Public Safety Again Big
Before Council
Protection of the public from
traffic accident, Including the
frequent collision of automobiles
. with trains again held more at
tention than anything else at the
city council meetine Monday
night
Most of it was on a resolution
asking the state speed control
board to investigate the possibil
ity of reducing the 33-mile maxl
. mum apeed along Portland road
from Highland avenue to the
north city limits.
; Alderman David OUara got it
amended to include North Capi
tol street from Madison to High
land and Fairgrounds road south
of Highland. Mrs. T. A. Eng
lish, in the audience, got into the
discussion and got the council
to add Pine street to the investi
gation for the reason that it
without sidewalks and has be
come a speedway.
In a separate motion O'Hara
had the city traffic safety com
mission instructed to look into
the proper locations for cross
walks on Portland roaa.
Another resolution was adopt
ed authorizing City Manager J.
L. Franzen and City Attorney
Chris J. Kowltz to puce a com
nl.lnt with the state public util
fties commission that Southern
Pacific grade crossing in the
city are unsafe and demanding
more adequate signals at me
crossings.
.
The rest of the business was
old routine.
t One ordinance that was en
acted, however, after being put
on final passage immediately aft
er introduction, was of more than
ordinary interest. It accepted a
deed to a strip of property a
block long between Commercial
and Mason for the widening of
Judson street to 80 feet, for
which the residents on the street
have been after for a long time.
... Two other ordinances were
enacted. One extends the fran
chise of the Southern Pacific
company another five years to
operate a spur track on Ford
'street. The other changes the
sidewalk line on the east side of
Laurel avenue between Tamar
ack and South streets to permit
a curb sidewalk.
A bill granting the Southern
Pacific company a 10-year
franchise to operate across Che
meketa street was tabled. Also
tabled was a bill providing coun
cil approval for certain drive
way applications and for the
elimination of unnecessary drive
ways. ' '
New bills Introduced were:
To vacate parts of 13th and
Trade streets and also alleys in
Blocks 37 and 88 of University
addition that are occupied by the
Thomas Kay Woolen mills, a
bill merely to clear the records.
A bill establishing a special
setback line on the west side of
South Winter in front of Lot 3,
Block 19, Nob Hill annex, to per
mit enclosing a porch.
Permitting the installation of
a parking area on the parking
trip in front of the Carl Con
struction company at 1475 Fair
Oaks Way.
And a bl'l levying an assess
ment for sidewalk construction.
A remonstrance against the
improvement of North 13th
street between D street and East
street was sufficient with 51 per
cent and was referred to the ald
erman of the ward.
The council thought com
plaints about outdoor basket
ball backboards being too close
to the sidewalks and curbs
should be treated as individual
complaints and not as an overall
matter for action. It came up
In a letter from the traffic safety
council.
Petitions for two canitary sew.
ers and the recommendation of
City Engineer J. H. Davis on both
were approved. One was for Sll
verton road between Duncan and
Abrams. The other was for Oh
mart street from South High to
East Nob HU1. The engineer's
recommendation on both was
that they be built when the
houses are built.
Petitions for the improvement
of Townsend way from Ford to
23rd, and of East Nob H1U from
juason to Mcuucnrist were
both sufficient and both were
put on the improvement pro
gram. The first includes side
walk construction and the other
does not For the latter the
engineer reported the street has
sidewalks, although they are not
In good condition.
A petition for the Improvement
of Bush street from Commercial
to Saginaw was signed only 46
percent of assessable property
and was tabled.
The council granted a request
from Montgomery Ward & Co.
for permission to park a large
truck In front of the store at
155 North Liberty to demon
strata power tools.
The city manager, the mayor
and members of the council were
invited by the Marlon County
Civil Defense to open the inspec
tion of a rescue truck to be on
public display March 16 at High
and Court
City Manager Franzen, Fire
Chief E. L. Smith and City En
gineer Davis were instructed to
investigate and report at the
next meeting on a request from
First Congregational church for
certain waivers of the building
code in the construction of an
addition to the church.
Resetting of parking meters
will be necessary on High street
between Chenvketa. and Union
because the council ordered that
parallel parking replace head-in
parking on tne street
By war of streamlining the
city bookkeeping system a mod
ern machine for the purpose is
to be Installed, and the city man
ager and city recorder were
authorised to buy a National,
costing $5100. However, the Bur
roughs representative, who had
made a bid, said he had another
machine he wanted to demon
strate, and it will be examined
by city officials Wednesday.
Plans, specifications and esti
mates were approved for the im
provement of Riverview Drive
from Kingwood Drive to the
west line of Lot 12, Block 3,
Kingwood Vista; and for Ferry
street from 20th to 21st.
The building in Hollywood oc

was adopted for alterations to
change the situation.

North 13th street from D street

May Probe Subversive
In Religious Groups
Washington Wl Some church
men may eventually be the sub
ject of investigation by the
House Un-American Activities
Committee, Chairman Velde (R.,
ill.;, says.
Velde said last nisht in an
Moa radio interview it was
"entirely possible" the commit
tee might get into "the church
field," but probably not this
year because of other business.
He added he could not tell
which direction such an investi
gation might take, "whether it
wouia oe into some of the or
ganizations which are affiliated
with the various churches, or
whether it would be individ
uals."
