Salem Home
Damaged by
Blaze Sunday-
Damage estimated at close to
$2,000 resulted Sunday when fire
broke out in the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Harry Brown, 1715 S. Win
ter St, firemen reported.
The 3:15 p.m. fire, confined to
a bedroom and a hallway of the
home, was an unwelcome event
on the 41st wedding anniversary
of Dr. and Mrs. Brown.
Firemen said the blaze appar
ently started from a heating pad
in the bedroom. Total damage re
portedly was done to the bed
room, furnishings and clothing
being consumed. The fire also
damaged walls and a rug in the
adjacent hallway, firemen said,
and other parts of the house re
ceived smoke damage.
Firemen were delayed some
what in reaching the scene after
being given an erroneous address
in the first alarm. The erroneous
site was 17th and Wilbur Streets.
Five minutes later, at 3:20 p.m.,
the correct address was received.
Damage to the Brown home
was reported covered by insurance.
Commission were adopted by the
commission at its regular meeting
last Wednesday.
Under the new rules, civil serv
ice workers will te permitted to
campaign or "lobby" for bills
benefitting their status such as
pay raises and hours measures.
However, workers will not be au
thorized to campaign for candi
dates. Previously the regulations
had been interpreted to exclude
any political activity by city em
ployes. "I don't think it was ever the
intent of the rules to limit ac
tivity so sharply," stated William,
J. Entress, chairman of the com-'
mission.
The regulations were revised
also to reflect some of the changes
in the city's constitution voted
when Salem adopted the city man
ager form of government in 1946.
In the old rules both the fire and
police chiefs were included under
civil service.
The Commission declined to
take any action on rules prohibit
ing employes from holding down
a second job while working for the
city.1 There has been considera-'.
ble pressure particularly from fire
men to revise the code to permit
outside employment
Revised code books are being
prepared now for publication by
the city recorder's office.
