allocations.

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the many ordinances repealed in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.
