Like all Schilling Spices it's richer in the qualities that give flavor and strength. Re member, Schilling Spices have been the standard of comparison for 37 yean n City Dads Approve Parking Tag Reform (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) for making deliveries was referred to the police committee for study. It was suggested that in instances where stores had no alley en trances, loading zones might be es tablished on the street, out tnai double parking would not be tol erated. The plan was advanced as a means of eliminating double parking which, when traffic lights are in operation here, would cause undue congestion of the streets, it was said. In line with the traffic problem, City Engineer W. C. Clubb, Jr., suggested bicycles not be parked on sidewalks or streets, but that the city erect racks on vacant property outside a zone consisting of Willamette and Oak streets from Eleventh to Sixth. The mat ter was referred to police commit-" tee to work out details. It was reported the state may make suggestions for uniform traf fic-regulations following installa tion of the traffic signals and that the city would attempt to conform to these regulations. If none is made, the city will go ahead with the suggestions now before the council. Under the new building code, fire zones will be cut from four to three with building regulations ap plying to the three zones. The ordinance becomes effective In 30 days. The council also directed that after Dec. 15, fire trucks will not respond to calls outside a six mile limit except for industrial fires and then only if the bond re quired by the city has been posted. Mergers Suggested . Two suggestions regarding park, playground and juvenile depart ment mergers were placed before the council. The city school dis trict recommended the playground and juvenile departments be merg ed with a full-time director who would act as juvenile officer dur ing the school term and playground director during the summer months. The council suggested another plan whereby the city park commission, playground commis sion and juvenile department all be merged under one commission with the one director. The pro. posals were referred to the chair men of the judiciary, park and playground committees, Fred Lamb, C. C. Page and Arthur Hen- dershott for investigation. It was pointed out that the latter plan could be adopted without changes in the city budget. The council approved an ordi' nance repealing a number of obso lete ordinances and another ordi nance which takes the place of the many ordinances repealed in the plan to codify city ordinances as being prepared by the League of Oregon Cities. ' Petition Presented A petition presented by city bak' ers asking that house-to-house peddlers of bread be required to take out peddlers' licenses, was referred to the judiciary commit tee. Rooming house licenses of two establishments on East Broadway, recently raided and closed as houses of prostitution, were re voked by the council. Louis Koppe, councilman-elect from the third ward, attended the meeting and was introduced by Councilman Hendershott, whom he will succeed after the first of the year.
