two projects, filed with the coun

were accepted, and the govern
mental body will give notification
to residents of the work planned.
Grading and paving of about V
blocks of Terrace Avenue south
of Lane Street will cost an esti
mated $18,053.60, with $4,945.60
coming from the city. Some mem
bers of the council expressed hope
the city would not become em
broiled in disagreement such as
the school district will meet cer
tain building specifications.
A request for permssion to
cut additional streets for laying
television cable was relerrea oy
Mavor Percy Croft to the street
committee. Eugene Roelle, on bo
half of Umpqua Radio & Tclevis-
ion, made the request, covering
several areas of the city. Work of
laying the cable win have to await
a committee report at the next
council meeting.
Reports Go To Committee
Referred to the health and sani
tation committee were two reports
recommending condemnation of
property The city inspector,

recommended an apartment house

Reservoir and Glenn street?. In
dications are there will be much
less difficulty in connection with

stallation work will twist an esti
mated $4,228 or an average of
about $350 per lot.
Storm Sewer Work Due
The council also adopted plans
for extending a storm sewer on
Lane Street at an estimated cost
of $2,214, which will be met en
tirely by the city.

Ballf Street be condemned. A re
cent fire did about $1,400 damage
to the place.
A protest was registered on the
basis that Mrs. Bauer did not in
tend to continue renting the prop
erty, but only wanted a place for
herself to live. The condemnation
was based on the premise it was
to continue .is an apartment and
that necessary work to bring the
place up to standard would be 7
per cent of the value of the prop
erty. The other condemnation recom
moDtatior. had to do with prop
erty of Mrs Emma Ohman, 320
W. Cass St.
A petition from 24 residents on
Ballf Street north of Harvard that
the street be widened was referred
to the street committee and the
city engineer.
Ministers Protest
A letter from the Roseburg Min
isterial Assn. censuring the coun
cil's action on a liquor store site
was read by Mayor Croft, then
filed. At the last council session,
the body gave it? approval to a
plan to move the state liquor store
from Stephens Street to Rose
Street, behind the new J. C. Pen
ney building. The ministerial as
sociation pa:sed a resolution in
"strong opposition' to the council
action. The letter said the asso
ciation's action wrs unanimous.
Pro-rated distribution of city
boxing commission funds to vet
erans' organizations was approv
ed. The American Legion, Dis
abled American Veterans, Veter
ans of Foreign Wars and Spanish
American War Veterans will di
vide $1,200, according the mem
bership of the oraanization.
Early Protest Heard
One of two or three citizens at
tending the council session, Noble
B. Gocttel, arose to protest a rum
ored move to install tennis courts
in the city's Laurclwood Park. He
said a petition had been circulated
in the area protesting such a move.
But, Mayor Croft said no peti
tion had been presented and that
he knew of no proposal for such a
move. He said if and when such
a proposal comes un or petitions
are entered, they will he studied
by the city nark commission.
Street Signs Approved
The council approved the pur
chase of street siqns along Har
vard Avenue as far west as the
city limits. The action came after
a discussion on whether the signs
misht not have to be chanced when
the city planning commission com
pletes work on plans for revamp
In? 'he street system.
That was solved, however.
when the council agreed to have
an ordinance prepared stipulating
north and south streets he called
"streets" and east and west
Union Leader
Resigns Over
Roosevelt Deal
LOS ANGELES ( The head
of the big Los Angeles local of
the AFL Retail Clerks Union has
resigned from the National Demo
cratic Party Advisory Council on
the ground that there Is t conspir
acy "to wreck the name of Roose
velt." The resignation of Joseph T.
DeSilva, secretary-treasurer of the
local, followed the suggestion of
Democratic National Chairman
Stephen Mitchell that James
Roosevelt withdraw from the 26th
District congressional race in Cali
fornia. Roosevelt refused, saying
the suggestion, if generally accept
ed "would open the door to politi
cal blackmail."
Mitchell said in a letter to Paul
Ziffren, California Democratic na
tional committeeman, that 'f be
lieve most Democrats would feel
that the candidate would serve his
party best by standing aside from
election contests until personal
problems are disposed of in the
proper place." He said the party
is not supporting Roosevelt or Rep.
Robert Condon (D-Calif.).
Rep. Condon was barred by the
Atomic Energy Commission from
a Nevada test last Mav 7. Mitch
ell's letter said a Senate-House
committee, before which Condon
had a hearing, has made no deci
sion and the AEC has not lifted
the ban. Condon, who has denied
under oath that he is a Communist,
bas called the ban 'stale political
cnarges.

What are the
intrinsic advantages
of the
MICHELIN
"METALIC
TIRE
ADVANTAGES
1. SAFETY IN OPERATION:
Elimination of blowout and bead failures, py
cellent resistance to deep cuts. Rarefication of
ply separation ond impact breaks. Belter re
sistance to bruises. While sufficiently sharp ob
jects can pierce METALIC Tires, ordinary punct
ures ore greatly reduced. The protector a
standard feature in METALIC Tires (consisting
of a heavy liner made of soft rubber crmen'rd
insido the casing) provides added insurance a
qainst punctures, making flats exceedingly ra'e
in operation. Thus with METALIC, there is no
longer the risk of costly road dcloys. Like onv
other tire, Michelin METALIC con be ruined
by under-inflation, bleeding, bad rims or faulty
mountings.
2 OP.ERATINC TEMPERATURES:
Michelin METALIC Tires operate unde' severe
conditions at a temperature 20 to 25 decrees
cooler than textile tires. This is due to th
fewer plies flexing against each other, cud to
better heat dissipation because of thinner wails.
"Hot Spots" ore eliminated due to the heat
conducting character of the steel cables, which
render the temperature homogeneous through
out the carcass.
3. STEERINC ABILITY:
Excellent! This, combined with front wheel sofctv
is a feature much appreciated by drivers of large
busses or heavy log trucks.
4. FLEXIBILITY:
The deflection of the METALIC Tire is superior
to that or corresponding textile tires, became
of its 2 4 (qccording to size) ply construction,
Our LOAD INFLATION TABLE has been made
out so that METALIC Tires, no matter what
load they carry, will run with the same deflect
ion, i. e , the one deemed to give th best
runnmQ conditions, resulting in as even wear
and high milcoae.
5. RIMS AND TIRES:
Michelin METALIC Tires fit standard rims. Thev
use tubes of corresponding sires, but their flans
are different due to their bead specdicat.ons
They are always supplied with special flaps and
with o "protector".
6 BULKINESS:

Is somewhat smaller. The loaded radius and the
