Council to Keep Bye
OnBuildingP
ermits
So many applicant! for
building permit In Salem are
trying to "Jump the gun" In an
ticipation of changes to be
made In revision of the xonlng
code that an ordinance was en
acted by the eity council Mon
day night to put curb on
them. ' .
The ordinance, which was
Introduced, and then put on
second and third readings and
final passage on motion of Al
' derman Tom Armstrong, pro
vides that the council approve
building permits in certain
eases.
Ordinarily permits are
granted by the building de
partment of the city engineer's
office without other approval,
the department simply check'
lng carefully Into compliance
with building regulations
Buildings in the Capitol zone,
However, do have council ap
proval.
Among routine matters the
council gave the city engineer
' and the city manager power to
act on an application from the
Capital Baptist church for per
mission to connect to a city
sanitary sewer. The engineer
had recommended against 1'
because it requires an exten
slon of 900 feet, partially out
side the city limits, but an
amendment In the plan has
since been made.
Referred to the city man'
ager was a request from Con
solidated Supply company for
permission to build a loading
dock on city property" to ' fa-
eilitate rail car loading at the
company's property at Front
and Shipping streets.
A request from W. F. arid
Gladys Campbell for a setback
curb fronting property at 1429
Trade street was referred to
the planning and zoning commission.
'" Under a recent amendment
to the city charter whereby the
' eity can Improve a street re
gardless of petition from a ma
jority of the property If hazard
or convenience makes It neces
! sary, the city will go ahead
with the improvement of Taft
street between Madison and
the north terminus of Taft. All
property owners en the east
side of the street petitioned for
it, but Salem Linen Mills, on
the the other side, would not
Join In the petition, which gave
the petition only 30.62 per cent
of the assessable area. Thi
council instructed City Attor
ney Chris J. Kowitz to pro
ceed toward the improvement.
' Referred to the traffic saf
ety council was a petition to
. change the stop signs at Trade
end 21st streets. Traffic is now
stopped on 21st before enter
ing Trade. The petitioners
want that reversed.
To the city manager was re
ferred a petition from five
business firms on last . State
near 25th requesting two-hour
parking signs on both sides of
State between 23rd and 25th.
The council granted a re
quest from Salem Memorial
Hospital for waiver of the
city's fee for processing plans
for the hospital's new $300,000
wing. A similar concession had
been made Salem General Hos
pital relative to the new build'
lng now being erected.
Keterred to city manager
was a letter from Postmaster
Albert Gragg calling attention
to a dangerous condition along
blocks 2600 and 2700 of Port
land Road because of lack of
sidewalks or pedestrian walks.
The council adopted a report
of the traffic safety council
that parking be restricted at
all times to the north side of D
street between Summer and
Capitol.
Approved were recommen
dations for new crosswalks on
the. north side of Madison at
Capitol: at the south line of
Lana avenue at Capitol; at the
north side of Donald Way and
Capitol; and on motion of Al
derman David OUara the
north side of Highway avenue
was included. Also it was or
dered that all existing cross
walks In the area be repainted.
In response to a memorial
from the budget committee the
council instructed City Attor
ney Kowitz to prepare a reso
lution calling for appointment
of an interim committee to
study salaries and classifica
tion of positions of eity employes.-
I
A resolution for the im
provement of - Engle avenue
from Kingwood Drive to Mar
garet street was tabled for two
weeks out of consideration to
Justice and Mrs. James T.
Brand, who requested that
their names be withdrawn
from the petition. The with
drawal does not nullify the
petition. '
A resolution was adopted di
recting the city manager to in
stall parking meters wherever'
the eity considers it necessary
to restrict the time that ve
hicles may park. The resolu
tion is Important since it Is in
the plan of the budget commit
tee and is .expected to yield
added revenue in the next fis
cal year.
Ordinance bills callng for a
special city election and pro
posing special mlllage taxes
were all killed by indefinite
postponement, since the bud
get committee has decided the
budget can be balanced with
out them.
An ordinance was enacted
for the revision of driveway
regulations. It applies both to
commercial and private drive
ways, regulates the number
and with and seta up fees for
driveway permits.

4-H oh Defensive Before
Session of City Council
Four-H clubs as a city
sponsored and financially sup-
. ported movement were on the
defensive before the city coun
cil Monday night.
And their representatives
were reminded that some mem
bers of the city budget eom-
' mittee, which also is on the de
fensive against a baffling econ
omic situation, think 4-H clubs
should not be supported by di
rect appropriation from city
runds.
Pointed questions
asked.
It wasn't before the council
for a decision. That will be the
budget committee's job. It
came up on a request from the
Salem 4-H advisory council
asking time for a hearing,
which was granted; and also
eh a letter from Burton S. Hut
ton, state 4-H club leader.
Among those representing
the 4-H dubs were G. F. (Ted)
Chambers, spokesman for the
group, Hutton, James Bishop.
4-H director In Sslem, E. Burr
Miller, Gene Vandcneynde and
ethers. .
Alderman Dan Fry, who Is
chairman of the budget com
mittee, asked Chambers, in
Yiew of the "many, many oth
er" very necessary activities
the city has to appropriate
money for, how he would Jus
tify an appropriation for the
4-H.
'Among other things Cham
bers stressed "saving youth."
"Well then," pursued Fry,
"why shouldn't we be called
upon to appropriate money for
the FFA, the YMCA, the
YWCA and the Salvation
ArmyT"
The argument that followed
brought out. the defense that
some of the agenles mentioned
by Fry are supported by the
Community Chest.
Alderman Chester I. Chase
asked if any other city In Ore
gon appropriates city money!
for supoprt of the 4-H clubs
uurion answered that no
other city does. He said that
while 85 or go per cent of the
4-H activity is in the rural
areas it wasn't Intended orig
inally to be exclusively a rur
al movement. Also he said the
4-H does not attempt to sell
itself to a municipality, and
mat it came to Salem by invitation.
for this fiscal year 1953-
1854 the 4-H Is asking for
fa-tu, me same amount as
appropriated last year.
