votes upon the annexation accep
tance. Should the annexations
tail, the city could then proceed
with the bond Issue election.
Geddes aho informed the coun
cil it will be necessary to amend
the city charter to make It pos
sible to bond the city In the
amounts specified for the airport
and municipal building. This,
however, can be done in a single
election, covering both the char
ter amendments and the bond
issues.
He stated that a study of the
charter reveals that the city can
bond Itself only In a maximum
of $225,000. Also limitations are
placed on specified items, such as
street or sewer repair. The
charter makes no provision for
airport Improvements. The ordi
nance setting the election must
cover botn tne cnaner amena
ments and the bond voting.
Ward Changing Deferred
No action was taken toward
changing the city wards to coin
cide with the recent redrawing
of precinct lines by the county
court. It was decided that there
was no hurry on the matter prior
to the next county or state elec
tion, so action was deferred un
til the outcome of the annexation
election. The change In voting
precinct lines have added two
precincts within the city, making
10. Previously the eight precincts
were divided into four wards.
The council referred to th
planning commission the proposal
to vacate a portion of Claire
street.
Master Warrant Authorized
A resolution was passed auth
orizing the Issuance of a master
warrant to take rare of needed
city expenses until tax money
for the current year Is available.
The city is authorized by recent
legislation to issue the one war
rant to obtain otierating cash.

to issue numerous small interest
bearing warrants, usually re
deemable at the hanks.
A policy was established of not
refunding building permit fees,
in case the builder decide not to
firoceed with his construction,
tequest had been made by Quin
tus Dlckerson for refund of a $26

plans failed to mature. The coun

limited expense In handling the
permit.

West, South Hit
By Winter Debut
By The Associated Press
A swirling white preview of
winter hanked five -foot snow
drifts in Montana today and dipp
ed temperatures in the Rocky
mountains area as low as 12 de
grees. The windy snowfall was In con
trast to the pleasant autumn
weather which prevailed over
most of the eastern half of the
country.
North winds, recorded i t 55
mile speed In top gusts, piled
the snow which fell mainly on
the eastern slopes of the North
ern Rockies and In the North
west plains area adjacent. The
actual fall ranged from si inch
es at Cut Bank. Mont., and live
inches in Yellowstone National
park to approximately one inch
in most of Ihe area.
No' emergency conditions were
caused by the storm, authorities
said. The early morning mini
mum of 12 degrees alwve zero
was reported at Cut Bank. The
mercury was under the freezing
mark at most Montana points.
Rain fell on the fringes of the
snow area in Northwestern
Utah and southern Wyoming.
A heavy pall of fog and smoke
developed eaily todv jver the
Chicago area, causin; a numier
of accidents on s'reeta and high
ways. Ten airliners carrying some 200
passengers winged In circles over
the city at dawn, waiting for sun
rise and a breee to clear run
ways of the airports.
The western snow area was
spreading southeastward, with
rain in Us van turning to snow.
The cool weather extended
from Montana southweslward to
Nevada and westward to Wash
ington and Oregon.
Airport Plans Discussed
By CAA Engineer

be accomplished and the cost
thereof.
"As indicated In Mr. Irving's
report, Ihe estimate appears to
be on the hieh side for obvious
reasons, and he probably has in
mind that it Is large enough to
rover some of the smaller Items
that we might suggest be Includ
ed for your consideration. Again,
as Mr. Irving Indicated. It may
be desirable to keep the first
bond issue to a minimum and
again it Is possible tha Ihe voters
would prefer that the entire cost
of the development be bonded at
one time. That ran he-.it he de
termined hy you people who best
understand the community and
its finances.
Items Suggested
"Along this line we would sug
gest for your consideration the
following items: Ilia small mod
ern administration building; (2)
utilities; M approach clearing;
(41 two stub taxluays and an
apron to serve an administrative
area in the southwest corner of
the airport; '51 airport boundary
and administrative area fencing,
and 'til access road to the ad
ministrative area.
"Other items may also be con
sidered, such as plane tie down
area, auiomohile parking area,
segmented circle, landscaping
and seeding of graded areas anil
airport marking."
He added: "We are pleased to
note that Ihe city council intends
to proceed with a bond election
because we feel that this addition
al transportation facility will he
of great value to Rosehurg and
the surrounding area. We agree
that further expenditure for en
gineering should probably be
withheld pending the outcome
of the election, except that it
might be advisable for Mr. Irving
n continue with soil testing and
analysis. Without these his grad
ni, base and paving estimates
:ire not too close."
Kryberger offered full cooper
ation of his office In any de
velopment plans.

once was the president's guest at
his winter whit house at Key
West, Fla.
Mead turned down a presiden
tial offer a couple of years ago
to be a member of the Fedeial
Power commission.
Salaries Assured
If the senate fails to act on
the Wallgren and Mead nomi
nations before adjourning, the
president could follow up with
recess appointments and then
submit the nominations again in
January.
By sending up the nominations
at this time, however, the presi
dent paved the way for laoth
to draw salaries under any te
cess appointments. They could
not do so if they were given re
cess appointments without irior
nominations.
There was Immediate approval
from several senators for Mead's
nomination and there seemed
likely to he no opposition to his
conlirmation for Ihe Trade com
mission post.
The president is still looking
for a new chairman for the na
tional security resources board.
Mr. Truman also is trying to
fill the chairmanship of the mu
nitions hoard. The senate refused
to confirm Carl Ilgenfritz lor
that post because Ilgenfritz felt
he could not give up his salary
as vice chairman of U. S. Steel
in order to take over the govern
ment post.

ods, principles, and objectives
upon which the country must re
ly In the event of war.
The first anonymous document j
which has figured in the navy-air
force row was circulated on Cap-1
itol Hill last summer. It suggested
that the B-36 procurement pro-
gram was surrounded by irregu-1
larities and instances of political
pull. j
Jt touched off an Investigation
by the House committee. Finally,
Cedric Worth, then a navy de
partment official, admitted he
wrote it.
The navy suspended Worth
from his job as aide to the under
secretary of the navy. Later, he
resigned.
The House committee com
pletely absolved Symington and
everybody else connected with the
bomber program of any corrup
tion. Symington read to the com
mittee a letter from Franklin
D'Olier, chairman of Ihe U. S.
strategic bombing survey, saying
the second anonymous document
paints a picture "diametrically op
posed to the feelings of the
survey."

were suggested which could cut
the cost, he believes. Much of the
operation this year, he said wa,s
experimental.
While some budgeted items
were greater than the expendi
ture, the reverse was true in
other cases. The cost of attend
ants was higher than expected,
and the cost of supplies, much
of which will be used again in
future years, was high.
Criticism Also Noted
"From all appearances the
swimming pool and wading pools
went over very well considering
the first year's use," according
to the report. "There was con
siderable criticism as to operation
and numerous complaints regard
ing the dirty condition of th-?
wading pools, from time to time."
This condition resulted chiefly
from the refuse thrown in the
pools, as the pools were cleaned
and new chlorine water added
twice a week, according to the
report. The Red Cross was
recognized for the water swim
ming courses.
Listed among accomplishments
of the Park commission are
work on the Library and Jackson
street parks, Umpqua park and
Laurelwood park. Considerable
work was also done on the North
Jackson and Commercial street
parkways.
Contribution of $500 was made
the peewee baseball program, un
der the direction of Mavor
Albert G. Flegel.
Public Kitchen Projected
Plans were presented to con
struct a community kitchen and
large outdoor fireplace in Ump
qua park. The base and fire-box
has been poured for the fireplace
and rock for facing has been
secured. The park department
plans to have the kitchen finished
for use next summer. The kitch
en will consist of two sinks and
three cooking stoves, with hot
and cold water. The amount of
$500 has been set aside for this
construction.
Permanent Improvements to
the Umpqua park facilities are
planned to include grading and
graveling of the roads, fencing
the entire park area with con
crete posts two feet high, far
enough apart to permit cars to
drive between them, and the
planting of some lawn.
Laurelwood park has been
maintained and kept clean. Two
tables were installed for picnic
purposes. rtuoDisn cans have
been placed.
Thought and discussion has
been given lighting the tennis
courts at the high school and
on Commercial street.
Considerable work has been
done In hauling top soil fill for
the swimming pool parking lot,
and Improvements will be made
to conform with previous land
scaping plans.
