Appeared Below Plan
Nash and Fortenberry said
they were flying their DC-4
with 10 company officials
aboard southward between
Newport News, Va., and Nor
folk night before last, when six
of the saucers appeared 6,000
feet below them.
"Giving consideration to the
difference in our altitude and
theirs we judged they were ap
proximately 100 feet in diamet
er and between 10 and 15 feet
thick," Nash said. "As they near-
ed us they appeared to be solid
bodies of light, but they had
definite outlines."
City Council Acts
To Finance Airport
The city council last night
took action to encourage the
speedy letting of additional bond
issues to pay for the expense of
the new terminal being built
at the municipal airport, during
the council meeting atcity hall.
Councilman Dwight Hough
ton called for an immediate
check of the finances and ex
penses of the $135,039 terminal.
Because Contractor Frank R
Fairweather has agreed to com
plete the construction in 90 days
and because it takes so long
to let bids, Houghton said, we
might have the job finished and
then not be able to pay for it
if we don't watch the finances
pretty closely."
City Superintendent Robert
Duff said that additional bonds
will almost certainly prove nee
essary despite a $50,000 govern
ment grant that has been applied
for.
The council also voted to share
in the expense of installation of
12th street traffic lights with the
State Highway commission. The
city's share is expected to be
$2,850.
Another important matter was
the approval of the plans for
remodeling of the former scnool
offices on the main floor of city
hall. The engineering and build
ing departments will be moved
into the office "space when the
remodeling is completed. Coun
cilman Elmer Childers, of the
building committee, said the job
can be done within the city bud
get for this year.
After approving the plans the
council authorized, the superin
tendent's office to call for cost
estimates.

Medford Firemen
Answer 30 Alarms
During Past Month
.Thirty alarms were answered
during June by the Medford
fire department, according to
Chief Gordon Barker. None
were false alarms.
The department went to seven
dwelling fires and answered a
call to an apartment house that
resulted from a short circuit in
the fire alarm system.
Three of the dwelling fires
were caused by electric appli
ances or wiring. Two were
caused by an overheated oil
stove and a stove too close to
a wall.
Ten grass or trash fires were
put out by the department and
it flushed away eight gasoline
spills. There also were two car
fires and a standby at the air
port for an emergency landing
at the airport, during June.
The fire marshal reported
that 566 homes were inspected
under the department's new
home inspection program. At
the 916 homes called on, only
70 refused inspection. There
was no one home at 280 of the
homes visited.
The marshal made 49 other
inspections and 79 issued orders
or recommendations on the re
moval of hazards. There were
310 burning permits' issued.
iTacticauy every alley m
town was found to be lined
with rubbish or a high growth
of grass, weeds or brush. Own
ers of the property along these
alleys claimed that the city
should be required to clean the
growth from the alley right-of-
way before they be forced to
clean up the rubbish and dis
pose of the fire hazard.
