EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES WILLAMETTE VALLEY NEWS by specul correspondent WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1931 WOODBURN LOSES FAMOUS SLOGAN OVER HIGHWAY PAGE TWO STATE DEMANDS ARCH REMOVAL; BLOW EXPECTED Voodburn The woodbum city council jnet In regular session Tuesday night and a letter was read Irom the state highway com mission asking far the removal of the sign across the highway at Woodbum which proclaims to the world -that Woodbum Is the "World's Berry Center," and thus tile blow which has been expected far some time has fallen. The matter was Drought to the attention of the commission by a letter written by John Leek ask ing for permission to erect a seal lidding to repaint the arch. The Hinting was ordered come tune aijb by the chamber of commerce, which was the main factor In the erection of the sign about eight ydars ago. At that time traffic ' conditions were vastly different then they arc today both as to the number ot cAs and the speed at which they are driven and. there were no stag ed parking at the Intersection, nor were there any store buildings In that vicinity. The arch has been of great ben eat to the city in advertising and since Its erection the Ray-Brown cannery has been built and Wood burn has indeed become the World's Berry Center." The council Is loath to remove a land mark which has been of such great benefit and Is the last of Its kind on the highway. Many tourists who do not re member the name of the city des ignate It as "the place where the sign Is across the highway," and make it their objective. In view of the fact that the chamber of commerce was Instrumental In se curing the erection of the arch and raising the money both for Its initial cost and maintenance, It was the opinion of the council that they should be consulted In the matter before any action Is taken, and on motion the letter was re furred to that body for considera tion. The fire board reported an In vestigation Into the prices and merl's of fire equipment for serv ice outside the city limits add It was ascertained that the cost would be 'around 11000 for any thing which would be of value. After some discussion it was de cided that unless financial aid was forthcoming from the farming community that It would be Im possible for the city to go to this expense and that the better policy would be to spend a less amount of money in fixing over the old chemical truck. No definite action was taken. It was decided upon motion that tile city scarify East Lincoln street in preparation for oiling, the prop erty owners to purchase and apply the oil. This matter was brought up at the last meeting by Dr. Ger ald Smith, who requested that the city put the street in shape for Ihe oil, and stated that money had been subscribed by the property owners to purchase oil. A resolution was read relative to municipal research work which was sponsored by the LeaRue of Ore gon Cities and asking for the establishment of a bureau of mu nicipal research at the University of Oregon. The resolution was laid on the table as the best means of disposing ot It as the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the said bureau would mean only another Jat Job for somebody. Henry Chapelle, who was pres ent, inquired whether or not the dry would be liable In a damage suit in case of an accident caused by negligence In allowing cars to park on the wrong side of the street at gas stations, and stated that this practice was increasing. Mayor Broyles stated that the mat ter would be Investigated. The unsiiihtly condition o? the alley was brought up by Council man Clark and the street commis sioner was instructed to see tliut this condition is remedied. -Many small matters were touched upon in the general talk and bills ior the month were examined and approved.
