The council again tabled the
requested payment of over
time to the estate of the late
Fred Hunt of the Salem Fire
department A further study
of the case will be made.
Bruce Williams, appearing for
the estate, told the council
that when the firemen's work
week was reduced from 84 to
63 hours, and before the ap
propriation of funds to meet
the added cost, many of the
firemen received overtime
credit for bourr worked over
63. But when a department
member died or resigned, his
name in one or two instances
was left on the payroll and
the vacancy left unfilled long
enough to pay off the over
time in cash.
Tabled was a resolution
that would permit parallel
parking on the west side of
Edgewater street between Me-
Nary and Patterson.
The council expressed im
patience with the State Board
of Control for delay in re
plying to a letter from City
Manager J. L. Franzen who
wanted to know the board's
intentions about property on
North Summer street as they
affect a request from Mrs.
Delia Hayden for a permit to
build five private garages at
the rear of the Glendora
apartments. Franzen was di
rected to ask the state board
for a reply and inform it that
the council intends to act Im
mediately on the request. An
other property adjacent to the
Glendora is also concerned.
The council approved a clos
ing out sale license to the
Hare Furniture company on
North High notwithstanding a
protest from the other furni
ture dealers of the city who
said the company had not
complied with a city ordi
nance requiring advance no
tice of sale, posting a bond
and prohibiting night hours
for the aale. The council
found that the ordinance had
existed since 1939, but could
not recall its having previous
ly come Into question, and sus
pected there had been other
violations. The council was
also influenced by the fact that
the Hare sale is almost finished.
Notice came from Bernice
Mountcastle . that she has in
structed her attorney to sue
the city for $10,000 general
and $500 special damages on
account of injuries received in
a fall on a ramp at Court and
Liberty. When ahe presented a
claim two weeks ago City At
torney Chris J. Kowitz rec
ommended allowing her $100,
which Is the limit permitted
by ordinance.
Referred to the traffic cafe-
ty commission was a letter
from the Capitol Shopping
Center Advertising Agency
requesting a traffic sign read
ing "Right turn permitted on
red signal after stopping" at
the northeast corner of the in
tersection ef Marion and Cap
ItoL It would relieve a traffic
Jam that occurs daily, the let
ter said.
Mayor Loucks told the coun
cil he had written a letter to
R. H. Baldock, state highway
engineer, suggesting that one
way traffic northbound should
be established on North Cap
ital between Court and Center
streets. This is the only North
Capitol block where two-way
traffic is permitted.
Approval was given the leas
ing of a building on the air
field to the National Guard for
warehouse and shop purposes
for four, years, $25 a month
the first two years, and $50 a
month the second two years.
A resolution sponsored by
the North Salem Kiwania club
was adopted, making High
street and Broadway street
through streets from Union to
Gaines, from Shipping to Col
umbia, from Grove to Spruce,
and from Hickory to the north
city limits.
Tabled for correction was an
agreement between the city and
L. R. Tweedie for the rental
of river front property near
the intersection of Chemeketa
and Water streets. The agree
ment as read made the rental
$20 a month, and the figure
should have been $40.
A resolution for sidewalk
construction on the north side
of Royal street between 18th
and 20th was tabled, but one
for sidewalks on the south side
of Lewis between Berry and
12th was adopted.
Among ordinances passed
was one permitting Rieck Bros,
to put up limited business con
struction on their property on
the west side of North Capitol
just north of Union Street,
which is in the Capitol zone.
