Park Lights
On This Week
New lighting that has been in
stalled in Willson Park will be
set aglow some time this week,
attended with some ceremony
for which details have not yet
been arranged.
The new lighting system in
the park was planned and de
signed by City Manager J. L.
Franzen. and some 30 or 40
lights on adequote standards
will replace the former meagre
lighting that was lurnisnca Dy
only three lamps.
Standards used were taken
from the streets when mercury-
vapor lights were installed, ana
have been worked over, so the
installation in the park has not
been expensive. The lights will
make the park more usable for
the public than heretofore.
The lights will go on and off
automatically.

Silverton Gives
Union High Nod
SILVERTON Residents of Sil
verton and 12 suburban rural
school districts Friday night fa
vored a union high school by a
vote of 87 tc 22 at a meeting in
the Eugene Field school.
Of the more than 200 persons
present only 100 cast ballots in
(hp straw vote leaving the true
public opinion on the matter still
a matter oi conjecture.
At the Individual rural school
meetings, and the Silverton civic
organization sessions, "straw
voting" bas brought virtually the
same resultant as that of the
week-end final meeting. '
The regular evening for the
meeting of the Silverton (4-C dis
trict) is Wednesday of this week.
Scheduling a pre-session for all
outof-Silverton board members,
and Silverton, to be the first of
the week. The organized general
rule board members of which
Oscar Loe is chairman, are asked
to met with the Silverton school
board, Wednesday evening. The
prime concern is to determine the
preferred plan fpr the location
of the union high school in order
to have a meeting place for the
opening of schools in the autumn
months.
(ieneral sentiment seems to fa
vor the use of the Silverton high
school for the union high pro
gram as accommodations for 500
students are available, and the
total that would attend the union
high is estimated at 490.
This arrangement would neces
sitate the Silverton district build
ing housing for its junior high
department.
Dr. E. 1,. HcnVel Is chairman
of the Silverton school board,
Howard Baldcrstone is superin
tendent of the Silverton schools.
The official vote as to whether
Silverton is included in the union
high move Is to be decided by
local patrons as to their willing
ness by legal vote within 20 days,
If final plans can be agreed upon.
