i an: eel bv th on va P to tli tli at la IX ai gi P o ID h si a V fa a b S NUISANCE ON STATE STREET WILL BE CURBED Motorists who lor years have to erated the nuisance of an exceed' lngly high curb on the south side of State street between Commercial and Liberty, which had put many a front bumper out of Joint, are to be relieved. The city council last night, on motion of Alderman Cuy- ler Van Fatten, authorized the con structlon of a step along, the curb line which will make the parking of cars more convenient. In the same operation the coun ell authorized the street commls. sloner to fill in any driveways across sidewalks that are no longer in use, and to remove the old hitch' lng ring that is anchored in the sidewalk on South Commercial street near the former Journal building. Alderman Paul Hendricks believed the ring dated back to the days when the chief of police rode horse, and that the chief tied his mount to the ring. Another Alder. man, however, believed the ring was used by Frank Shuler, saddler and harness man, to tie a wooden horse to. Anyway, the relic Is to be re. moved. The Hollywood Community club sent a communication to the coun cil approving the deal arranged with the Oregon-Washington Water Service company for purchase of the water works. The council voted to reimburse Chief of Police Frank Minto for an expense of $100 on account of the recent course of instruction given police officers. Frank Davey, property owner on Leslie street, questioned the wisdom of the council In approving a change In set-back lines on that street, be tween High and Liberty, to acco modate a garage being built .by Chandler Brown. The reason for asking the change is that the gar age is necessarily located on a hill side and cannot, without difficulty, be set back the regulation 10 feet from the property line abutting the street. The change Is provided for In an ordinance Introduced last night. Two ordinance bills were put In for refunding Bancroft bonds. One calls for $173,000 and the other $29,000. The former was put through three readings and passed. A communication from Dan J, Fry requested deepening of sewer lines at the location of the new $80,000 warehouse In the Trade and Front street district. The present depth Is not enough to accomodate the building. The change was au thorized. An ordinance bill ' that would eliminate the printing , of voters1 pamphlets prior to city elections was killed by Indefinite postpone ment. The council made provision for vacations for the radio operators or the police department. During the rest of the year they are to have two days off a month and a week's vacation In addition.

Cunningham yesterday Indicated that data wanted by the utilities committee of the city council In or der to prepare a water bond ordi nance are In shape to give the com mittee the needed Information.

The trainer ran to a pole In the center of the grounds, and attempt ed to climb out of reach of the en raged bull.

OREGON HOT WORDS AS TRAFFIC CODE IS DISCUSSED Hot words were exchanged at the city council meeting last night over Alderman Cuyler Van Patten's traf flc code bill. Van Patten accused Alderman Fred A. Williams, chair man of the ordinance committee, of holding back the bill deliberately, and termed as disgraceful a hear ing given the bill a week ago Mon day night. The bill has been pending many weeks. When Williams last night asked for two more weeks in which to consider the bill Van Patten made his attack and questioned Williams' motives. "Tliis Is the third time he has asked for delay," Van Fatten said, "and there is no excuse for it. think Alderman Williams is holding it up for no good reason. Only to day two truck men hinted that they had been asked to protest the bill. The attempted hearing given the bill two weeks ago was an absolute farce." Van Patten moved that the bill be withdrawn from the ordinance com mittee and placed on final passage, any necessary amendments to be taken care of at another time. "i don't like Alderman Van Pat ten's insinuations," Williams said "I don't like to call a man a liar, bat I am capable of doing that." Williams gave as one reason for the delay the recent automobile acci dent in which he received eye in juries. Van Patten's motion carried, but after discussion, and on account of the late hour and the length of the bill, Alderman Walter Fuhrer mov ed that it be made a special order, together with proposed amend ments, at 8 o'clock next Monday night when the council Is to meet in adjourned session. This prevailed. As a parting shot Van Patten said: "I want to say further about the public hearing last Monday night tnat Dotn the hearing and the con duct of Alderman Williams were absolutely disgraceful. He tried in every way to make a Joke of the Dill." FEDERAL PLANES WILL TRAIN HERE Government airplanes will be in training at the Salem airport this summer, according to Alderman E. B. Perrine In a report to the city council last night. In preparation tor tne event it Is necessary, Per rine said, to have some improve ments made at tne landing field. on his motion tne airport com mittee was authorized to employ a crew of SERA workers to smooth down some of the rough spots on the field.

M COUNCIL VOTES NOT TO ASK FOR DISPOSAL LOAN The city council last night defi nitely killed for the present the proposal to apply for a public works administration loan for a sewage disposal plant in Salem. A letter from C. C. Hockley, state engineer for the PWA, was read, staling that the city must imme diately sign a previously suomitted agreement with the PWA or the of fered loan of $366,000 would be re scinded. He asked to be Informed as to the cause of delay. On motion of Alderman Walter Fuhrer a resolution embodying the agreement and authorizing the city authorities to sign It was taken from the table for action one way or the other. The resolution was tabled two weeks ago. Under the terms of the agreement $277,000 of the amount would have been a loan and $83,000 a grant. Alderman Fred A. Williams spoke against it, declaring it unjust to ex pect Salem to Incur the Indebted ness when other cities along the Willamette river were not doing likewise. Alderman Van Patten was against It at present, and Alderman E. B. Perrine said he found most people with whom he had spoken opposed to it. One of the objections to the move was that maintenance of the plant would be by assess ment on the people. Alderman Fuhrer was for adop tion of the resolution, but only Al derman Minto stood with him. All the others voted to kill It. ' In informing the PWA of the council's decision the mayor was in structed, on motion of Van Patten, to explain that Salem is the only city using the river for sewage dis posal that has a disposal plant un der consideration, and that in the future when other cities have sim ilar projects Salem will be willing to cooperate.
