OREGON STATESMAN CLASSIFIED Phone 2-2441 Appointment to Board Tied Up In City Council (Story also on page 1) Choice between Kenneth C. Per ry and Monroe Cheek to fill a va cancy on the Salem civil service commission deadlocked the city council Monday night. Action to elect s civil service commissioner was put off until the May 9 council meeting after four secret ballots failed to muster the required five votes for either candidate. Six aldermen voted, with Mayor R. L. Elfstrom and Al derman Howard Maple absent. The vote was a tie on first ballot and 4-2 in favor of Perry on the other three. Perry, druggist and former coun cil member, was nominated by Alderman Albert Hi Gille. Cheek, service station operator, was nom inated by Alderman Thomas Arm strong. The open position was re signed recently by Lyle J. Page. The council rejected bids on ready-mixed concrete for this sea son's street construction, after Al derman Daniel J. Fry labeled as a strange coincidence" the report that three local firms bid at $11 a cubic yard and then drew straws to determine who would be eligi ble for the contract Fry declared the city should take all steps in its power to insure competitive bid ding. City Manager J. L. Franzen said a drawing was customary in case of tied low bids and City Engin eer J. H. Davis said the price is a standard one for six-sack concrete. The total amount needed by the city would cost about $11,000 un der the bids. Commercial Sand and Gravel Supply won the draw ing with Walling Sand and Gravel and River Bend Gravel compan ies. The council accepted, however, the lone bid on asphaltic concrete under which -Warren Northwest company will charge $8.10 to $8 -40 per ton depending on length of, haul.
