Conrad was approved for a sewer running through lots 1, 2 and 3, block 1, Cottage addi tion, between Court and Beatty streets.

The two contrac tors were the only bidders on the three jobs. A hearing was set for April 4 on two 600-foot sewers in Laurel hurst addition. Both run north from Jackson street in alleys of block 11 and 12. Petitions Heard Petitions for sewers on Mt. Pitt avenue between Peach and Hamilton streets and Winchester avenue between Peach and Ham ilton and for curbs and gutters on Summit avenue between Jackson street and Mary place were referred to committees. The ordinance on preventing trucks to use 12th, Franquette and Mayette streets and Spencer avenue as a turn-around was ta bled, and the council took no action on meat inspection last night. In other moves the council awarded a contract to Rogue Valley Drilling company to drill a well at the sewage disposal plant, adopted the 1949 uniform building code of the Pacific Coast Building conference, took over ownership from the civil aeronautics administration of the airport tetrahedron and turned "thumbs down" on a veterans organization proposition to sell poppies in bunches to business men.

To Add Commercial Rates In action on the proposed water rate increase, the council approved adding commercial rates to residential and agricul tural rates in the proposed sched ule of increases, and will con sider an ordinance covering the rales at the next meting. A resolution presented to the council by the city attorney would amend the city charter to permit sale of timber on the Ash land watershed to the forest ser vice. Action lo place the resolu tion on the May primary election ballot will be taken at the next meeting.

It Indicated lhat the bud get proposed is 10 per cent above the constitutional six per cent limitation, and that additional requests from city departments would increase it even further. Work on the budget will be com pleted by May 1. it is hoped by city officials, in time to be voted on in the election May 10, To Control Soot The city attorney was authoriz ed to draw an ordinance requir ing sawmills in the city limits to abate smoke, soot and sawdust from their burners. The ordin ance will be presented to the council for adoption. The council authorized J. B. Austin, city recorder; Harry Skerry Jr., city attorney, and Bert Day, street superintendent, to continue with plans for a city equipment pool for city vehicles and equipment. Items would be charged to city departments on an hourly basis. To Pay For Buijding No action was taken on the proposed lease of the city golf course pending word from the potential lessees. Austin asked, and was granted, authority to pay the balance duu on a build ing which was at fir.st intended for use as a new fire station. Near the conclusion of the meeting Councilman Fred Homes moved that the city's electric rates be changed to conform with those charged by the California Oregon Power company. The mayor broke a lie with a nega tive vote. Austin proposed that Copco bo charged a two per cent franchise tax for power sold in the Bellvlcw section of the city. Appraisal of the Copco hold ings in the area is under way wilh the possibility that the city may purchase them from the company.
