(International) Central Point- Wafer System Survey Voted; Rate Savinqs Listed Central Point The ci$y council at Central Point order ed a comprehensive survey of the water system of the city at a meeting this week. A Portland engineering firm, John W. Cunningham and asso ciates, will carry out the pro ject at a cost of S400. The action was approved fol lowing submission of an insur ance rating bureau report, which told premium savings on various policies if the city could lower its fire rating classificaton. The city is presently in Class VII. If it became VI, reductions would be 13 per cent for three year policy dwelling coverage, 12 per cent on dwelling con tents and 3 per cent on mercan tile property. The survey is a result of a proposal by the Elk City Water district that the city share in construction of a trunk water main from Medford along High way 99." Water experts maintain that the line would increase the city's pressure through use of a circular system, and in crease the fire protection. Dur ing summer months, the city has "less than half the pressure required for fire safety," offic ials added. The district proposes that the city pay about S40,000 as its share in the main con struction. Further recommendations were also made by the rating bureau, including changes in the fire department and wiring codes. It was also reported at the meeting that the city is await ing the Portland bonding at torney's go-ahead before bids are called for construction of the combination fire hall and library building. The transcript of the sale of the bonds to the U. S. National bank at a recent meet ing has been sent to the attor ney. Each step must be approv ed, however, in the bonding process. Police Chief Oran Chastain reported that he had five appli cations for the position of night patrolman recently held by Bruce A. Bishop, who resigned to become editor of a CIO publication.

Boy Successfully Matches Wits With Rati Now Top London Catcher of Rodents London U.R) When William Dalton was a snail boy, his fa ther took him into the depths of a factory cellar and invited him to match hU wits with a rat. . It is part of the 245-year fam ily history that young Will got his rat, and he has been getting them ever since alive! -Other Daltons Active Now a brisk and cheerful 60, Dalton is the nearest thing to a hereditary pied piper in these sceptered isles. ' Whats more, there are 16 other Daltons ac tive and William briefs them nightly in the drafty offices of the clan as Big Ben bongs mid night. Then they scatter, sons, broth ers, nephews, cousins, to meet again at dawn and recount the adventures of the night over cups of tea. The catch is tallied living, because the Daltons are rat catchers', not rat killers. "Make that clear," scowled William. "Anyone, even you, could scatter poisoned potatoes or apples and maybe kill a rat or . two. But we Daltons match our knowledge every night against a rat's cunning. No traps, no poison, no dogs, no ferrets." Eyes Coat of Arms He raised reverent eyes to the family coat of arms, awarded in the days of Queen Victoria for cleaning the rats out of Buck ingham Palace. "We been in the profession since 1710," he said. "My ances tors caught live rats for the fighting pits where they, used to match rats against ferrets or dogs. 'Ere, looka this pitcher." PICKING ON THEM Sioux Fall, S. D. U.R) An "ice . pick vandal" apparently has a bitter grudge against Mr. and Mrs. Carl Callies. Callies reported to police the vandal has slashed and ruined 10 tires on the family car over a period of. several months. Officers say he also set fire to a seat cushion in the car. It was an old print of a dog in hot pursuit of a half dozen rats. The captain read: "Billy, the celebrated rat kill- in doe. performing his wonder ful feat of killing 100 rats in five minutes and a half. April 22, 1823." Used for Experiments The Daltons send most of the rsts to laboratories for experi ments. William dropped one bit of in telligence about rats. They un cannily pick out the best things to eat. Once, he said, he was sur prised to find they had eaten the cheapest sausages in a ware house. "Confidentially," the ware house owner told William, "the cheaper sausages are better."
