Movie Ordinance To Face Council Shelton Ditcb Diversion Dam Work Also Slated For Discussion Two Questions will probably be threshed out on the floor at the regular meeting of the city coun cil Monday night. One, in the form of an ordinance prepared and presented by Alderman Gert rude F. Lobdell at the September 20 meeting, lri substitute for the movie . censorship bill that was indefinitely postponed, is the pro posal to accept the Portland board of motion picture review's censorship on all .pictures pre sented in Salem, and to prohibit the: sale or acceptance of tickets for admission to show houses after midnight. The other will arise in the form of a report from the sewer age committee on' the Shelton ditch project In the southeast sec tion of Salem. The ditch, accord ing to Alderman Fred A. Wil liams, chairman of the committee on sewers, was constructed with $10,000 in WPA monies on a "gentleman's agreement between county and city. Construction of a diversion dam in the ditch is now neces sary, says Alderman Williams, and as it drains state and county property, as well as city, he Inti mated that they should help stand the expense of construc tion.
