PARIS, Jati. 4. (By Associate

The number of dead in these

cially Sound
Salem is to have more street
buses and less street cars, during
the coming year, according to ac
tion taken by the city council at
its regular meeting last night. Mr.
Biilingsly, manager of the street
railway system of Salem, ex
plained that the short bus route
they now run, while satisfactory
to customers, is not a paying
proposition. He explains that his
company, the Southern Pacific,
wish to try out the buses on a
longer route to see if the matter
will pay. "
"We want to demonstrate
whether or not the street bus is a
success," he said. "Every one
knows that the electric street car
is becoming obsolete. By putting
on, these, buses, it is our belief that
better service ;an be given, tor
the buses will not have to stop
as the cars do at the switches. We
can speed up the service by sev
eral minutes each."
In addition to the bus line now

Instead of funning flfteen-hiln

The city planning and zoning
commission asked the council to
pass an ordinance amending the
building code ordinance. The
ordinance was passed with but two
dissenting votes. Under thislrd
nance, no structure other than
dwelling built outside the fire
limits can be erected unless the
builder submits the plans and
specifications to the city council.
These plans and specifications
may be submitted to the planning
commission if the council wishes.'
Purpose of. this ordinance is to
halt the promlscous,, construction.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (By

in . the senate today, facing a
three-cornered fight.
Secretary Mellon expressed the
administration position generally
by warning, the senate finance com

by the house represented the tc
tal amount of tax reduction which

ranted about 1330,000,000.
This sum was the. surplus the gov

of the Iast fiscal year.
Before the day was over," how
ever, republicans and democrats
of the committee met in separate
conferences to discuss
possible
changes in the bill. '
Senator Simmons of North Car-;
olina, ranking democrat on the
committee, announced later he
was dissatisfied with the house
bill and hoped that senate demo
crats would urge greater reduc
tion than it provided, mentioning
$400,000,000, as the minimum;
Chairman Smoot, spokesman for
the republicans, meanwhile has
under consideration some changes
in the rate schedules which would
not disturb the total amount of
tax "reduction. He' is considering,
increasing I' the exemption from
the admission tax from 5Qc to $1.
He would offset th4s, under the
tentative plan, by repealing pro

Annual Report
URGES BETTER LIGHTS
Annual Address Is Made at City
Council Meeting Last Night;
Makes Recommendations
and Gives Praise '
Following general commenda
tion of the work of various city
deDartments. nolice, fire.! street
and street improvement. Mayor J.
B. Giesy, in his annual report pre
sented to city councilmen, made
the following recommendations:
Improvement of city lighting
system.
Need of renumbering the hous
es in Salem.
Keen regret at withdrawal of
funds for the municipal play
ground.
Development of water supply
and water distributing system.
His words, in part, follow:
"Our present street lighting
system is not entirely satisfactory
and I would recommend that the
council make an investigation and
survey of the same with a view to
securing better lighting effects for
the city. The north and south,
entrances to the city on' the Paci
fic highway should be appropri
ately designated for traffic and
properly illuminated at night.
"I wish again to call attention
to the need for the renumbering
of the houses in our city. Much
confusion is caused, not only to
strangers but to our own citizens
as well, on account of the hap
hazard numbering of houses. Much
inconvenience also results to the
post office department and numer
ous complaints have been made
by the city carriers. This, too
should be carefully studied and
plan devised for correcting our
prmelirTreYectrvehum
tem. - 1
"I cannot refrain from express
ing my keen regret that an ap
propnation was not included ip
our present budget for the main
tenance of our municipal play
ground, and I 'sincerely trust that
our next budget may contain ade
quale . provision for this most
worthy enterprise which means so
much to our boys and girls.
"May I again remind you of the
urgent necessity for the inaugu
ration of a permanent bridge con
struction program . A thorough
study of this subject should be
made at onco and a measure con
taining adequate provision for the
city's requirements along this line
should be prepared for presenta
tion to the people of Salem at the
primary election to be held in
May of this year.
i also desire to say again, as
1 said in my message to you a year
ago. that there is nothing more
essention to tho growth and de
velopment of a city as its water
supply and water distributing
system. At that time I declared
it to be my earnest conviction that
Salem should have a municipally
owned water system. I wish now
to reaffirm my belief that Salem
should own and operate its own
water system, and to urge that
the special water committee which
was appointed during ; the past
year make preparation at the
earliest time possible for submit
ting a definite and practicable
plan for accomplishing this very
important project.
"We are all well aware of the
fact that Salem is rapidly grow
ing in population and along with
its development will come prob
lems which must bo carefully
studied and solved if our city is to
prosper to tho fullest extent. To
that end I invite "your j heartiest
cooperation in the work of this
new year and I sincerely trust It
may be -at successful one in every
sense of the word."
