Central Point Voters
To Consider $150,000
Bond Issue in Fall
Central Point Residents of
Central Point will vote this
fall on a $150,000 bond issue
for Improvement of city water
facilities. This decision was
reached at a special meeting
last night of the Central Point
City council.
The proposed bond issue
would include construction of
a one million gallon reservoir,
additional water mains and a
pumping station for mainten
ance of constant water pres
sure.
Lloyd Clark, of Clark and
Groff engineers, discussed va
rious features of the proposed
improvements as recommend
ed in his company's survey
of Central Point's water sys
tem. He assured the council
that the estimated cost could
be met by a $130,000 bond
issue. An increase in construc
tion costs from the time of
the survey and the estimated
date, for calling for bids had
been anticipated.
Clark suggested timing the
calling for bids to coincide
with the slack construction
season in winter months. Bid
ding competition at that time
would be keener, Clark said.
The council also held a pub
lic hearing to consider curb
ing and paving of Eighth St.
Several interested residents
attended to voice their appro
val. Since no protests were
heard the Improvements were
ordered and June 6 was set as
the date for opening bids.

Miss Mabel Tyrell, a former

and show curios of her field
work in Africa.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Carrell,
of the Butte Falls area, where
they raise registered horses,
were down this way Friday to
buy some full sized- bales of
hay for their quarter horses.
These horses, generally
thought of as race horses, are
really raised for "cow" horses.
They are nimble, sure-footed
and fast for this sort of work.
- Awhile back we were at
a meeting where the many
ladies present war wearing
hats which seemed mostly
to be bouquets of flowers.
They made the room look
like an apple orchard in full
bloom, which caused our al-
lergy to begin to flare up,
until someone told us the
flowers were artificial.
What a revolting develop
ment! .
The Norman Matteson fam
ily are moving this week into
their own home recently va
cated by the Paul Reads, who
are now living in Medford.
This house, known as the
Lydiard house, some SO years
ago, was owned and occupied
by Mrs. Matteson's grandpar
ents, Mr. and Mrs. D. D, Sage
and children.
After a talk with Bill Glass,
the Arkansas trapper and jack
of many trades, we couldn't
resist the temptation of bring
ing up the screaming cougar
controversy again. Bill says in
the Ozark mountains in Ar
kansas panthers are plentiful.
Should anyone tell a native
there that panthers didn't
scream, they would think
there was something wrong
with his head. According to
Bill, panthers or cougars do
most of their screaming in
early morning or late evening.
When emitting these hair rais
ing screams they place their
front paws on the ground
with their nose between them.
In reading the county budg
et recently completed, i t
would seem the committee is
more generous than in times
past. We recall a budget com
mittce meeting of about 30
years ago. William Gore had
gone to Washington, D.C., and
got a bill passed in Congress
giving to the counties certain
tracts of timber land claimed
by the Southern Pacific rail
road. Gore had farmed most of
his life, but taught school in
his younger days. Records of
school District 44 show that
he taught there for a salary
of $50 a term, the term being
three months. Neither of these
occupations were very remun
erative and Gore wasn't so
young anymore.
Funds were coming In from
the O and C land grant and
his friends thought citizens of
the county should show their
appreciation by giving him a
small percentage of the funds
he had secured, or at least a
worthwhile pension. The mat
ter was taken up with the
court and budget committee.
They said If Gore would apply
for an old age pension It
would be granted, but for no
more than others could get.
The only person we know that
was getting a pension at that
time was man said to be
over 100 yean old who was
receiving $10 a month.
A check with county treas
urer's office shows that $2,
314,670 was received by the
county for the fiscal year 59
and 60
funds.
from the O and C
Our genial slave driving
boss tells us that when he
finished school and was
ready to go on his own his
father gar him a job at
$80 a month -$30 in cash
and $50 in experience. We
turmise that the $30 has
long since departed, but he
is still using the experience.
We gue.s he may be like
others we have heard of,
who have the first dollar
they made.
A fair-sized attendance was
recorded by the secretary at
last Sunday's session of the
local Sunday school. All moth
ers were remembered with
gifts of flowering plants.
Thought for the day:
Farmers don't need to set
their clocks ahead. They are
always ahead of the clocks
At times during this season of
the year they meet themselves
going to bed as they get up
in tne morning.
