At Dancy"s instigation the coun

cut In the wages paid all firemen.
Dancy said he had Introduced this
measure with the view of earing

Fear Increase in
Insurance Rates ' '
Alderman O. A. Olson started
discussion of fire department
problems when he moved to have
the resolution closing all the aux
iliary fire stations brought up for
final action. Watson Townsend
then moved that the east station.
"en State street be stricken from
the list and George Averett sec
onded the motion. Paul Hendricks,
south iBalem. alderman, disagreed
with the policy of closing the
north and south Salem stations,
saying Insurance rates would
probably be raised and the small
reduction In city costs would be
entirely offset by higher Insurance
premiums which would be requir
ed. Hendricks said all of the resi
dents In his wardwho had talked
to him were opposed to the clos
ing of the south Salem station.
Aldermen favoring the closing
of the stations said such action
was imperative if the city balance
"Its budget and make some provi
sion for the heavy tax delinquency
which Is anticipated.
Dancy protested making the
fire department a "fait guy." He
said If economy had to be prac
ticed In the city's affairs, all de-
- partments should be made to take
a cut. He said the fire department
had been made the "goaf in pre
vious economy measures adopted
by the council. . ."?. j .2';,; '

A way to provide greater rev

primary ballot a 'charter amend
ment which would permit lhe two-
mill special fire tax fund to be

When the special two-mill tax
was voted by Salem citizens it was
understood all proceeds were to be

cnently .proceeds from this mill
age tax went into the maintenance
of these stations and the payment
of the men there employed, when
the matter was submitted . to City

CITY REFUSES TO
PAY WATER BILL
Insists Company Must First
Settle for Special tax
Levied on Utility "
The city council , was - In ' a
checklng-up mood last night and
a number of matters of city busi
ness came up for discussion and
action on the floor.
Alderman Watson .Townsend
protested at the payment of 3632
for water for the month of March
to the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company, saying the
check should not be sent the wa
ter company until the latter had
paid $700 in a special tax levied
by the council this year. This tax
was apportioned to each utility
operating in , the city on the ba
sis of business done.
Meals provided for city prison
ers are too expensive, Chris Ko
wlts, alderman, declared, and he
moved that bids be asked for
providing meals for prisoners.
Kbwlts said a good meal should
be obtained now for 25 cents In
contrast to the 35 and 40 cent
price which the city has. been
paying. The motion carried.
Says City Engineer
Has Too Much Help
Kowlts asked that there be a
reduction in personnel, .it possi
ble, in the office of the city en
gineer. Hngh Rogers, engineer,
said the-three assistants in his
office were needed inasmuch as
there was much checking up
work to do and since at least one
of the men did a considerable
amount' of work in the building
inspector's office. The council-
men agreed that the street and
sewer committees should Investi
gate .the situation and make
recommendations - at the next
meeting. v
After considerable debate, the
councilmen voted to spend suffi
cient money to install gas plates
at the. city auto camp In the va
rious cabins there. Alderman S.
A. Hughes justified the .expendi
ture as a means of attracting ad
ditional trade to the camp which
he c characterized as one of the
city's best ' assets. T

, By shoving . the - helm 'hard "to
starboard the board of higher ed
ucation prevented Its good ship
from crashing on the rocks of In
stitutional anarchy. This action
was taken at the meeting of the
board. In Portland yesterday by
the adoption of three resolutions,
which came from the curricula
committee, the committee on uni
fied administration, and the fi
nance committee.
The uniform tenor of the reso
lutions was to order the deans
and directors previously named to
secure the endorsement of the
presidents of the institutions be
fore submitting their reports to
the board committees. In case the
matters affected both campuses,
at Eugene and Corvallls, the deans
or directors must secure the ap
proval of both presidents and in
case the presidents do not agree
the committee concerned will act
as arbiter.
The resolutions were adopted
unanimously and without discus
sion." The effect is to strip the new
deans ..nd directors and the execu
tive secretary of the Independent
authority they have assumed in
effecting the reorganization of
courses, of personnel and of sal
aries.
Deans Raise Havoc
With Institutions
When the board started to gath
er in Portland tor the meeting the
members discovered that the
deans they had named at the last
meeting were' completely Ignoring
the presidents of the institutions.
were reporting to tne executive
secretary at Salem, and were play
ing havoc with the Institutions.
The result was impending chaos.
This was illnstiated fcya tale-
gram from Dean Morse of the law
school at Eugene who complained
that Dean Hoyt of the commerce
school was setting up a course In
business law In the school of com
merce while Morse claimed it be
longed In the law school. Such
conflicts threatened the working
out of the board's plan of unlfl
cation with a minimum of dlssen
slon.
As C. C. Colt of the curricula
committee stated, the committee
members did not feel competent
to pass on the highly technical
nroblems and there were no bet
ter people to do so than the presi
dents. Chairman Burch of the uni
fied administration committee
stated that "inadvertently we have
ignored the knowledge of our
presidents in the last few weeks."
- The director of elementary
teacher training was reouekted to
make his report likewise to the
several committees respecting nor
mal school work. . These reports
are to be competed by the presi
dents In 10 days and the board
will meet again April 2 to an
nounce personnel, courses, and de
cide on the budget.
Military Training
Will htt Restored
Another important decision or
the board was the restoration of
eomnnlsorv military training in
the university and state .college.
Degree granting In military sci
ence however was not reinstated.
This was made on the motion of
