The City Federation of Women's

charter amendment be submitted to
the city council providing authority
for the city council to require pro
perty owners to plant trees on their
parking strips and to require main
tains nee of trees and care of park
ing strips, with stipulation that in
case property owners fail to do such,
the city council would be framed
power to perrorm tne worn and
asress costs for such against the
property owners.
A second amendment proposed
and Toted at the meeting would re
quire all property owners to clean all
rubbish, waste, and grass from un
oecupipd lots and property with the
regulation that if the property owners
failed to. the city could do the
work and assess the costs against
the owners.
If such amendments were drawn
up they could not be on the ballott

PRICE LIKELY
The milk situatiou In Eugene
looking toward a shortage next week
with the opening of the University ot
Oregon and increased demand, coup
led with recent - extensive Bates of
cows by local milk producers to the
California market.
This was the statement Saturday
of Chester M. Lawrence, city milk in
spector, who stated that there is also
a prospective advance In price for
October 1, which will give milk pro
ducers $3 per hundred . pounds for
four per cent hutterfat milk, and at
the same time be retailed to the con
sumers at an advance of one cent a
qusrt, from 31 to 12 cents,
'This will be the highest in Ore
gon for market milk," said Mr. Law
rence, "with but little change to the
consumer. It would insure a high
grade of milk to the consumer."
The shortage ill probably be ad
justed within the course of a week's
time, Mr. Lawrence stated, aa already
he baa had two applications, one
from a producer at Junction City,
another from one near Monroe, asking
for inspection of their plants so thai
they can bring their milk in to the Eu
gene market.
A meeting of raw milk distributors
has been called for Monday, Sept.
at 1 p. m, at the chamber of com
merce rooms, Mr. Lawrence stated,
at which time Instructions will l
given on safeguarding the milk from
the bacillus which causes contagious
abortion in rows and undulent fever
in human beings.
Dr. L. G. Ilelterllne will speak
from the veterinarians' point of view;
Allan C. Wooley of the Pacific Lab
oratories, from the laboratory techni
cians point or view, anc Air. l
renre on the city milk ordinance pro
visions. None of the local creameiiea has as
7et advanced either the retail price
on milk or the biljinf price ou raw
milk. One maunrer atated Saturday
afternoon that if the producers de
manded a hifher price on raw milk
It would likely be paid and aa result
retail price of milk would lie advanced
