NUMBER 28 Ten Cents |* t <’«>py City Council Keeps After Drainage Problem; Douglas Named Fire Chief At Presidio Medical Trainee Polio Concert Set for Sunday Cottage Grove moved a little closer toward solutions of the drainage and sewage disposal problems Mond a y night when the city council decided that plans for sum mer work should be made now. Along those lines councilmen made the following authorizations: 1. Instructed City Engineer L. W. Coiner to obtain cost estimates of plans for the sewage treatment plant and pumping station. The Corvallis engineering firm of Cor nell, Howland, Hayes and Merry- field is preparing the plans. 2. Instructed the street com mittee headed by Councilman Os car Smith to obtain the necessary rights-of-way for a drainage ditch to carry excess surface water in the vicinity of South Eighth St. to the river. "We'll have to do more work on this drainage problem," Mayor Frank Doleman commented. "We should pick the worst spots and get to work on them this summer while ground conditions are best.” The council hired Virgil Douglas as fire chief to succeed George Peckham, who resigned in Decem ber. Stan Daugherty has been act ing chief since that time. Douglas will take over his duties here March 1. For the past IS months Douglas has been working for the govern- ment in Alaska, He is returning to his former job here, for he was fire chief two years ago. Salaries of two city employes - the recorder and city engineer were each raised $35 per montli retroactive to Jan. 1. Councilmen felt the pay increases were justi fied in view of the raises granted to policemen and firemen several weeks ago. The recorder’s salary now is $335 per month, and the city en gineer makes $385. Both raises are effective until the end of the fiscal year. . The »¡et'rder’s salary, as such, 1». set at $50 a month, bur as water collector he receives $250 a month. Therefore, the salary of the water collector was boosted from $250 to $285. which makes the actual salary of the recorder $335. The case of the engineer is simi lar. The water fund accounts for some $230 of his pay. This item was raised to $265 giving him a total income of $385 a month. Procurement of a fire truck and how to finance it also occupied a great deal of the council’s time. Councilmen were advised by City Attorney Herbert W. Lombard that the amount of the down pay ment must be budgeted and on hand when the truck, is ordered. The city has about $1500 in the sinking fund that can be used for this purpose. It was thought this sum would be sufficient for a down payment under the terms of a lease agreement. The purchase also would hinge on whether or not the Rural Fire Protection Association would re new its contract with the city at the increased figure of $5000. • Tuesday night officials of the association agreed to renew the contract. There will lx? no addi tional cost to rural residents.) Councilman Z. A. Coop urged the advisability of prompt action in purchasing either a new fire truck or a new pumper for the present truck. He warned that th«' city is in danger of slipping from grade six to seven in fire insur ance rating, and that additional fire equipment is essential.
