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."
