necessary to prevent a fire. Thur-
her declared.
Larger F irs Zone Urged
Itestorallon of the old tire limits
from Mill to Meventh on Main

block on either side ot the street
was rscomuiend«id In the report.
Tbe flue ordinance which requires
a four-inch double thimble around
the pipe was not observed here en
glneers declartnl, pointing to the
City Hall stove as being an out
standing example. The ordinance
provides that no stove or smoke
pipe shall be extended through a
roof without tbe proper vise tblm
ble. or through any wall more than
18 Inches above the celling. The
chimney ordinance was lauded as
being one of tbe best, but was not
enforced.
Au assortment of bridged fuses
sod peunles was exhibited at the
meeting and the public warned ot
the dangers of thia practice. An
nual Inspection by the electrical
Inspector for all fuae boxes lu tbe

ing un the schools he declared they
were In good cuudltlon with the ex

People Pay the Bill
The people of thia city are pay
ing the bill regardless of the situ

Improvements
which will mean unnual savings for
many years to come, said Thurber
In auinmJiigH up his report. Home
of the changes which he recom
mended In bringing about an high
er rating for the city were as fol
lows:
Adoption of the code on haxurds
anti the building code fur small
municipalities, both approved by
the Oregon Bating Bureau; amend
lug the electrical code to Include
all amendments ns passed by the
Bating Bureaeu and repealing of all
ordinances now conflicting with
these codes; an expanded fire de
partment with 20 to 24 volunteers,
written department regulations, re
gular drill and regular Inspections
end keeping of complete record».
Most of these have already been
put Into effect here except the
suggestion dealing with the site of
the volunteer department.
