THROUGH STREETS AIM
DISCUSSION HELD BY RKAK
TORS THURSDAY NOON
The Marion Polk county realtors
at their weekly luncheon Thurs
day appeared to be highly in favor
of creating through streets in the
city of Salem. It was held that
in almost every other city the
travelers on the streets over which
the. main highways go are given
the right of way over cross streets.
F. N. Derby, the speaker at the
luncheon, declared that most of
the accidents in which motorists
from the east are involved can be
traced to the fact that they are
used to having the right of wayjlngton street lor, more than an
given , to the main highways, and
not understanding the system in
Salem, do not give much attention
to the side streets.
Outside of Oregon, Mr. Derby
declared, there is practically no
speed limits, and some states sim
ply advocate "u3e your own Judg
ment.'. It was suggested that the
planning committee of the realtors
draw up a tentative ordinance to
submit to the city council provid
ing for through streets.

Constitutionality of Law Upheld;
Organization Is Slated for
Next Week. i
Mayor J. B. Giesy announced
Thursday the names of the seven
citizens : who, with , himself, city
engineer and city attorney, will
make up the city planning and
ronlng commission provided for in
an ordinance passed July 22 by
the city council. Those named are
G. H. GrabenhorBt, realtor; Cor
nelia Marvin,' state librarian; Wil
liam Bell, insurance agent; Cuy
ler Van Patton, contractor;, -William
Hamilton, . Salem manager
for the PEP company; ; Harry N.
Crain. managing editor j ot the
Capitol Journal, and C, B McCul
lough, bridge engineer ; for the
state highway department!.
Delay in appointing the com
mission was caused by . the zoning
law of Portland, after which the
Salem ordinance follows closely,
being , held up and tested by the
state supreme court to see if it is
constitutional. Upon the Portland
law being found constitutional by
the supreme court, i Mayor Giesy
found it advisable , to appoint the
commission.
It will' be the, purpose of the
zoning commission of rearranging
parking strips, general beautlfica
tion of the city, and the establish
ment of zones in which the build
ing will be restricted as to quality
All ordinances to be submitted
to the city council dealing with
city improvements . or building
under the zoning ordinance, must
first be approved of by the zoning
commission.
The commission i3 required to
meet at least once a month. The
first meeting has not yet been
called, but will likely be held
some time next week at which a
president and vice president will
be elected. A secretary will also
be appointed, but does not of ne
cessity need to be a member of
the commission. The commission
is vested with authority to cod
suit building experts.

Session Delayed 24 Hours
Because of Special Thea
tre Attraction
SPECIAL LEVY DOUBTED
Defeat Would Mean Loss of Bad-
get; Extra Election for Sal
aries Not Expected to
Materialize Soon
Instead of calling a special elec
tlon to get the $9600 not account
ed for in the school budget for
1925-1926, the budget will be
pruned -here and there until-the
$9600 is eliminated, according to
George W. Hug, city superintend
ent . of schools. The budget com
mittee was scheduled to meet with
the school board last night to
work out the budget, but the
meeting was called off as several
of the members of the committee
and ot the board had tickets for
the nlay. "Abie's Irish Rose," and
will be held tonight instead.
Reason for pruning the budget.
even at the expense of efficiency
in the city school system, was
given by Mr. Hug to be that there
was too much danger of the spe
cial levy not going across, in
which case the board would be
left without any budget at all.
With the chances for the special
election talked of now appearing
to be very small, the prospects foe
the teachers .of Salem to get be
fore the people in an endeavor to
receive a general salary increase
seem diminished. The teachers
have appointed a committee and
have been working toward arrang
ing a new salary schedule on the
supposition that the school board
would go through with a special
election, as distinctly Intimated.
Just what action the teachers will
take in case the school board does
not call for a special election has
not yet been decided upon, and It
is expected that the matter will
be brought before the budget com
mittee at its meeting tonight.
One of the most serious cuts
made Th' order to bring down the
budget to eliminate the $9600 ex
cess is the reduction In the allow
ance for insurance from $1600 to
$1000.
