Members Of Council Study Many
Problems At Tuesday Meeting
City council m em bers discussed cniarging the capacity of Reeder
Dam by 10%, studied the Ashland airport problem, set up zoning
for Bellviekv, bought a road roller, and took in two bids for the
W inburn way bridge at a Council m eeting Tuesday night.
The Reeder darn enlargrnent can possibly be made by raising the
spillway up to tiie top of the dam according to Herb Fischborn, who
recom mended that com petent en- •/
gineers study the possibility of
doing that. This would ncrease

Koozer Builds His
Own Rifling Machine
Ward Koozer. Ashland gun
smith, began reboring a Japanese
6.5 rifle barrel io a 7 mm barrel
on his new rifling and reboring
machine which he has built d u r
ing the past month.
Koozer began the boring job
Monday at O. R. Edward's Repair
■hop, 343 East Main, where he
has his gun shop. Vern Decker,
local gun collector, and Larkin
Grubb, gun enthusiast, were on
hand Monday to watch the mach
ine work.
Koozer has attached an electric
motor to the machine to use for
barrel reaming, he also uses a
hand wheel for fine work.
"Japanese barrels are often
hard to work with." Koozer said,
stating that often they are com
posed of 60% scrap steel and 40%
new steel. He further pointed out
that the heat treatment which the
Japanese had given most of their
guns was very good and had
hardened the steel exceptionally
well.
Mrs. George Lowd, Mr. and
