Moronic Blaze
Being Probed
Toronto. Ont.. Sept. 19 M
The government today ordered
the crew of the lake steamer.
Noronic to a secret inquiry to
chi ck "all aspects'' of the dock
side fire which killed at least
119 panic-stricken passengers.
Questioning of the crew be
gan as five divers descended
again into submerged sections
of the charred hull of the 8,908
ton pleasure boat to search for
bodies of 171 passengers still
listed as missing.
Officials doubted, however,
that the death toll would rise
much higher. Some 361 of the
ship's 685 passengers were re
ported safe, with 34 in hospitals.
It was believed that most of
those unaccounted for had left
the scene for their homes with
out reporting their escape.
Only 29 of the 119 bodies re
covered had been identified
This confidential Inquiry pre
ceded from a formal government
investigation, to be open to the
public, later this week, the de
partinent said.
Three other investigations to
determine the cause of the trag
edy also were underway. They
were being conducted by the
Canada Steamship lines, owner
of the vessel, city officials of
Cleveland, and the insurance
firm which had insured the ship
for $1,000,000. Not far from the
wreckage strewn dock where
the "queen of the lakes" burned
Saturday morning at her moor
ings, weary Red Cross and Sal
vation Army workers and medi
cal officials continued their grim
task of identifying charred
bodies.
To Sign-up for

sent a signed agreement on the

William D. Pawley, Jr.. son of
former Ambassador to Brazil
said today he and Elizabeth Tay
lor of the movies have "mutu
ally agreed" to call off their en
gagement. day, a flying saucer suddenly
loomed into view, they report.
The saucer was hoaded north,
the witnesses say, came to a halt
for more than a minute, shot
stright up about 2000 feet, then
started "backing up" and flew
south. It stopped again, then
zoomed up and out of sight.
About a dozen people in the
Fairmont hill district in south
Salem also reported seeing the
wierd object. A few persons at
tempted to study the saucer
through binoculars, but found it
impossible to secure a focus on
the fast-moving object.

30 Foot Lane in Forkner's
Addition Plat Protested
County Surveyor A. D. Granam has directed a letter to the Sa
lem Planning and Zoning commission asking about the width of
Park lane on a plat for Forkner's Acres north of Salem which
has been submitted for approval.
It is understood the plat is to come before the zoning and plan
ning commission Tuesday eve-
ning for its approval as to the
width of the roadway which
calls for only 30 feet in the plat.
Graham calls attention to the
fact that under Chapter 498,
laws of 1947, the county is pre
eluded from ever taking over;
or maintaining a road under su
feet in-width.
Also it is understood to be
a practice of the zoning commis
sion to reject approval ot a road
way within a silx-mile radius
of the city limits which if under
60 feet in width.
The fact that R. A. Forkner,
who is submitting the plat for
approval, is a member of the
L"..!!? "KX M!2!th. Pacific highway across the
commission which will be called
on Tuesday to approve the road
is not mentioned in Graham's
letter but has been a subject of
discussion among officials in re
gard to the width of the road
way. They say that to allow this
roadway to be approved at 30
feet when the general practice
is 60 feet and the law refuses

to allow the county to take over
a road less than 90 feet wide,
might establish a precedent
highly embarrassing both to the
zoning and planning commission
and the county court, as well as
the surveyor and county engi-
neer, all of whom have to ap
prove the plat eventually. The
county engineer also is a mem
ber of the zoning and planning
commission.
Graham's letter states that the
road serves 11 houses at the
present time and with filing and
development of the plat it will
serve several more.

proached by tome of the resi
dents now living on Park lane
saying they do not want the
street widened or made into a
county road as they do. not care
for heavy traffic on the road
which they wish to serve only
themselves, their families and
any visitors they may have with
out any heavy influx of traffic.
But, whether this argument
will overcome the objections to
setting up a precedent by allow
ing establishment of a 30-foot
road within a short distance
from the city limits, is a matter
they state is open to careful con
sideration.
Being within the six-mile lim
it it must pass the scrutiny of
the city planning and zoning
commission before it reaches the
court. It is understood It will be
up as an order of business at the
Tuesday night session of that
commission.
