agencies, but could be detrimen
tal in police work.
Fordham Insisted that the la-1
boring man should have some
right of appeal, if he is subjected
to injustices, and that he did not
feel any department head should
be "a little tin god." Mayor Sex
ton pointed out that the city man
ager is in the same relative posi
tion as a city policeman, in that
he can be removed with or with
out cause at the discretion of the
commission.
Misfits Feared
Sexton and Nelson took the
stand that, under civil service, it
would be possible for misfits to
disrupt the department, with the
chief having no authority to oust
them without appeal to the civil
service board. About 20 former
policemen, who could not get
along with the associates in other
towns, and thus were released,
have applied for positions on the
Bend department in recent
months, it was explained. Under
civil service these men, if they
passe"d among the first three in
civil service examinations, would
be eligible for police jobs here.
even though local men also were
seeking the positions.
Put to a vote on Fordham's
motion, seconded by Baer, civil
service lost, 5 to 2. Only Ford-
ham and isaer voted lor the mo
tion. Commissioner Ralph Bailey
said he was voting against the
"form" of the motion, and might
have voted otherwise if it had
been worded differently.
Paul Rukaveno asked the conv
mission to advertise for sale, to
the high bidder, a triangular sec
tion of ground at the northeast
corner of the former O'Donnell
field. He promised to erect two
warehouses on the site, if he is
the successful bidder.
On motion by Baer, seconded
by Nelson, the commission de
cided to advertise the property
for sale, with two restrictions to
be included in the deed. First, the
initial warehouse must be com
pleted within two years, and see
ond, the warehouse may not be
used for a farm Implement house,
Rukaveno agreed to these stipu
lations.
Drost Given Authority
The commission autho r i z e d
Percy Drost to use his discretion
in letting contracts for petroleum
products, alter Drost had explain
ed that the Shell company was
low bidder on the city gasoline
contract, at a price of 20.99 cents
a gallon. General Petroleum had
bid low on the diesel contract, at
12.9 cents a gallon, but Shell had
agreed to meet any other diesel
bids. If it obtained the gasoline
coftract. ,.
Baer again raised the question
of banning delivery of gasoline in
side the Bend city limits by clip
per trucks. Fire chief LeRoy
Fox, asked to comment on wheth
er or not these deliveries consti
tute a fire hazard, declined to
take a position. Rather, he in
sisted, all angles of the situation
should be explored by the com
mission, at a session devoted to
this topic, if Bend finally decides
to make a move in the gasoline
situation. The commission drop
ped the subject at this point.
Nelson complained that the
rifle club had not lived up to an
agreement to move its range, and
that persons living near the West
14th street range were complain
ing. Mayor Sexton commented
that the club will have to get
the promised new lcoation or
"close up."
Water Exchange Approved
Drost reported that he and Au
brey Perry met recently with di
rectors of the Tumalo irrigation
district, and had worked out a
mutually agreeable basis for wa
ter exchange, in event the city
finds it necessary to build a dam
to obtain additional water. Such
an agreement also will be accept
able to the state engineer, Drost
said he had been advised.
At present, driling of the city
test well is continuing, with the
shaft now down 300 feet and
drilling in very hard rock, Drost
reported. He asked and receiv
ed permission to spend up to
$1,000 for engineering work on
the Tumalo creek dam site, in
event that the well projects fail.
In response to a question con
cerning the possible installation
of meters, if new water sources
prove too costly, City attorney
Ross Famham reported that this
could be done without the neces
sity of calling a city election.
This could be accomplished by
resolution, rather than ordinane,
Farnham explained.
CARS IN ACCIDENT
Cars owned by T. J. Cranford
and H. C. Toibert, both of Bend,
were involved in an accident on
West 14th last night, according
to information on file in the local
police station. Both cars, one of
them parked, suffered consider
able damage.

been obtained to make possible
the signing of contracts with the
low bidders.
3 Categories
Bids opened on Nov. 1 were re
ceived in three different listings

Nash Displays
'Sample Auto
New York, Jan. 5 UBNash
Motors displayed a new small
convertible to the buying public
today to find out how many per
sons would buy such a car to
sell for less than $1,000.
Nash said it has no plans at
present to build the sleek, for
eign looking car, which it has
named the NX-1. The company
will exhibit it in several large
cities where 250,000 persons will
be asked to fill In questionnaires
about the car.
The two-seater model could be
powered with either of three Ital
ian or English engines, develop
ing from 18 to 36 horsepower
with a top speed of 65 to 70 miles
an hour.
George W. Mason, president of
Nash-Kelvlnator, emphasized that
the car was not an attempt "to
invade the large volume auto
mobile market." He said the car -was
expected to have a special
ized appeal as a second family
car, or a car for young persons
and women.
