Gloria Kledcer i Five Mill City Second Grodes Get Shots For Polio Thursday Gty Engineer Talks to Businessmen Friday 0. K. Hirte Injured In Car Accident W. N. Haner, city engineer, from Portland, met with businessmen of Mill City at Friendship hall Friday evening, to talk on the cost of putting the streets of the city in shape. Mr. Haner stated the first move should be the grading and getting rid of the duck ponds in the town and getting the streets in shape for sur- facing, He said that if a bond issue in the amount of $97,000 could be passed, all main business streets of the city could be suifaced from curb to curb and that the streets with less traffic could have a good seal coat to eliminate the dust, The work could be done for less money now than when the original survey was made in 1952. No other business was taken up at the meeting Fiiday, and only a few businessmen were present. Oswald K. Hirte, who had been in . the Santiam Memorial hospital •C ' Stayton with critical injuries lined an automobile accident last Wednea- 1 day night, was moved to a Salem hospital. Hirte received a broken back when his car collided with the left front fender of Al Havener’s car as he wa* attempting to pass the latter on th« North Santiam highway almost in front of Whities Santiam Cafe be tween Mill City and Gates. Hirt«, who had attended a banquet here of the Rainbow Oil la, to which hie daughter belongs, was hurrying td Gates to get in on the last of a Bof Scout banquet there where his so® was present. After hitting the Havener caí. Hirte’s car left the highway, rolling 276 feet, returning to the highway and throwing the driver an additional 50 feet from where it stopped. A statd policeman happened to be at the seen«, an ambulance was called, and th« injured man was rushed to the ho»» ! nital. At last report, he was still i® traction, but was conscious and able I to talk. A fatal heart attack to another Gates resident came at almost the same time. George Clise, a close friend of Mr. Hirte, who had given aid at the scene of the accident, drove to Mill City to notify Mrs. Hirte of th« iccident. Mrs. Clise ran into the lodge nail to tell Mrs. Hirte and her daught er, and found upon her return to the car, that her husband had suffered the fatal attack. Businessmen To Postpone Meeting Until Next Week The meeting of the businessmen is being postponed this week due to too many conflicting dates. It is ex pected that a meeting will tie held next week, and cards will be sent out notifying all businessmen of the place and time.
