Hearings Scheduled For Street Paving July 1 was get last night as the date for public hearings on even propospd city street pav ing projects, at a regular meet ing of the city council. The streets Involved in the hearings will be Bennett street, from the end of the street to Cra ter Lake avenue; Crown terrace, from Oregon terrace to Berke ley way; Welch street, from Jackson street to the railroad right-of-way; Haven street, from Oak to Grape streets (two pro jects); Taylor street from Myrtle street to the end of the street, and Keeneway drive, from Main street to Wdodlawn drive. Plans and specifications were adopted by the council for all of the paving Jobs except the two Haven street projects. Water Main Hearing The council set July 15 for a hearing on a trunk water main on Jeanette street, from the south city limits to Main street. This project is a portion of the citywide trunk water main sys tem which was started in 1948. Two street improvement peti tions were received by the coun cil. They were for paving of Ivy street, from Melrose avenue to uO'Gara street, and grade and . gravelling of an alley between Richmond and Groveland ave ' nues. The council voted to cancel a contract with L. N. Curtis and Sons for a Maxim pump truck iof the fire department. The city had earlier entered into the con tract on a conditional basis, with delivery dependent on availabil ity of funds for the truck. These funds were not included in the 1952-53 budget. Won't Participate City Superintendent Robert Duff was instructed by the coun cil to notify the state civil de fense direct or that the city does not desire to participate in the state agency's offer for fire hose and miscellaneous equipment. A contract for supplying phone cable and other material for the city's police-fire alarm system was awarded to the Westing house Electric company of Port land. Three lots in Southerland Ter race addition were removed from the parks and playgrounds system by the council. They are located near the intersection of Peach and 14th streets. The first reading of an ordl- nance governing advertising signs was heard by the council. Passage of the ordinance was op posed by Councilman Paul Sel by on the grounds that, although the measure was "rather inclus ive," it did not answer all ques tions. By a 4 to 3 vote, the meas ure was referred to the League of Oregon Cities for the league's comments.

Since 1945 the 16 members have been tossing $2 a week into the treasury. Their dream came true when they bought an Army surplus bus for $500 and spent another $300 re pairing it. Visitors to Mexico can see many baroque buildings in which colored clay tile has been used lavishly to wainscot interior walls or to face entire exteriors. Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent lor Horticulture (Editor's note: This is one of series of articles on garden ing subjects, prepared for The Mall Tribune by the Jackson county agent for horticulture. They will be carried weekly during the gardening season.) Last week's frost rather vivid ly illustrated the difference be tween frost-hardy and frost tender plants. There was a great deal of difference between the severity of the injury, it varying from almost complete killing to a blackening of some of the tips. The severity of the Injury will determine in large part what measures are necessary to cor rect it. Where the plants were com pletely killed it would, of course, be necessary to replace them. In many cases the exposed leaves on the sides, and particu larly In the tops, were badly wilted. Generally, however, there were good buds still left along the stems, and in a short while they ' should send out branches and will renew the top more quickly than if the plants are removed and replaced. Dahlias Tipped In the case of dahlias, most of the tops were already of good size and were about ready to be tipped back to cause branching. This tipping back is a recom mended practice in order to in crease the number of flower bearing stems. In most cases the frost beat us to it, but in actual ity that is about all it accom plished. With most plants it is not de sirable to remove any of the damaged tissues because the damaged areas are indefinite, and in order to remove them all it would be necessary to remove some good growth. It would be best just to leave the wilted parts on and let the plant recov er as best it can. In the case of dahlias, however, where the topping back is desirable any how, it might be best to nip out the damaged terminal growths. These terminals are rather fleshy and have generally only been weakened instead of killed. By cutting them back to good buds it would remove all of the area which would make weak New Police Chief At Eagle Point Eagle Point Bobbie Orville Taylor, who formerly worked for the state highway depart ment at Prospect, began work Monday as chief of police at Eagle Point. He will also be in charge of general maintenance for streets and water, according to Sam Coy, city recorder.
