WOODBURN The Woodburn
city council ; met Tuesday. Mayor
Austin and member? of the coun
cil received a telegram from
Washington, DC, which carried the
news that the WPA admimstra
tion lias approved an ; allotment
of $22,620 lor city wide project at
Woodburn to improve streets.
Operation of this project ' within
discretion of the state works prog
ress administration.
The project originally asked for
by the city called for about $35,
000, but part of it to be used for
cleaning out drainage ditches was
disapproved. " ';
The part that has been approved
includes improvement of Hard
castle avenue and Catch street,
construction of a new tennis court
at Library Square, and the put
ting in curbs and sidewalks in
needed parts of Woodburn. It will
be between four to eight weeks
before the project is expected to
get under way.
The council disallowed a remon
strance that had been filed against
the proposed improvement , of
new curb on Gatch street This was
done after names signed to the
remonstrance had been compared
with a complete ' list of Gatch
street property owners.
Under . WPA regulations, - the
government pays only for the la
bor; cost of the material has to
be met locally. Local funds needed

MILL CTTY- Three weeks more
of Red, Cross first aid instruc
tion remain for the 10 members
of the Mill City .volunteer fire
department who are taking a 10
weeks course from Chet Roak,
of the state highway department
Salem. ; . . : ' ' . '
' Men taking the 20-hour course
are John j. Dawes, Estel Swan,
Thomas R. Smith, Alva Anderson,
Darrell Anderson, J. O. Herron,
John B. Herron, Orville "Brosig,
Tex Blazek and Stanley Chance.
The Red Cross training for Mill
City firemen marks another step
forward in the improvement of
the Mill City fire department in
this 'largest, unincorporated town
in the United States," as It has
often been designated. Three years
ago there was no fire protection
for the city's 1100 residents.
Under the" rural fire protection
act, empowering communities to
name five directors and collect
four-mill tax for fire protection
in unincorporated districts, the
Mill City fire department was or
ganized a year ago. Because Mill
City is, on both aides of the North
Santiam river, and thus is in both
Marion ' and Linn counties, two
separate districts had to be formed.
A WPA appropriation was made
to build a $4000 fire halL and the
districts now have a 1 ton fire
truck with1 a 450-gallon front end
pumper, a portable booster pump
and a 300-gallon booster tank.
They sold $2100 in bonds, which
are being paid off wlthla xat
years.. ' ; i-.
