Local News Briefs ' History Traced While some form of insurance against" the risks of life and business has ex isted since 3000, B. C, it is only in comparatively recent years that insurance has reached its present highly specialized form, according to Tom Morrow, claim supervisor of " the Northern Life Insurance, company of Seattle. Morrow spoke to the Salem Kiwanis club yester day noon. Fraud in insurance companies, which rocked many of the larger companies a few de cades ago, was nothing new his torically, Morrow said, for insur ance was abilished in the days of Julius Caesar since its promoters converted assets to their own use.

Woolpert & Legg Drugs Liberty and Court Phone 3444 PUMPING STITIOII TO GETIH ROOF Van Patten Seeks to Avoid Damage to Equipment; Other Changes Eyed Manager Cuyler Van Patten will not run the risk of rain damaging water department equipment in the main pumping station he indi cated yesterday in setting a crew of men at the task of reroofing the structure. The private water company, which allowed the roof to deteriorate to the point where daylight showed through numer ous cracks, had stretched tarpau lins over important equipment such as the high voltage electric switch boards. A . few drops of water reaching these switches and cables could have caused a verita ble explosion that might have re sulted in serious consequences, Van Patten said recently. Among other changes, Van Pat ten also is looking for a buyer for the 120 horsepower steam engine used many years ago to drive one of the big pumps, and its two boilers. None of these pieces., of equipment has been used for sev eral years. Van Patten hopes to sell them for at least enough to pay the moving charges and make storage room for equipment and space for the meter testing depart ment. The city council Monday night gave the water commission spe cial permission to build a corru gated iron garage at the rear of the water offices to house the department's four trucks and one sedan, which now are kept at nights in rented garage space. The new garage would save $25 a month rental charges. So that the water department may continue to buy gasoline at wholesale rates, a storage tank and pump are soon to be install ed. At present the water depart ment is buying gas from the city's pump behind the city hall. Needed Slash in Budget is Not so Great, Revealed A rechecking of budget items tentatively agreed upon by the city budget committee Monday night revealed yesterday the com mitteemen had exceeded the amount permissable under the 6 per cent limitation by $1239.28 instead of by $6000 as it at first appeared. Demands at the next meeting, September 3, however, will still force the committee to do considerable juggling of the various items to bring the hud get within the legal limit and yet provide necessary appropriations. The committee Monday night appropriated $231,769.70 for op erating expenses, of which ap proximately $20,000 will be paid from estimated receipts for the year 193 6. This leaves the appro priation to be raised by taxation at $211,769.70 while the total per mitted under the state budget law is $210,530.42. The latter amount consists of the 1935 operating expense tax plus 6 per cent. Honors Extradition Governor Martin Tuesday authorized the ex tradition of Dane Stockton, who is wanted in Stevens county, Kan., on a charge of first degree rob bery. He is under arrest at Med ford.

Same Woman Aids Tourist Going, Return That Mrs. Claudia Benson of the Salem branchy Oregon State Mo tor association, has eclipsed tbe Dionne Quintuplets as a wonder of nature, was the thought ex pressed by one bewildered motor ist at the California Pacific In ternational Exposition recently. Calling at the Salem office for maps and road information to San Diego, prior to Mrs. Benson's has ty departure to the fair city, she outlined a trip via the valley route for him. To secure information about a different route back north, the gentleman sought advice from the Shell Travel Information building, where Mrs. Benson is now head quartered. Imagine his surprise when he was confronted by the same smiling young woman who routed him there. "For gosh sakes, are you twins?" was the remark, and, upon leaving he added, "I'm go ing to New York on my vacation next year. I'll look you up when I get there."
