School Board Asks Bond Issue of $895,000 (Continued from Page One) would be used to pay off the bonds. The six-mill levy for the pres ent fiscal year, based on the 1S48 49 assessed valuation of $9,92.3.610, will bring roughly $59,000. Increased assessments would in crease the amount of yearly reve nue under the tax. The valuation has increased more than $3,000, , 000 in two vears. In the 1946-47 fiscal year the valuation was $6,. 870,775. In 1947-48 it was $8,258,- 530, or an average Increase of more than $1,500,000 annually, said Elliott. Additional increases would materially lessen the num ber of years needed in which to pay off the bond issue, If It is ap proved by the voters. Mora Rooms Neaded The proposed building program calls for an additional 22 class rooms at Senior High School, a Registered Willamette Valley Bred Romneys from Imported rams.

This addition would care for an estimated 1,000 stu dents. There are at present 628, and this number Is expected to climb to 650 by the end of this year. There is at present a need for 12 additional class rooms at the school, Elliott said. The addi tion, tentatively proposed, would be an "L" on the north and east sides, to connect with the present building. Eight additional rooms are projected for Fullerton School. While Fullerton was not de signed for convenient expansion, the addition would be made to conform with the present struc ture as much as possible, and would be built as economically as possible, said Elliott. An additional 13 rooms would be added to Riverside. This school Is designed for easv ex pansion, and the work could be started almost Immediately, so that additional classroom facili ties would be available by next fall, he said. Edenbower School would be expanded to include four addi tional rooms. At Benson School an assembly and gymnasium are proposed to be built at the cor ner of Commercial and East Third streets on property owned by the district, directly across the street from Benson. Rose School equipment would be in creased and facilities improved. The Importance of Inaugurat ing a building program at this time was cited In the fact that each school is greatly overcrowd ed, and practically every room accommodates more than 30 children. The enrollment has In creased 250 to 300 each of the last three years, and the present enrollment stands at roughly 2500 students.

Morton said today there was every indication that Miss Kline had been criminally attacked be fore she was killed. Five Slain, 2 Wounded In Negro Apartment Battle KANSAS CITY.

Palm fronds were beginning to be blown from trees and the breakage of foliage was discern ible In some parts of the city. ' Many stores were closed for the day In Miami. Persons forced to come out fought against stiff winds. The Red Cross reported fMO persons spent last night in Mi ami's 59 shelters which were thrown open yesterday. Hurricane warnings fluttered along the East Coast as far north as Melbourne, and storm warn ings extended to Daytona Beach. On the West Coast of the Penin sula, hurricane flagu flew to Fort Myers and storm warnings to Tarpon Springs. Areas Alerted, Schools Closed The rich Everglades "Salad Bowl" area where the nation's w inter crop of snap beans, celery and other vetgetables are grown also was in danger. Hurricane warnings were hoisted there. Disaster units were on the Job In the lower part of the penin sula. Schools were closed In Dade (Miami) and Broward (Fort Lauderdale) counties. Red Cross chapters In communities along Lake Okeechobee where hun dreds were killed In the big hur- rlrane of 11)26, were alerted. West Palm Beach which felt the brunt of last September's great storm also was prepared. At the Island city of Key West, the Navy helped speed storm preparations.

UPl Miami was under wraps today, Its people Indoors, its buildings boarded up as ominously increas ing gales whistled down almost deserted streets. The ocean was churned to milk shake hue and dashing, churning breakers washed the famed gold en sands where millions of visi tors have basked in the winter sun. Palm trees flung their fronds wildly into the air. Occasionally a frond or a cocoanut broke loose and whisked away. The cocoanuts bounced along like footballs out of bounds. Tides began to pile up and lap ped over the top of seawalls. All traffic lights were removed from Miami beach streets but they weren't needed. Only a few cars and taxicabs dashed about. Some drivers appeared wild-eyed as they hurried along with lum ber protruding from their autos, apparently for belated boarding up- A fire broke out in a night club, the BalU as winds threw palm trees and waves into a frenzy. For once people were too busy with other matters to watch the blaze. Firemen had the fire to themselves. The rising tempest brought special problems for builders of the hundreds of homes and the dozen or more hotels and other structures going up. Lumber was lashed down, wooden scaffolding reinforced, and long guylines sought to steady construction elevators. Workers remained home or took down the last signboards and lavish advertising signs. Life In the usually bustling metropolitan area was at a stand still. Even funerals scheduled for today were postponed. Schools closed, social events and club meetings canceled. Hurricane warnings flapped in the wind. Douglas Timber Offers Last Pulp Plant Chance (Continued from Page One) of South Dakota, which "can't hold a candle to the Western Ore gon country." He told his listeners he "cer tainly recommended" that they visit a forest camp on the Ump qua National Forest, to sleep in sleeping nags and cook tneir iooa in the open. The congressman and his wife had visited a forest camp recently Intending to stay only four days; instead they stayed two weeks. Road Program Juggled Answering a Question on the forest access road program. Ells worth admitted that It had been 'kicked around a little bit in Congress In the last session. He described the efforts he and an other representative marie to have a budgetary cut of sts.ooo.-'uo re stored to the original allotment of $20,000,000 for the road program. The Appropriations Committee, acting on the recommendation of the Bureau of the Budget, had rut the access road program to 5.-),- 000.000, "not much more than enough to complete the current projects and to maintain the roads, Ellsworth said. The re stored appropriation includes S185.0O0 allotted for the Tiller Trail Highway. Regarding the government al cohol plant at Springfield, Ells worth explained that the plant was neciared " surplus and placed In the hands of the War Assets Administration. The plant has been put up for sale and bids for Its purchase received. The gov ernment would sell the plant oniy to people wno would oper ate It." The plant Is being pro tected against "destruction and the U. S. Forest Service has a "keen Interest" In It. Work to Begin Soon On Salvation Army Home (Continued lrom Page One) both the chapel unit and a gym nasium, but the advisory board decided to proceed with only the first unit at present, authorizing work to be started at once. More Donations Urged Additional funds will be re quired if the project is to be fully completed. Chairman Flegel said. He urges persona who have not yet contributed to the Salvation Army building fund to mail their donations at their earliest con venience. 'This Is a very worthy project and merits the support of all citi zens of Roseburg," Flegel said. "We feel sure we will be able to raise funds to complete the proj ect now authorized and to ado the gymnasium at a later date." Mosher St. Widening Proposal Turned Down (Continued From Page One) tractors, of J12.918.80 for the construction of aw extension of South Jackson Street from Rob erts to the south city limits, was accepted. Original engineering estimates were $13,500. The question as to how the cost of the street work would be assessed was brought up by F. C. Frear, who owns property on Jackson, south of Rice Street. He pointed out that the large amount of excavation on the upper part of the project would cost a great deal more than that on the south section. He was informed by City Attorney Paul Geddes the city charter provides that when the work is completed, the street committee would analyze the costs, and make the assessments proportionately to the benefits derived by the abutting property. Plans and specifications for the extension of East Washington street irom Chadwlck to the east line of Donation Land Claim 39. calling for a 28-foot width con crete street 385 feet In length, were approved. The departure from the usual 40-foot width was agreed upon because of the con tours of the property concerned. A motion was passed calling for a resolution to announce the council's intention of Improving me street. The street committee recom mended against the improvement of Terrace Avenue from East Lane Street at this time because certain property would have to be purchased and the work could not be done under the present budget. Building Ordered Razed the council ordered the city attorney to prepare condemnation proceedings calling for the tear ing down of the Hunter building at 525 Woodward Street. The council had previously ordered razing of the building, but time had been given to move out some of the articles stored there. So far, it was reported, no action has been taken to move out these articles nor to tear down the building. Construction of a building, at an estimated cost of $1500 as provided by the budget, to pro vide shelter for the police car and motorcycles and other police equipment, was approved. The building would be 47 feet long by 12 feet, six Inches wide, and would be built along the south side near the east end of the building. The city manager was given permission to take quota tions for construction of a pumice block building. A petition, initiated by Bob Keefe and bearing several signa- ? TOMATOES ?

Street Cleaning Blocked The matter of cleaning up the city, referring principally to street cleaning, was discussed at length. It was brought out that the street sweeper cannot be used along the streets where cars are parked day and night. While a city ordinance prohibits all night parking, the ordinance has not been enforced, since there is no place for cars to park, especially in the down town sections. Councilman West proposed mat parking be eliminated at night from Jackson Street, be tween Douglas and Cass, and from Cass between Jackson and Stephens, to permit the street to be cleaned. He also proposed that garbage cans be placed along these streets, and that a campaign be launched to en courage people to place all papers or otner garbage in sucn cans. The matter of merchants pil ing rubbish on the streets to be picked up by the garbage truck was also discussed, but this matter was left up to the committee investigating the garbage situa tion in Roseburg. The city man ager was instructed to investigate the cost of attractive garbage cans to be placed along the street. A letter from the State High way Commission was read stating the commission, at the city's re quest, would Investigate the pro posed placing of a traffic signal at the South Stephen and Lane Street Intersection. Mayor Flegel reported he had written officials of the Grey hound Lines to the effect Rose burg was no longer a town of 4000 people and that the need was pressing that the bus depot be kept open In Roseburg all night. At present it is closed between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., al though several bus stops are made here to take on or let off passengers during the night.
