THE WATER SERVICE JEOPARDIZED A city water rforago tank (left in upper picture) acquired last year from the Great Northern railroad to boost pressure in the South Third and Carroll Acres residential areas, was threatened Wednesday afternoon by a fire that crumpled a large oil storage tank at the railroad yards south of B end. A southerly wind carried the billowing smoke away from the water tank, and fire and water department officials ordered forced pump ing into the tank, to overflow the top and reduce heat. The fire was started by a spark from a burning torch, used by a Portland crew engaged in dismantling the oil tank for scrap. Approxi mately two feet of crude oil, no longer used by the railroad now that diesel locomotives have replaced the oil burners, remained in the tank, a nd burned brightly through the nite.

Flood Waters Recede in Texas By UNITED PREKS Flood waters fell back In Wichi ta Falls, Tex., today, but there was no stopping the mounting death and horror in devnHlated Tampico, Mexico. I At Wichita Falls, most of the 500 persons who fled the surging waters of the Wichita River re turned to their homes. More rntns were expected today, but fore casters said they would have to become extremely heavy to send more floods swirling through the city. About 150 city blocks were under water at the height of the flood yesterday, but only alxitit 50 of them were in the residential dis trict. The river itself was expected to no back below flood stage today. But at flood-battered Tampico flood waters held no mercy for an estimated 80,000 homeless per sons. Food supplies were not expected to IfiHl more than a dny and u half longer and the milling refu gees hurl a new horror to deal with hordes of poisonous spakes swarming out of the flood waters onto the few remaining patches of dry ground.

Hie high license fees, in effect, amounted to a franchised opera tion, he said. Commissioner W. M. Loy asked English If he favored limiting the number of gasoline service sta tions, also. English said he was not advocating any particular point of view, just pointing out what I could be done under a franchise type operation. Commissioner T. U. Sexton said he felt the recent competition in the garbage collecting field hud 'put the boys on their toes. I think the people are getting bet ter service now than they were when only two companys were op erating," he said. City to Illume Commissioner Mel Rogers said he felt If the service had been poor on occasions in the past the city government and city commis sion may have been to blame. Wo have iust let things go," he said, "and haven't maintained any supervision over garbage collec tion in Bend." Commissioner Hap Taylor ex pressed agreement with Rogers' point of view. Commissioners also discussed the possibility of garbage- collec tors chardns hltriier fees for their services. Most members 01 tne city's governing body jseemed sny away irom mis owe.
