SCIO City revenue - from
dances was given attention by the
council this week. Recent action in
advancing . license , charge from
$1.50 to $10 for each dance given
within the city created divergent
viewpoints.
, Council considered the new fee
something like commensurate with
conditions : with which ?- the city
law - enforcement contingent is
confronted, it was declared this
week by a council member. -;.
Disorderly conduct incident to
dance and other public entertain-
. men t functions in recent months
was istrumental In the council's
action in undertaking more strict
regulation. Salary of the city mar
shal, who is also water superin
tendent, ; was increased - from $35
to $100 per month in the hope of
adequate policing. . -'
Attention was given ' also at a
meeting of the council this week to
the matter of a curfew ordinance
for better regulation of young peo
ple in the city. Fire hazards loom
ed when it was related that young
boys had been guilty of careless
. handling of matches. Conviction of
these children promises to prove
expensive for parents, in the opin
ion of members who expressed
themselves on the subject.

i Neptune Company
Allows Year to Pay Off
I Meter Installations .
SCIO Extension of a year has
been granted the city of Scio by
the Neptune Meter company in the
former's obligation in . connection
with installation of meters in the
city water system a year, ago, it
w;as learned this week at the Aug
ust meeting of the city council.,
- Increased cost of labor and ma
terials ' was instrumental in ad'
vancing the total expense of in
stallation' to approximately , $1400,
whereas original estimates placed
the amount at less than $1000.
Payment of the, first year's inter
est charge at 4 per cent is a con
dition of the deferred payment ar
rangement, i-tt'-The
meter system was believed
to . be a solution of inequalities
attending operation under the flat
rate policy, and it was also esti
mated by the council that the new
system, in vogue in many Oregon
towns of Scio 's class, would com
paratively soon justify itself by in
creasing revenues to the city. . -
Claims against the city in the
approximate sum of $275 were or
dered paid. Mayor A. '"Withers
presided. Other officials attending
included Councilmeh Cain, Denni
son, Funk, Haines and Jones; mar
shal and water superintendent L.
Kruml; and Joe Lytle, recorder,
who had just ! returned from a
three-months leave of absence.
