Uniform Law
Being Sought
Lebanon Punchboards, pin
ball and slot machines came in
for their share of consideration
at the city council meeting
Tuesday night when a proposed
ordinance prepared by City At
torney Frank Mayer was read
and discussed.
Tentative taxes to be levied
against these items were sug
gested but no formal action was
taken until the ordinance could
be presented to the city coun
cils of Albany and Sweet Home,
with the Idea being to have any
such law In complete conform
ity in the three towns.
The question as to whether
volunteer firemen were author
ized to install red blinker lights
on the front of their cars to aid
in clearing traffic to fires was
introduced. The matter had
been brought up at the last fire
meeting, but a check of the
state law revealed that no car
other than that designated as
an emergency vehicle could
have a red light, unless so des
ignated by the governor and his
board.
Further discussion centered
around the right of the fire chief
and the paid fireman to make
periodic fire inspections in pub
lic or business buildings,. State
law, it was found, delegates that
power to the fire chief, who is
a deputy of the state fire mar
shall. A motion was passed to
have the city recorder contact
the state fire marshall's office
to obtain clarification on the
matter.
The volunteer fire depart
ment's election of Vern Reeves
to the position of assistant fire
chief was confirmed.
It was announced that R. H.
Correy, Portland consulting en
gineer, would prepare plans and
specifications for two pumps
which the council Intends to
have installed at the sewer out
let to assist in the sewer drain
age during high water.
