we believe to be wasteful and quite inadequate from sever al standpoints." Reading from a letter presented to the council. Long continued: "The broken posts, that we un derstand are next to impossible to replace, create electrical nazaras in wet weatner, besides leaving great gaps between lights, causing the loss of lighting to our many -business building fronts, the dark corners that cre ate traffic and pedestrian hazards are also conducive to burglary and other crimes. "We especially wish to direct your attention to Stephens Street. We are of the opinion that s well lighted street leading into our city makes a lasting impres sion on those people who travel :Ouf highways. We believe that it might be instrumental in sec uring new businesses and new people In our community, and we are sure you will agree that It would be a wonderful improve ment to our community."

Pine St. The matter was referred to the street committee. IJexter Rice, attorney for the Californlna-Oregon Power Co., asked that the council give the "most expeditious" action to the matter of vacation of Railroad Alley between E. 1st and E. 2nd Sts. The first and second readings of an ordinance providing for the alley, vacation were given. The first and second readings were given to an ordinance pro viding for a revised franchise for the Roseburg Transit bus lines, for the reason that the eom- fianv plans to change Its rdutes n the city. The council discussed the pro posed Improvements of S. Jack son St., which have bees pending, but for lack of an engineers es timate of cost, took no action. Because Leonard and Slate, con tractors for the E. 2nd Ave. S. widening program, apparently will be unable to complete the project this year, the city mana ger was authorized to arrange with county officials for the oil ing of the thoroughfare at a "rea sonable cost." At the suggestion of Council man George E. West, the mayor authorized the Police Commission to study the operations of the Roseburg Garbage Disposal Co., with a view toward improving service.
