A wide variety of material, of In terest to every taste in reading, was displayed, showing that the city li brary can satisfy young and old and meet the demands of most diversi fied tastes.

COMMITTEE ENDS LIFE BY SUICIDE The historic committee on com mittees of the city council ended its career by suicide lost night. It was a resolution Introduced by the committee itself two weeks ago and adopted Inst night that put an end to the committee, and from now on the appointment of all standing committees will be in the hands of the mayor himself. This will make the procedure of committee appointments as It al ways was until about the middle of the Livesley administration when a wing of the council that opposed many of the policies of the then mayor girded up Its loins and took tile committee-appointing power away from the executive and put it into the hands of a committee on committees. No opposition was registered to abolition of the committee. ''Once this young man was 'going places Then he dropped from the race. Irritable, jumpy. Tired every night.

This prouer 01 funds from the government, for relief of local em ployment, Is something of a god send to Alderman E. A. Daue. When Daue was a candidate for alder man against W. H. Dancy his slog an was "Take the stench from Wil lamette slough." Never before has the alderman or any of his col leagues on the council discovered Just how this could be done. But when civil works projects were be ing listed at the council meeting last night, and when everyone thought everything possible had been mentioned, Daue arose and FEW PEOPLE IN NATION RULERS Amity This country has been handled by 20 percent of the people says Earl Wright, chairman' In charge of the NRA at McMinnvllle, Friday night at the Farmers' Union meeting here. It will be only a short time now until all the people are the United States Instead of Just i percent, was his view.

This said he would like to have the Wil lamette slough added to the list. Smaller projects which are to be included in the city's relief employ ment plans, to be financed by a federal contribution that the city will shortly ask for and hopes to get, are of various nature, covering the whole gamut of skilled and un skilled labor, from clipping twigs off bushes to the finer arts of the car penter's trade. Probably the most important, aside from the slough project, is building a new floor for the central fire station in the city hall. Alder man Olson said plans for the im provement were being prepared. He had estimates that the cost of ma terial would be around $1400 and the labor cost $1200 or $1400. Skill ed labor, by federal ruling, is to be paid around $1.20 an hour and un skilled 60 cents an hour. This Im provement will Include city iail re pairs and possibly a firo drill tower. Improvements on North Commer cial, Winter and Summer streets, I" e clearing out of the beds of Shel- ton ditch, Pringle creek, Oxford ditch, and North and South Mill creek, and various park Improve ments were listed.

OREGON . KOIN REFUSED HIGHER POWE Washington, Nov. 21 (JP) A rec ommendation for denial of the ap plication of radio station KOrN of Portland to increase its day time operating power from 1,000 to 2,500 watts, was made to the federal radio commission today by Examiner Ralph L. Walker. Walker said that while granting the application would permt the station to Increase its day-time service area without objectionable "it would appear if additional fa cilities are to be assigned Oregon, they should not be placed in Port land." The examiner observed that Portland, with less than one-third the population of the state, is now assigned eight-tenths of the state's broadcasting facilities. "While some of the stations lo cated in Portland Include within their good service areas a substan tial number of people In addition to those residing In the city," Wal ker said, "they do not serve eight tenths of the population of the state." Examiner Walker said Oregon and the fifth zone, of which it is a part, both are over their radio facility quotas.
