CITY BEAT
Excerpts from the City's Friday Update publication
May 26, 1955
Cottage Grove High’s two-man thinclad
squad copped a tie for 13th spot at the Ore-
gon State High School Track and Field Meet
at Bell Field in Corvallis Saturday, as Jay
Wilson walked away with a blue ribbon in
his specialty pole vaulting event and Doug
Ballow garnered fi fth in the long hurdles.
Wilson won the event with a 12’ 6” ef-
fort. He missed the 12’ 10” mark on three
consecutive tries, although his fi rst miss was
greatly aided by a stiff wind which, after a
very slight jar, fi nally blew the bar off.
Ballew had a stroke of bad luck when,
coming around the fi nal turn in contention
for the lead, he hit a hurdle, got off stride
and loped in fi fth.
P.M. showers
Theft of lost or mislaid
property
The caller took an envelope
with $35,000 in cash, his social
security card and birth certifi -
cate to Affordable Automotive
to buy a vehicle, but he was un-
able to do so because he doesn’t
have a license. The caller had
misplaced the envelope, but
when he got home it had been
returned by someone who had
found it.

The complainant, whose
property backs up to the school,
said he can see three teenagers

ing.
May 25
Harassment, Walmart
The complainant, an employ-
ee, requested an offi cer to con-
tact her to discuss options on

ex husband, who was parked in

her.

Kimwood Corporation, located
just south of Cottage Grove, is
served by a 16-inch water line
that runs down Highway 99
to Weyerhaeuser and supplies
water to a 10-inch meter for fi re
fl ow and a two-inch meter for
domestic service. This week,
the 10-inch meter developed a
signifi cant leak on one of the
welds. The Public Works utili-
ties crew responded to the leak
and the faulty weld was tapped
and plugged. This quick repair
seems to have solved the prob-
lem for the moment.
However, the meter will be
monitored and if the leak reoc-
curs, the 10-inch meter will
need to be replaced at a cost of
$3,770.

rules, disinfection byproducts
rules, lead and copper rules,
and microbial contaminants.

Waste roundup
coming May 30
A
household Hazardous
Waste Roundup has been
scheduled in Cottage Grove on
Saturday, May 30 from 8 a.m.
to 2 p.m. at South Lane County
Fire and Rescue, 233 Harrison
Avenue in Cottage Grove.
The collection is free for
hazardous waste that is from
household sources, up to 35
gallons total per customer. Haz-
ardous waste from businesses,
schools, churches or non-profi t
organizations may be subject to
disposal fees.
What to bring: Paint, house-
hold cleaners, lawn and garden
chemicals, car care products,
arts and crafts products, and
other household hazardous
waste. Please don't bring:
Empty containers, drums,
radioactive waste, asbestos or
explosives. Businesses, non-
profi t organizations, schools
and churches that generate
small amounts of hazardous
waste may pre-register to bring
that waste to this event. They
must pay for disposal of the
waste, but most can save money
by using this program, rather
than hiring a contractor on their
own.
Please call 541-682-4120 for
more information on hazardous
waste disposal for households
or businesses.
