Council Takes
Offered Deed
At Lebanon
Lebanon Acceptance of the deed
to the Kruml property, killing of
the proposed new sanitary measure
and decision to vote funds for ro
dent control and extermination In
the city were three significant high
light of an Important session of
the Lebanon city council meeting in
the city hall Tuesday night.
The council accepted the deed
from the strawberry festival board
with the agreement to sponsor a
WPA project to develop and im
prove the property and to allow the
board to use the site for the festi
val without charge. Harold Irvlnek
spokesman for the several members J
of the board present, explained there
was no Intention that the property
should replace that at the river bank
which the city has long planned to
make Into a park, but that the area
could be opened to the public at
the council's option.
Cost to the city for accepting the
deed is only that of supervision and
materials for the WPA project. Oth
er maintenance cost may be neces
sary If the property is opened to
the public. In any case, the board
is planning ultimate construction of
a building which will be used for
community affairs, organization
and exhibit use in the fair.
The proposed sanitary measure
which would ban open privies with
in 300 feet of a water main, was
killed by a tie vote. Negative bal
lot were cast by Councilman Don
aca. Hassler and Dart, while Coun
cilman Gill, Ztmbrtck and Southard
favored it. Opponents of the bill de
clared they voted against It because
an existing ordinance requiring con
nections where the house is within-,
100 feet of a sewer is assertedly not J
enforced, explaining more rigid law
should not be enacted until present'
law is enforced.
The program of rodent control
and extermination will be carried
through in conjunction with a simi
lar program which is about to be
launched In a district adjoining Le
banon on the east, north and south.
The city agreed to allot 150 toward
the program in the city and to pro
vide a room for storage of the poi
son and for headquarter for the
workers. Two WPA laborer will
