Coral - Dial 8107 The Original Yellow Front Candy Special Store of Salem ' ' OLD B PUIID Repeal of Dead Issues on City Books Proposed; Up Monday Night , Moving to clear the city's legal forest of dead timber the ity council Monday night is expected to start on its way an ordinance to repeal a large number of old measures which are. either out of line with the times or superseded by newer ordinances. It also may take its first step to refund its Bancroft improvement bonds with new, lower-interest issues. Among the ordinances to be re pealed are those forbidding swim ming in the city limits, in bath ing suits that do not reach at least from the neck to the knees; regulating the location of certain business; requiring the cutting of thistles, licensing public utili ties and, possibly, restrictions on street car traffic. The thistle, utilities and business ordinances have been succeeded by later or general laws. If the necessary ordinance can be drawn up in time, a bill call ing for the sale of $170,000 worth of improvement bonds will be in troduced and probably passed with the emergency clause, since two of the issues to be paid off must be redeemed April 15 and another May 1. Later bond sales may be attempted to retire issues whose interest-paying dates are May 15 and July 1, respectively. "We expect these new bonds will sell as good as the last is sue," City Attorney Chris Kowitz predicted, referring to the $53,- S(T9.97 worth of "rebonding" bonds sold by the city last month at 13 tents above $100 par and bearing only 3 per cent inter est. Outstanding Bancroft bonds now draw 5 per cent. Although the city will save large sums through refunding its improvement bonds at lower inter est rates, these savings porbably will not be passed on to the prop erty owners who are paying 6 per cent on their assessments. The difference between bond and as sessment interest rates may be retained by the city to make up losses through foreclosure. Inability of the city attorney's office to complete the coordin ating of the proposed general traf fic code with amendments made to state laws last week probably will prevent .that measure's being in troduced Monday night, Kowitz said. It is sponsored by Alder man Cuyler VanPatten. An ordinance aimed at vegeta ble and fruits stands, forbidding tbe washing and cleaning of vege tables ou the sidewalks and streets, will be introduced Mon day night. Another ordinance to be proposed would make minor amendments to the hot air heat ing code passed last month. Vehicle License Gains Reported Motor vehicle registrations in creased five and one-half per cent in Oregon the first two months of 1935 over 1934, a report is sued yesterday by the motor ve hicle division of the secretary of state's office. The increase in fees amounted to seven per cent. The total number of vehicles licensed is 25,074, compased to 222,343 a year ago. Fees increased to $1, 5S9.J3 4 from a total of $1,4S5, 239 a year ago. Chimney Blaze City firemen responded to an alarm from 4 25 North Cottage street just before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

C. hock ley, PWA engineer for Oregon, has advised Mayor V. E. Kuhn by letter in reply to Kuhn's written inquiry and a similar question put in person at Portland Thurs day by Alderman Cuyler VanPat ten, chairman of the special com mittee on the disposal project. "Nineteen allotments have been made since the first of the year and to date we have received loan and grant covering ten of these, the first of these being received February 19, and the last March 4," Hockley wrote. "These agree ments are being prepared and sent out as rapidly as tbey can be prepared at Washington. We expect yours will be sent soon but we can not name any definite date. We have wired Washington to ask that it advise us as def initely as possible at this time. We will notify you when we re ceive a reply: We regret that we can not give you a more definite reply at this time." Kuhn said he would communi cate further with Hockley in the hope of speeding preparations to build the proposed $360,000 plant and sewerage additions. Income Tax Paid Early This Year Income tax receipts in Oregon are running as much as 60 per cent ahead in volume of money paid to the returns of a corre sponding date last year, the state tax commission reported yester day. The commissioners would not state whether this indicated materially improved business had brought up taxes for 1934, point ing out that no such conclusions could be reached until the bulk of the returns were in. April 1 is the final date for the payment of state income taxes. The same rates and exemptions are in ef fect this year as in 1934. Sweet Shop is Given Complete Renovation SUBLIMITY, March 16.

Gov ernor Martin in a telegram receiv ed here yesterday. Ickes. wired in answer to a question put to him by Represent atives Oleen, Hosch and Harrison, who sought to know if placing of state-owned power lines on tax rolls "will injure prospects of se curing PWA fuuds for loans to Oregon to build transmission lines." The federal administrator re fused to give a categorial answer to iha inquiry. He added: Esti mated net receipts and revenues of rural electric lines might be decreased by reason of tax levies. Of course, the question of tax ex emption is a matter of state pol icy. My only purpose is to sub mit for your consideration fact that credit of state Is not .pledged for the bonds of any utility dis trict authority but are payable solely from revenues." Ickes' ' telegram came too late to affect legislation on utilities before the 38th session. Is House Bill 42 8, creation of a state pow er district, financed by self-liquidating bonds was provided for When the senate got the hill it drew a new measure, Senate Bill 404, and included in that bill a provision that any power district created by the state must bear its ratable share of state and subdi vision taxes. Senator Burke tried unsuccessfully to get this clause stricken from the bill. With the tax-clause in the measure, there was little senate opposition, many senators feeling it would be im possible for the state-owned util ity, to pay taxes and at the same time pay the interest and prin cipal on the entire costs of con structing the project. Oleen, Hosch and Harrison, rather than await Ickes' answer, concurred in the senate bill when the latter came back to the house. The measure is still before the governor for approval or veto. Ashenbrenner Is Arrested; Must Serve Out Fine Rearrested by city police yes terday, Joseph Ashenbrenner, who lives near Salem, was sent to the city jail to serve out a $10 fine for being drunk which he had promised to pay February 16, Municipal Judge Jones reported. Unless he can pay the fine he will be kept in jail five days. Judge Jones sent police after Ashenbrenner, declaring "These fellows are going to find out they can't run out on this court when it gives them a little leeway."

L PUT Oil DISPLAY HERE - An exhibit of Angora rabbits and of finished sweaters, blouses and neckties made from rabbit wool has attracted attention the last two days, at the Petland, South Commercial street. A. S. Washburn, Fairview ave nue, Salem, and a number of other rabbit raisers have brought their products to the. store for persons interested in rabbit-raising to see. Washburn, who came to Salem four years ago from Colorado, has developed an extensive rabbit trade, raising a number of other varieties in addition to the An goras, which are his specialty. He reports that a pool of wool from Angora rabbits here is being talk ed, with a Portland distributor willing to undertake marketing the wool when 1000 pounds or more can be obtained. Angora rabbit wool sells at around $5 a pound. Its fineness and warmth make it especially de sirable for babies' garments and for other uses where a very fine yarn is desired. Yarns spun from Angora rabbit wool produced in the Salem area are produced at Eugene, Wash burn said. A good Angora rabbit will pro duce one pound of wool a year, being sheared four times to ob tain that amount. PARKING LIMIT 10 BE Mr. Motorist, watch those time parking signs tomorrow. Mayor V. E. Kuhn yesterday reiterated his announcement that beginning Monday city police would "start checking cars and checking them consistently and methodically." Earlier tagging for overtime parking was with held because of the large num ber of visitors here for the leg islative session. Speaking for himself and the council police committee, the may or said: v "It is not our intent to work particular hardship cn anyone. We are only anxious ,to enforce the law for' the best Interests of everyone concerned. We'd like to see cooperation! on the part of th public but it has proven in the past that half-way measures are inadequate and it now be comes necessary to enforce the law as It is written." The administration has further determined "to follow up these tags and recommend that where tagged motorists fall to appear in municipal court they be assessed extra cost for collection of fines," the mayor added. Municipal Judge Jones said he was holding a large :.umber of traffic tags and" would hold them a reasonable time longer but thereafter would turn them over to police for collection of fines and add collection costs.

In quiry was made following an nouncement here that rebates would-be offered by Maf ion coun ty until March 20,; Sheriff A. C. Burk, who made the announcement Friday that rebates would be continued for a short time, said he had made the announcement to accomodate a few taxpayers who had called him earlier, in the week and had said they would be delayed a few days getting to Salem to make their tax settlements. Burk said payments had drop ped off very heavily yesterday due to the fact that Friday was the last day in which rebates were al lowed under the Oregon statute on the last three-quarters of the 1935 tax payments. Complete Audit Made in 1914 to Aid Present One A month's time may be saved in making the complete audit of the city's records, now in prog ress, as the result of the discov ery of an audit made in 1914. it was revealed yesterday by Alder man W.
