Reports From
Hbefer Fire
Sirs 'large
Woodburn Council
Blames Railroad - "
For Delay
WOODBURN Charges that
firemen were delayed In answer
ing .the call to the : Hoefer axe
handle factory Friday night due
to traffic being held up at the
Southern Pacific railroad cross
ing flared up at a meeting of -the
Woodburn city council Tuesday
night ' .
Hoefer testified . that . trainmen
did their best to clear the way
but had held up traffic for about
15 minutes before the call to the
fire department went through, so
should .not have been blocking
traffic that , much longer.
The plant, the Valley Manu
facturing company; was damaged
to the extent of $10,000. It was
the only plant in the northwest
i r j ji ..
producing sauuies, surrups, con
veyor rollers and other equipment
for use in war industries in the
Pacific area.
Council members after some
debate moved to ask payment
from the Southern Pacific for
damage done to a fire hose when
an engine ran over it. As one
crew of trainmen had been told
about the fire, and location of
the hose, and had been delegated
to spread the warning to the other
crews, councilmen concluded that
it was negligence on the part of
the railroad employes which' caus
ed the damage to the equipment.
Discussed also was a plan for
raising the standard of upkeep at
the city hall. j
