West Salem Council Clears
Utility Franchise Problems
West Salem, May 8 The city council tentatively cleared the way
for extension of the Salem schools' recreational and playground
program to the West Salem community through action taken at its
meeting held last night. Au-
thorization was given for bud
geting of funds sufficient to
match the city of Salem's con
tribution toward such a pro
gram sponsored by the school
system. A recommendation for
city cooperation came from the
Lions club through O. C. Brown,
chairman of its youth recrea
tional committee. According to
Brown's statement the city's
portion of the expense for the
winter program would be $100
while that for the summer pro
gram would be $150. A pre
school activity instructor, an
assistant instructor and a jani
tor would constitute the staff.
In lieu of the certainty of a
forthcoming election and possi
ble approval of a merger with
the city of Salem, Mayor Mus
grave recommended that all ex
isting franchises including that
held by the Salem Electric Co.,
the West Salem Bus Co. and
the West Salem Sanitary Co. be
extended to the legal limitation,
20 years. An ordinance giving
a 20 year franchise to the Sa
ilem Electric Co. was presented
'and approved upon the first and
second readings. Revised ordi
nances for the other utilities
will be introduced at a future
meeting.
Budget Meeting Set
Monday, May 19, was set for
the budget meeting with the fol
lowing appointment of the bud
get committee approved: Rob
ert Forster, Jack Watson, Rob
ert Covert, Phil Kerber, O. C.
Brown, Harold Reinwald and
Verne Axelson.
Quarterly and semi-annual re
ports were given by the city of
ficers. Al. Lamb, city auditor,
reported a total balance of
$16,785.84 on hand including the
sinking fund balance. The gen
eral operating fund showed an
overdraft of $2497.60 and the
emergency fund was overdrawn
$466.40. R. E. Pattison, city re
corder reported revenue for the
first three months of the year
totaling $5676.60. Fines for the
same period amounted to $413.50
covering 42 cases.
Representatives of the Salem
Junk Co. were in attendance to
offer cooperation in any matter
relative to a satisfactory elimi
nation of a fire hazard at their
yard. W. A. Huckabay, building
inspector, was instructed to con
fer with the gentlemen regard
ing the matter. The firms li
cense renewal request was ta
bled pending further investiga
tion. Street Grade Proposed
A representative from the su
perintendent's office of tile
Southern Pacific was present to
confer with the council regard
ing its proposal to grade Sec
ond street from Kingwood
through to Edgewater street. It
was stated that the matter
would be taken up with the
company, which has followed
the policy of keeping traffic ten
feet from either side of the
center of the tracks.
Other matters considered by
the council included considera
tion of a proposal to change the
name of Lincoln street to Van
street; a survey of the parking
regulations on Second street and
on streets adjacent to the school
property was advised; authoriz
ation to secure electrical service
from the Salem Electric Co. for
the new booster pump to be
included in the inter-city water
installation; also approved was
the purchase of a short wave ra
dio for the police officer's of
fice; discontinuance of use o
the old city hall by the Gra-Y
boys; approval of the purchase
of the new Polk directory; the
purchase of a wire fence around
the children's wading pool in
the city park; and approval of
the use of the city hall auditor
ium by the Lions club on each
second and fourth Wednesday
nights of the month.
Meiers Yield
$1607.10 Total
Salem's collection from the
second week of operation of
parking meters was $1607.10, it
was revealed Monday afternoon
at completion of the count.
Pennies deposited in the me
ters totaled $524, and nickels
$1074, and there was $9.10 in
dimes. Slug-pluggers were still
trying to beat the meters, some
of them probably successfully,
for there were 74 wortless discs
of various kinds in the collec
tion. City authorities and the po-
lic remind the public that the
meters are made for nickels and
pennies only. A dime will work,
but it gives only a penny's value
in parking time 12 minutes.
