City Engineer's Staff not
To be Reduced due to
Streets Activity
. PIre stations In north Salem
and sonth Salem will remain open
with skeleton crews, was a deci
sion of the city council at Its
meeting last night, modifying the
council's action of two weeks ago,
when It voted to close the stations
May 1. . '. '..
. Under the new plan the four
men who had been ordered trans
ferred to central station and two
men from east Salem station will
be divided Into ' crews of three
men each for night doty at tie
north and south stations. The
family of one fireman will reside
In each station so soma one will
be around the station at all times.
Men are subject to call when off
duty. In case of fire alarm
Protests from sonth Salem with
peUtlons f lle,d with the council
and a proposal for the new ar
rangement from Councilman
O'Hara representing north Salem
led to the change in plan. Pend
Ins; the revision of program," both
stations remained open Sunday
and Monday though the closing
date had been set for April 30
Beginning today eight mejr will
be dropped but the stations will
not be closed.
One argument whichV swayed
the council was the needVor up
keep of the property and tie 225,-
000 worth of equipment housed is
the buildings.
Proposal For Pay
Slash Not Backed
A proposal to retain all - men
through a general decrease - of
wages recommended: bj Conetl
man Sam Hughes was opposed by
Alderman Vandevort and gained
no support. The savings claimed
nnder the new arrangement are
110,000 per year.
No elimination of employes In
the city engineer's office will be
made at present. The committees
on streets and sewers reported
that since this office now handled
the street commissioner's work
and since this was the busy season
for improvements, no men , could
be dropped now and this report was
adopted.
; City Attorney Trindle recom
mended that the city lease the mu
nicipal airport to the Eyerly cor
poration In order to free the city
from liability for personal Injur
ies. He reported a; vctory for the
.city In the Mollencrop damage
'suit, bnt stated the courts ruled
that under the former contract
with Lee Eyerly which has now
expired he operated merely as the
city's agent, which would make
the city liable in case a claimant
had a Just claim for damages. The
mayor appointed a committee
O'Hara, Evans and Townsend to
work out a lease with Eyerly. The
committee will investigate also a
request for constructing a circu
lar concrete landing marker on
the field. Eyerly reports receipt
of 1287.20 for hangar fees and
$135.25 rentals on ships in han
gar as due the city and asked to
have It spent on a marker to at
tract more plans to alight.
Propose Fee For. ,
Selling; on Street
Selling of merchandise, sup
plies, machinery ' or mechanical
contrivance on the streets of the
city would be curtailed if an or
dinance introduced last night is
adopted. It would require such
vendors to have a license of $150
a month or $300 for three months.
?A resolution was introduced
modifying council rules by author
izing employment of a reading
clerk at the cost of the city re
corder. ;.
