CITY COUNCIL HOLDS EXTENDED MEETING (Continued from pKf 1) the report, the council found the ordinance so worded that no one was able to give a true interpre tation of it. .As a consequence it was voted to refer it to the mayor and ,clty attorney to have it re constructed. A previous ordinance, passed by the council and 'vetoed by the mayor, specified $50 as the fee. This was held to be in excess of regulatory fees and hence, a rev enue not allowed by 4.he state. Alderman : Frd Williams sug gested that another ordinance be passed setting a lift It to the time i bus or "car over a specified length" can park within the city limits. He Jield that now the busses park sometimes for 1 2 hours, and are "a danger to the public health and safety." "If we can't license these busses for more than 10. a l right." Wil liams continued. "We can get our money from them by other means. There is not a sloes tint goes through here but what violates the 'aw. Let's use a little law en forcement." That Steinbock should be en couraged to build and retain his tire vulcanizinf plant in Salem was the general opinion expressed by the pidermen. but some of them held that he should not be allowed to construct the plant at the loca tion suggested. Not only is halfe the pronerty within the fire limits forbidding the construction of corrugated iron structures, but every property owner in the district H nnpoed to the erection of the r'mf on that location. Alderman W. IT. Daney declared. To this Ptefnbock rented if be could not build on that location If you believe the spine Is the seat of most of your physical ills,' and more people are thinking so every day. just give it a rubbing every night with Joint-Ease and watch the helpful results. It limbers up the spinal column bo that you can straighten out round shoulders and makes old folks look and feel younger. Many people are getting it daily from Dan'l. J.

"My place is not a factory, but a vulcanizing plant," Steinbock declared. "I reconstruct 20 Ure3 an hour, and in my new plant I would employ 100 people. I spend thousands of dollars a year in ad vertising, and that's why I want a location on Commercial street." Aldermen Rosebraugh and Wil liams brought out that Steinbock controls in this state the process of reconstructing old tires so that they are still good for thousands of miles. They said that he has nany orders ahead of him. and (hat the business looks like a suc cess. Uu.t the question of location uspended definite action, and the matter was referred to the Cham ber of Commerce to decide on the plausibility of the location. Through stree's in Salem under the ordinance to be considered finally at the next meeting would be as follows: tha Portland Road from the north city limits to High land avenue; Fairgrounds Road from Highland avenue to Capitol street, if extended; Capitol street from Fairground Road to Court street; Court street from Capitol to Church street; State street from Church to 2;th street, if extended; and Commercial streetfrom State street to the south city limits. It would be unlawful for any person driving a vehicle of any kind to cross a through street without coming to a complete litop. The streets' would be mark ed with posts bearing the sign "stop." Penalties for violations would range in fines from J 10 to $200. from one to 30 days in the city jail, or both. The council was asked by the Salem YMCA employment bureau to furnish it a room. Mr. Kells. general secretary of the YMCA. explained that In the new building there will be no room for the bu reau. He asked that the council donate the use of the room at the top of the stairs leading into the council chamber. The matter was referred to the building committee .vlth power to act. An ordinance to regulate the in stallation of wireless equipment principally aerials, was passed. Mr. Hamilton of the PEP company told the council that Portland has such a law. but before it was pass ed, three boys had lost their lives brcpuse they had tried to put up their aerials in a wrong way. Pen alties for faulty installment are fines ranging from $10 to $500; 30 days in city jail, or both.

P Mi BEAUTIFUL MYRTLE WOOD Myrtle wood i,s as rare as it is beautiful and with its un usual nature coloring and grain, the wood when care fully selected and finished with a high polish which maintains its nature color ing and grain. This wood as far as known is only found in America in the very northern part of Cal ifornia and southern part of Oregon near the coast on the low lands and very best fertile soil. Each piece is a poem in wood. In the depths of its lustrous surface you may read of the dance of the Nymphs and the call of the wild things of the forest and mountain and the song of the ocean wave. - The mystery of the orig in of these trees, the long years of growth, com mencing even before the coming of Columbus spells Myrtle Wood. Fitting it as the wonders of the past, be ing preserved by the art of the Almighty for the pleas ure of those who appreciate these beautiful gifts of nature. Palestine is the only other place in ,the world where Myrtle wood grows. And as that country is some distance from here, and even southern Oregon or northern California is not as near as might be we would tell you that a very fine assortment of gift pieces of this extremely beautiful wood can be found right here in Salem at CHAMBERS CHAMBERS Beautiful Pieces Davenport and End Tables Mahogany and Wal nut Desks Cedar Chests Tea Wagons Lamps all kinds Davenports Smoking Stands Mahogany Book Cas es and many other useful gifts CHAMBERS CHAMBERS Court Street r j
