TUESDAY. APRIL 21, 1931 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON PAGE SEVEN FIRE ENGINE IS ELECTED BY CITY COUNCIL The Salem city council Monday night elected a new pumper for the (Ire department. For the first time, perhaps. In the history of the coun try a fire engine was elected directly by ballot, with six candidates In the field and without regard to bids. A Mack pumper was chosen on the third ballot, receiving a majority of the votes cast by a margin of ouc vote. 60 that It will not be necersary for the fire department committee to close the branch fire stations In east, north and south Salem the council voted to transfer $20,000 from the department special tax fund to the maintenance fund to be used for salary payments. This was done over the protest of some mem bers who considered it Illegal not withstanding an opinion by City At torney Trindle. When all the bids had been open ed for a new fire pumper It was found that six firms were bidding, and some of these had submitted as many as seven bids each. Alderman Dancy, chairman of the fire depart ment committee, immediately moved that they be referred to the com lttee for report at a later date. Al dermen Kuhn and Patton, the other council members on the committee, realised that they would be unable to agree with Dancy and Fire Chlel Hutton and that the committee would be hopelessly deadlocked, so they asked that the controversy be thrown back on the council ana ae elded at once. Kuhn moved that the council go Into recess to await the committee's report. When the committee reported back Dancy stated Uiat It could not agree, so had decided to throw th decision back on the council He said that he and the file chief were still In favor of the Seagraves machine as they had been two weeks pre vlounly, this being the lowest bidder for the type of punijwr they desired, the bid being $11,500. Alderman Patton said that he feared that the fire department was becoming top-heavy with equipment and tliat for a time the city had gone hog wild on buying fire en gines. There was a pumper lor ev ery 6000 persons in the city, he said On all three ballots the aldermen voted for the Mack, American La France and Seagraves pumpers, the Arens-Fox. Peter Plrsch and Howe machines falling to get any votes. On the first ballot the Mack got five, the American La France five and the Seagraves two votes, one mem ber not voting. On the second ballot the result was the same. On the third the Mack got seven, the Am erican La France three and the Sea graves three. The price of the Mack chosen was $13,390, but by leaving out the wa ter tank attachment It Is cut $500 to $12,850. The price of the Sea graves voted on was $11,500, and the American La France $13,500. The result of the vote leaves the mayor and the city recorder In mak ing the contract free to buy either a centrifugal or a rotary gear machine an the prices are the same.

When Alderman Daney's resolu tion tor transfer of $20,000 from the (ire tax fund to the maintenance fund was Introduced City Attorney Trindle was prepared with an opin ion as to the legality of the transfer, basing it on the state budget law The opinion was questioned by Al derman Kowlti, and Trindle ex plained that the next budget would have to take care of the reimburse ment, and he recommended that the chaiter be amended to make the tax fund applicable to maintenance. Alderman O'ilara was of the opin ion that it was unconstitutional to transfer money from a special to a general fund. However, no one voted against the resolution. Preceding the vote Dancy declared that It would be necessary, without question, to close the outside stations If the transfer were not made MAYOfSVETO NOT SUSTAINED The city council Monday night re fused to sustain Mayor Gregory's veto of tlie firecracker ordinance, passing the measure over his veto by a unanimous vote. The ordinance was first drawn to prohibit the shooting of firecrackers and other noise-making devices any where In the city limits. But as it passed two weeks ago It applies only to fire zone No. 1, which is the downtown business district. The mayor vetoed the measure for the reason that It was limited In Its application. One ordinance bill of more than ordinary interest was Introduced. It would provide for the abatement of nuisances caused by barking dog;, bawling cows or any ether noisy ani mals within the city limits. It will be voted on at the next meeting. The city planning and zoning commission submitted a recommen dation that a stop sign be Installed on Waverly street at Court. It was referred to the police committee. The 6treet committee sent hi a rec ommendation that a certain amount of parking be done away with on Waverly and Twellth streets to get away from the traffic danger in that 1 64 4-H CLUBS 1572 MEMBERS IN 17 PROJECTS A checkup of 4-H clubs and mem bers In the county as Just completed by County Club Leader Fox show a total of 104 clubs, covering 17 dif ferent projects with a total of 1572 members.
