(AP) The city of Astoria, launching a war In which delinquent taxes are to be the spoils, today employed the old mili tary strategy of shutting off water supplies to win Its cause. The council pnsscrt an ordinance permitting the city to shut off the water supply of anyone who has not paid the 103S levy. Notice of 10 days must be given. City Manager James Oonvllle said the move was msde after an agree ment had been readied with the owners of the defaulted city bonds and after the tax levy was cut In half, only Hi per cent of the 1035 tax has been pnld, he said, despite the decreased levy, and the funds for fire and police protection were dwindling. The new ordinance declared that "many owners of renl property are enjoying use of such renl property snd retain revenues therefrom with out contributing to the expense of maintaining such city governinont by the payment of current taxes." CANFIELD JELLS PARK POLICY. ON ENTRYJE BUSES, Promoters of Southwestern Teachers Tour Aware of Regulations Is Declara tion of Superintendent ENTRANCE TO RESETTLEMENT OFFICE 4 Position of the national parte ad- : ministration in regard to the alleged i barring of 600 school teachers rep re- ; sentin,? Southwestern Teachers' col- i lee from Crater Lake park was net ; forth yesterday by David H. Can field superintendent of the park. According to Mr. Can field, it has been the policy of the national park officials to bar from the parks all means of transportation operated for private profit and for this reason franchises have been granted In each park for transportation from rail heads to the park area. "There Is no Southwestern Teach ers' college except In the buses in which it travels." Mr. Canfleld said. "Passengers were not necessarily teachers, but were recruited wherever they could be solicited. Two-thirds of the group did not vlalt the lake." Promoters Given Bin me. Promoters of the tour were familiar with the park regulation on trans portation, Mr. Canfleld said, and their buses and equipment were barred after all evidence had been submit ted to the director of parks. No at tempt was made to keep individual members of the tour out of the park area and all would have reached the lake If the promotera had made prop er arrangements with existing trans portation facilities. Because mem bers of the group were Innocent vic tims, they were not charged. Full right for commercial trans portation have been granted under the franchises and are under close government supervision, Canfleld said. To prevent commercialization of na tional park areas, the regulation bar ring transportation enterprises for private profit has been enforced. -4 Phone 642 We'll naul away you! refuse City Sanitary Service f - i 1 r- jtjf- t - J r v i f sip, ?
