Stocks Break
Streak -With
Minor Losses
By Winiam D. Horraa
NEW YORK. I Aug. 23-UPV-A
4 week-long winning streak was
broken in the stock market today,
Losses : of fractions to around
points piled up on slim turnover.
The decline, on the average,
was one of the widest in the past
month or so.
Downward tendencies develop
ed almost immediately after the
opening bell but for while prices
neia their ground fairly well.
Later in the day selling pressure
against .the nil group spread and
quotations descended. Buying sup
port faded away l to a whisper.
Volume picked up considerably
during the 3 final hour, when
large part of the day's losses were
registered. Turnover for the day,
however, amounted to only 630,000
shares, compared With 710,000
Friday. i I
Trading remained largely a pro
fessional affair while a mood of
extreme caution continued to dic
tate market policy.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks declined .7 of one point
to 68.3, the first setback since a
week ago Friday. Only 185 issues
advanced while 504 declined.

minutes after the opening, when
it appeared the steady., slump in
cereals finally had run into re
sistance. The ... market rallied
briskly in a good trade. Corn and
oats rose above last Saturday's
close. Wheat, except July, also
firmed. $
For a time the market held at
the rally's peaks. Then, once
again, it went into a dive, drop

lows. f

Gty Council Amends Peddlers
Bill; Street Vacations Delayed
(Story also on page 1.) .
Action on city legislation to regulate peddlers, solicitors and can
vassers' and to assess benefitting property when streets or alleys are
vacated was delayed Monday night by the Salem city council in the
face of opposition and doubts expressed by several aldermen. ,
Already deferred the past several meetings, the "peddler bills'
were amended Monday night to reduce the amount of license fees and
remove some of the investigation
for licenses. Alderman Howard
Maple proposed the amendments,
most of which had been requested
by the Salem Retail Trade bureau.
I Alderman Albert H. Gflle mov
ed that the amended bills be en
grossed before final action, and
charged that the bills "have been
liberalized beyond benefit to
householders or the city at large.'
Principal changes made were re
moval of requirements for physi
Ican examination and statement of
police record and reduction of fees
by stipulating the suggested week
It fees in various categories be
changed to annual fees. Daily fees
were unchanged.
Both Gille and Maple joined in
opposing the bill seeking to cm
oower the city td assess agains
property abutting a street or alley
vacated by the city, lees which
equal the benefit derived by the
property, Gille said ne xeii tne city
has been vacating too much prop
erty which it will one day have
to buy back. The bill was de
ferred until the September 13
meeting and City Attorney Chris
Kowitz was instructed to bring in
a formal opinion on its legality,
City Manager J. I. Franzen
was directed to confer with
George Paul us of the Fauius
Brothers cannery relative to sewer
service rental charges against
which the cannery lodged a for
mal protest Paul us notified coun
cil members that the plant's serv
ice charge is expected to average
S387 a month (based on l47
water use), compared witn uai
rates which have been granted to
California Packing Corp. cannery
at $150 monthly, Starr Fruit pro
ducts $22.50 and Re id Murdoch
$15. The complaint also alleges
the new Paul us cannery installed
garbage disposal system at
cost of $40,000 to cooperate with
city sewage disposal plans xor
which the sewer service charge
was instituted as a source of rev
enue. This system removes solids
before the garbage enters sewers,
whereas most canneries dump
their carbaee entirely into sewers
or directly into the river, Paulus
stated.
Franzen told the council that the
charge against Paulus cannery was
commited on the basis establish
ed by ordinance, according to the
amount of water used and depos
ited through city sewers. Flat rates
are authorized by the council
where little of the water con
sumed is returned through the
sewers, he pointed out. He sug
gested that the Paulus business
might alter their plant to provide
runoff of some water via drain
age ditch rather than city sewers.
Portland General Electric tso.
also appealed td the council for
relief from city sewer charges
which were reported to reach a
total of $22 a month when it oc
casionally becomes necessary for
the firm to use f city water xor
transformer cooling purpose:. The
council authorized a $1 flat rate
at the recommendation of City
Engineer J. I. Davis who said the
only sewer use at the transformer
station is through a small lavatory.

ences with the state highway de
partment on possible widening of
North Capitol street. The city has
proposed the highway be widened
between Court and the Mill creek
several blocks north. Gille said
last night the state had indicated
an interest in establishing a four
line street through Hollywood dis
trict by prohibiting parking on
North Capitol and also shown in
terest in widening the street north
from the underpass to city limits.
Opposition to
School Levy
Entered by 21
Twenty-one residents of the
Woodburn-Belle Pwi consolidat
ed school district Monday peti
tioned Marion County Assessor
Roscoe Shelton to refuse to levy
a tax assessment on the district
for the 1948-49 school year.
The levy, totaling $59,320 in
excess 01 tne e per cent limita
tion law, was approved by the
voters in the consolidated district
on August 19. The total levy was
$79,600. It was the third time the
levy was voted on.
Main objections to the levy is
based on contentions that a con
solidated school district may not
exceed the 6 per cent limitation
in its first year levy. The petition
ers contend the merger of the two
districts was made within the past
year.
Assessor Shelton had the mat
ter1 under consideration Monday.

assigned reporting day. On that
