- Rain brought a cool interlude
to fevered New York tonight after
the mercury, reaching 92 degrees
daring the . day, had established
another record as the hottest Jane
19 since 1873.
Numerous deaths were reported
throughout the east as attributed

three persons drowned and thir

""Wednesday night still sweltered

Millions in the metropolitan

"when Boston cools off, the whole
east will cool off."
Schools Ordered Closed

Meanwhile, although Boston
nd Portland, Maine, were several

Tuesday, and getting cooler all the

Springfield and Lawrence, Mass.,
because the mercury had shot up

run along county roads from Wil

Wood burn from which point the
conduit would oe conquciea u oa-
lem over a right-of-way obtained
from the Southern Pacific rail
road. Members of the court regard the
development the company pro
poses favorably far as an improve
ment for the service of the tele
phone company is concerned. The
question bothering the court is
the effect on road right-of-ways
which, this proposed ditch would
have. Court members point out
that the ditch fill would probably
sink and leave a place for water
to be pooled along the road while
t! j conduit route would also make
grading difficult.
The telephone representatives
say permission to use road, right-of-ways
has already been obtained
in Clackamas and Multnomah
counties. They are opposed to
bringing their conduit down the
Oregon Electric right-of-way since
there would be electrical interfer
ence from the trolley lines. To
bring the conduits across the
fields would be expensive and dif
ficult, not only because of the pur
chase of right-of-ways but because
fence rows would frequently have
to be removed, trees dug out and
other expensive construction done.

Telltale Chalk Marks Will

Oh Downtown Beat ,
Salem's PI Alpha Pi fraternity
the Greek letters standing for
"park and park." meaning those
gentry who make It a practice to
move their automobiles from one
parking place to the next vacant
one to avoid paying a fine for ov
ertime has fallen on evil days.
Plain chalk marks across the
tires no longer advertise to the
car owner that it is time to move
on. Instead, the officer In charge
of checking up on this matter just
marks down the license numbers
on his notebook, and none but a
clairvoyant can tell whether his
number is "written there" or not.
Short Move Not
Enough For Police
What's more, it is no lenger suf
ficient to back out of one parking
place and slide into the next, be
cause under the necessarily com
plex wording of the new ordinance
that's no defense.
Without delving Into legal
phraseology, it works out some
thing like this:
Jones's car is parked somewhere
in the "one hour" zone. Just be
fore the hour is up. It becomes
incumbent upon him to move. But
he must move out of that block
the ordinance says a distance of
300 feet or the officer will get
him if he don't watch out.
Innocent Autolst May
Possibly Be Arrested
But now supposing that Jones
parks in a certain block for a few
minutes and the officer gets his
number the first time; and then
supposing that Jones, innocently,
happens to park in that block for
a few minutes before four hours
have elapsed and the officer catch
es him again Jones is going to
have to do a lot of explaining to
the judge, even though he hasn't
actually violated the ordinance.
This new parking law says
Jones must not park for more than
an hour in the designated space,
at any time within four hours.
Members of the city council opin
ed, before passing the ordinance,
that it would be necessary to de
tail an officer to watch every car.
That would be practically true
if the police wanted to be sure of
catching all violators, or If they
wanted to be absolutely certain
that anybody violated the ordin
ance; but practically speaking, it
will be no more difficult to en
force the new law than to enforce
the old one barring the excep
tional case just described in which
a motorist makes two brief stops
in the same block.
