PAGE SIXTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1931 GREGORY VETO EXPECTED ON GARBAGE BILL With eight affirmative votes the city council Monday nlsht approved an ordinance bill granting to the Sanitary Service company an ex clusive franchise to haul garbage on the streets of Salem, and provid ing that the company aha 11 operate the municipal Incinerator without coat to the city. There is apparently no doubt that Mayor Gregory will veto the bill. In a talk from the chair Monday night he opposed It emphatically, and, be sides voicing hla objection to the principal of the bill declared hla be lief that the city charter Inhibits the granting of exclusive franchis ee. It waa also opposed on the floor by Alderman Needham, who said he could see no reason for rejecting a previous proposal that waa almllar except that the concern making the proposal onerra 10 pay the city 3,000 a year for the privilege of op erating the Incinerator. "I understand," said Needham, "that the Incinerator cost the city $40,000. 'The 12,000 a year offered by the other concern would be i per cent on that Investment. I can aee no reason for presenting another concern, under this ordinance, a . 140,000 Investment with no return to the city." Alderman Kuhn replied that the chief merit of the bill waa that It would relieve the city of the ex pense in excess of M.000 a year In operating the plant. Before going to a vote the bill was amended In committee of the whole to provide that the grantees oi tne irancnise could not transfer the franchise to anyone else with out approval of the city council. The approved ordinance reserves to the city the right to fix rates to be charged by the company for the collection and hauling of garbage, and fixes a schedule of rates to be charged at the start. These are practically the same aa those charged at the present tune by the two concerns that under the ordin ance become merged Into one con cem. The bill requires that the com' pany shall give a surety bond of 10,000 to guarantee faithful per' formance of the terms of the Iran-ehlse. The franchise datea from the ef fective date of the ordinance. The city has the right to cancel the franchise at any time it la deter mined that Its terms have been violated by the company.

Bolstered by two heart stimulants, Fall was Immediately taken to the hospital. Dr. J. H. Oambrell, his personal physician, said Fall was In "no condition to be confined.' Some speculation was aroused concerning an act within a few min utes after Fall was committed to the prison. Washington, D. O., of' flclals were notified of the com mitment. Since numerous appeals have been made to the president to pardon Fall, and since a pardon la not granted until a prisoner Is committed, there was a belief cur rent here among those close to the that the notification of his commitment indicated some quick action looking to a pardon.

CHINA FAVORING LOVE MATCHES Pelplng (LP) Three of the highest officials in China, General Chiang Kai-shek, Marshal Chang Hseuh- uang, and Ji. H. Rung, Minister of Industry, have given great Impetus to the movement for "love matches in China. The Chinese press recently re ported that General Chiang had "arranged a marriage between the eldest daughter of Marshal Chang. who la 14, and the eldest son of Kung. But Chu Kwang-mu, Marshal Changs' chief secretary, explains that the press report Is not true. He said that Marshal Chang and Kung both believe in "love matches," and did not arrange a marriage between the young people. It Is true, however, Chu declared, that General Chiang suggested that such a marriage would be a happy one, and that Marshal Chiang's daughter waa Introduced to Kung's son during the Marshal's recent trip to Nanking. This official version of the inci dent haa encouraged youthful re formers, who are fighting the old system of arranging marriages sight unseen" in China.

WAR MADE ON CURB CUTTERS BY ALDERMAN War was declared In the city council session Monday night against motor vehicle service sta tions or any other persons or con cerns who take away public parking space by cutting away street curb ing in the construction of driveways. xrus was started by Alderman Townsend, and, on his motion, City Attorney Trindle was Introduced to draft an ordinance providing that this privilege shall be exercised only on a permit issued by the council, and that the permit shall provide lor a fee and penalty. Townsend called attention to the fact that at the present time this space la taken by anyone desiring it without permission from any au thority, and that in the case of the large service stations parking space Is taken away from the public and utilized for driveways for a dis tance of about a quarter of a block, on two streets if the station hap pens to be on a corner, which it hi' variably Is. Townsend declared that the merchants of the city are com plaining about the condition for the reason that it prevents patrons of the stores from parking their cars in the business district. The motion was objected to by Alderman Paul Hendricks who said he would be agreeable to applying It only in the business district, but that it would be silly business to ap. ply it all over the city. "If every person wno wants to build a drive way Into his garage haa to get i permit from the council to cut the curb," Hendricks said, "we will have flood of applications at every meeting of the council." Townsend's stand in favor of a fee for the privilege of cutting curbs was one way, he said. In which the city might raise a considerable amount of money each year other wise than by property taxation, and ne made a motion, which carried, for a special committee to make a study of possible sources of revenue. Mayor Gregory appointed Town- send, Olson and Evans on the com' mlttee. Queer Waterspout Hums Like Airplane Seattle (LP) pedee trains stopped and looked upward, golfers hesitated in their play, workmen put down their tools momentarily when a musical humming, persisted, and then spectators saw what was gen erally aald to have been one of the most peculiar sights ever seen In the skies hereabouts. A queer cloud, appearing like an "aerial waterspout," descended upon a darker cloud below until the point of the cone seemed to enter the dark cloud and draw Hs sustenance from its interior. The spiral grew larger, while the black cloud diminished in size. Then the cone rose until it dis appeared In a heavy bank of clouds. The humming sound ended with Its disappearance. Observers were unable to tell ex actly what It was, but believed It was in the nature of a cyclone. POWER PLANTS GAIN Stockholm.

That ad wasent worded just exactly like this but the meanin' was exactly the same. Now here's the way it sounded: "Us boys are givin' you folks what comes in this store, good service because we gits a cut outa what we make and naturaly we like to have folks come in soe's we can work on 'e mand sell 'em a lotta stuff that isn't specials, because our boss said that the money is not made sellin' specials and us boys know that anyway. But the fellers in Wall street has to have somethin' to say because they're work in hand in glove weth us boys. That is, they don't actualy work like common folks do. What they do is sit in an office, figure out how to make a lotta money without workin' for it, and they said if our store sends i na lotta prof fits they're gonna give us boys six bits for Christmas some time." Moren likely we will get a letter from that advertisin' man thankin' us for put tin his ad in a language that is correct or and right here's a good place to ac knowledge the many flowery (or maybe it's floury) compliments we've been re ceivin' from everybody on the great improvement in our English and grammar. We're kinda mixed up a bit as to which is English or which is grammar, but we won't deny that there's a big improvement in 'em both. Of course there are some folks that'l say the Improvement has gone far enough. But as a feller told us onced, there are more and more people buyin' foods at the Market, not because the grammar is good but because they can save a little of their hard-earned money without watchin every minit. And that's somethin' considerin the de pressi'n and everything. at the Not a Chain Store Nice weather we're havin', ain't it? A little hot but I guess it's the time of the year f er it Hold on, don't read ' that We musta been thinkin' about some thin' or other.
