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

he would take his plant out of Sa
lem. "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.

Members of the Salem Longfel

self-satisfied smiles when they
greeted their friends on the streets

weeks ago. an impassioned cam
paign was launched to get Augus

budd Fisher, into honorary mem
bership in the club.
Mondav the first word was re
ceived here that news of the effort
has reached the ears of Mutt's
keepers at their headquarters in
New York City.
A letter received yesterday by
Dr. Ansley G. Bates, president of
the local organization, expresses
thanks for the honor that i.s about
to befall the chosen hero of the
Salem Longfellows. aud indiates
that Mr. Fisher himself will be
notified at once. "I am sorry to

It is understood that certain
members of the council have de

have declared themselves for the

These factions are scheduled to

reinstating the playground fund
will base their stand, it is under

is no money for it.

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
