Timber Land Sale
By Ashland Again
Plagues Council
Ashland, Jan. 18 The pro
posed sale ot city-owned timoer
property, which Ashland city
councilmen thought had been
decided, was brought before the
group again at its regular meet
ing last night. City Attorney
Harry Skerry Jr. said a provis
ion in the charter limited the
city in its right to dispose of
property.
It will be necessary to check
the deeds of all sections of land
involved in the proposed sale to
the forest service before the
transaction can be completed,
Skerry said.
McNair Appointed
Harry McNair. former assist
ant fire chief and acting chief
since the retirement of Clint
Baughman January 1, was made
permanent chief by appointment
of Mayor Thomas S. Williams.
Other appointments included the
renaming of L. Peers Wilmuth
as city Judge, and Frank Davis
as cemetery superintendent.
Councilman Fred Homes was
again selected by council mem
bers to serve as chairman of the
council.
Problem of locating a new fire
station again was considered ty
the council, which previously
had decided to make use of a ga
rage building on Third street,
and then changed its mind alter
buying the property. The council
approved the request of Dom
Provost for a 30-day option on
the property at a price of
513,000, but the matter was still
undecided after the meeting.
Site Considered
A site at First and C streets is
under consideration for the pro
posed new fire hall.
Duties of the city and electrical
engineers were outlined in an
ordinance presented at the meet
ing, and action on the proposal
will be taken at a later meeting.
Lease of 12 acres of land adja
cent to the cemetery to J. P.
Clark for $360 per year was ap
proved by the council. The area
will be used for gardening,
Clark said.
No new discussian of a pro
posal to bring Bonneville power
to Ashland was heard at the
meeting, but it was reported that
John Boyle, general manager,
and Seth Bullis, Medford district
manager of the California Ore
gon Power company, will meet
February 2 with councilmen to
discuss sale of Copco's facilities
in the Belleview area to the city.

The Portland local of the CIO

and saw a huge black crow
perched on the top branch of the

Suddenly the crow rasped,

The Oregonian and the Journal
had published a national labor

port which found adversely
against Meier and Frank's labor
practices. The Guild said after
the story was published:
'Kill', Orders Received
"On Tuesday, shortly after
noon, the first of what were to
be 17 separate 'kill' orders on
54 separate advertisements was
received by the Oregonian. The

that page was in the main news

to please an advertiser is not

falls into such practices loses
its value both to the public de

accounts and to the advertiser. It
becomes a sham.

for a full and frank statement
from Meier and Frank company
in this affair. .
