Alderman David OHsr.
will oppose a special election
for special tax purposes. He
contends the budget can be bal
anced without it.
The state tax street fund act
as liberalized bv the IBM
legislature, O'Hara says, which
makes that apportionment of
money from the state highway
department to the cities avail
able for street lighting pur
poses. Before the 1951 session,
says O'Hara there was doubt
that this was a legal use of the
money, but he thinks there is
no longer a legal obstacle.
By cutting various items in
the legislative budget as sub
mitted to the committee by
taty Manager J. L. Franzen
O'Hara believes the city wiU
nave enougn money without a
special vote of the people.
The council Monday night
wUl vote on, a n d doubtless
adopt, several resolutions for
street improvements. They
will cover: Judson, from Com
mercial to Mountain View:
Town tend Way, from Ford to
23rd; North 13th, from D
street to Nebraska; and East
Nob Hill, from Judson to Me
Gilchriat. - .
Alio petitions will be receiv
ed for the improvement of oth
er streets, and since all are re
quested by a majority of the
property ownership, they will
be put on the improcement pro
gram. They are: Bush, from
South Commercial to Saginaw;
Engle, from Kingwood Drive
to Margaret street; Margaret,
from Engle to the west eity
limits.
The Eola Fire District, which
has completed its organization,
wiU ask the city for a contract
whereby the eity will furnish
fire protection to the district.
Pending formation of the dis
trict the city has been furnish
ing protection without a con
tract. .
Several petitions for sani
tary sewers will include: South
24th, from Hyde to Shelton, on
which the city engineer recom
mends that the sewer be con
structed; Forrest Hill a Way,

Control Tower and Navy CBM
Combine Efforts, Warn Pilot
When planes are in the air
at McNary field they -are
watched by the CAA eontrol
tower men for more than just
keeping the pattern straight.
Recently a eub taxied off and
took to the air with a rope
dangling from between the
rudder and vertical stabilizer.
Aa the pUot startM off to the
North the tower operator on
duty noticed the rope.

the tower operator fearing that
the rope might Jam the rudder.
started giving the puot the al
ternating red and green Cash
ing light the caution signal,
which can mean anything from
a plana nearby to something
wrong , with the plane being
signaled.
Next the tower gave the lit
tle plane the flashing green
light, which means return and
land. The plane, however, did
not see either of the lights and
continued on in its flight
At this point the Navy was
called on for help in warning
the little plane. One of the Na
val Alr Faculty's torpedo
bombers was in the air. The
pilot was asked to fly over the
little plane and take a look at
the rope to see how dangerous
the situation was.
On seeing the Navy plane
the Cub started to maneuver
that gave them the answer,
the rope would not cause the
rudder to Jam. In the words
of the pUot of the Navy plane,
"The way this guy is maneuv
ering to get away from me he
is in no danger at all."
When the Cub landed short
ly afterward, however, the
tower operator contacted the
pilot and warned him of the
rope. . ;
Unaware of the rope the pi
lot, the tower operator learned,
had been concerned only by the
fact that a Navy plane had ap
peared to want to "play with

The name "acid" is loosely
applied to any sour substance.
