schools of thought" on the pro
posed street renaming. (1) that
the street names are good enough
as they are now, they've always
been that way; (2) that the street
renaming Is "too radical," and
(3) the proposals are "not radical
enough. and the street should
be completely renamed on an al
phabetical or numerical system.

Harbor Board Manager Ben F.
Rush Issued a statement saying
the territory's plans had been
delayed.
This was due, he said, to ob
jections of the ship's rrew to
working behind the iLWU picket
line and to "some delay In en
forcement" of the Inlunctlon.
"The harbor board will not
place stevedores aboard the Mer

removed," Rush said.
The government did, however,
make a start on stevedoring op

A letter from the Roseburg
Central Labor council, asking th?
city to apply for 100 low-rental
housing units from the govern
ment, was given to a special com
mittee composed of Councllmen
J A. Hart, Frank Ashley, and
Percy Croft.
Discussion of annexation of
suburban areas was postponed un
til the next meeting.
Rent Control Favored
Mayor Klegel reported on his
attendance at a recent meeting
of the Douglas County Rent Ad
visory board. He said he believed
that the board makes very fair
decisions and if landlords desire
rent Increases, these are usually
granted. He expressed the opin
ion that rent controls should be
realned In Roseburg.

It would have the legal right to do
so. One of the conditions would
be it would have to operate its
own dump ground.
Present for the discussion last
night were Richard C. John and
Norman John, owners of the
comnanv.
They were told by Councilman
George E. West, member of the
police committee, that "we want
to see vou make a fair profit." It
was the committee's opinion, he
said, that they would mane a
"nice nroflt" at the rates and li-

The John brothers had re
quested an Increase in rates and
once-a-week collections when they
appeared before the council a
month ago. At the last council
meeting, they amended their pro
posed schedule by establishing a
rate for those who desire twlce-
weeklv collections.
Last night they said they would
"lose money" at the rates pro
posed by the council for twice
weekly collections, because the
route mileage for their trucks
would not be greatly reduced.
They were told by Mayor Fle
gel, however, that between now
and Oct. 1, when the new rales
become effective, they may dis
cuss their problems with individ
ual council members.
The following rates, recom
mended by the police committee,
were approved:

Old Glory will again fly from
the post office flagpole, thanks
to Bill Reed of the Roseburg fire
department.
Last night, 26-year-old Reed
shinnled up the top 20 feet of the
67-foot pole located on the Rose
burg post office grounds, to thread
a new line into the topside pulley.
The old line had broken.
A 47-foot ladder was placed
against the pole. Reed was left to
his own devices in climbing the
remaining 20 feet. He dropped the
line once while trying to thread"
the pole, and had to climb all the
way down to retrieve the cable.
He succeeded in his second at
temot, for which he was duly
applauded by a huge throug of on
lookers. The fire department elected to
re-string the pole, after a month
old appeal for a steeple-Jack went
unanswered.
