Lab Water Line Passes
The city council took action
Tuesday night to permit the in­
stallation of a wtter line to the
OSU Marine Research Lab at
the former Coast Guard station.
The action involved a motion
to change a c i t y ordinance,
which passed unanimous. Public
works commissioner Jim Peter­
son said the line would cost a-
bout $8, 0C0 for material and
should amortize itself in five or
six years.
Peterson also asked that water
rates for commercial users be

Curry Woman In
Stale Position
Last week Berniece Hewitt of
Brookings was elected S t a t e
vice-president of the Oregon
Extension Homemakers Council
in Corvallis. At the end of the
three-day meeting which was
attended by Miriam Christensen,
Kathryn Foster, Marie Oak, Mir­
iam Rasch, Bemeice Hewitt and
Curry County Extension Agent
Jane Shearer, 35 Oegon county
representatives cast their e lec­
toral votes.
This is the first time anyone
from Curry county has held an
office in the State Extension
Council. Over 5,000 Oegon
ladies from 36 counties belong
to the County Extension Pro­
gram. Over 800 ladies we re in
attendance at the State Coun­
cil meeting.
Mrs.Hewitt will hold the office
of vice-president for three years.
Her many duties include hold­
ing the chairmanship of a state
committee, officiating as pres­
ident in the president's absence,
and visiting all 36 Oegon coun­
ties during her term in office.
changed. The council voted to
raise the hook-up fee from $65
to $100, for up to one-inch
lines, because meter costs had
gone up. A new commercial
rate schedule will be presented
at the next meeting.
The commissioner suggested
that annexation of the property
on Coast Guard hill be consid­
ered so the city could provide
water to residences in that area
and it was agreed to pursue the
matter.
Police commissioner Harry
Price was given permission to
advertise for bids on a new po­
lice car.
A request for a building per­
m it for a $65, 000 motel was
read from Agnes Leutwyler
but it was decided to table it
because plans were not includ­

Windmaiser added th a t Mrs.
Leutwyler had also requested
that the grade of 7th S t., be­
tween Jefferson and Deady, be
lowered because of the motel. . .
a request she had made several
times before. Peterson said he
had checked with the three other
property owners adjacent to the
street and they wanted it left
as is.
The council approved a re­
quest by sanitation commis­
sioner Red McWilliams to pur­
chase left-over sewer pipe and
fittings from Cregon Construc­
tion Co. at a cost of $1, 500. It
was decided to refer a request
from Val Townley asking the
city to remove a pumping sta­
tion near his property and place
it underground to former city
attorney Lynn McNutt. Townley
said it was an eye-sore and de­
valued his property.
Mayor Jim Wilson announced
that the State Sanitary Authority
had approved a request for ad­
ditional funds In the amount of
$15, 000 for necessary work on
the sewer plant lagoons.
Bills in the amount of $2, -
439. 24 were approved for pay­
