CITY MOTORCYCLE
IS AGAIN BEING
USED BY POLICE
Old "Purring Peter",' the city
police motorcycle that paid for Itself
In six weeks, Is again In use on the
city streets.
Warmer days in the spring have
brought heavier automobile traffic
onto Iho city streets, requiring a
more comprehensive surveillance of
the traffic situation In Klamath
Falls.
Owing to absence of County Traf
fic Officer II. E. Knowles policing
county and state highways, the city
has llttlo protection against speed
ers dining the day time.
Patrolman Argrave3 Is the city
speed cop, and spends a part of each
day In patrolling the city streets on
Hie motorcycle.
When tho motorcycle was pur
chased last spring, at the recom
mendation of Police Chief George
Humphrey, one of the arguments In
favor of the purchase, was that the
machine could pay for Itself In
fines. In Just six weeks, the motor
cycle had paid for Itself.

The Rock Creek road and bridge
tangle is divided into three unlU:
(1) the completion of the'bridge:
(2) the construction of the road
south from the eastern end of tho
proposed bridge to the terminus of
Conger avenue at the power com
pany plant; and (3) the improve
ment of Conger avenue from its
northern terminus to the pavement.
County Has Funds
Concerning the completion of the
bridge,' the county court has funds
available for the building of their
share of the structure, that Is, two
spans. One1 span would "lead from
the western bank of Link river to
Wilson Island and the second span
from Wilson island to the eastern
bank. On the west bank their part
In the work stops.
According to a (verbal agreement,
the third. span, from the west bank
of Link river, over the power com
pany pipe line and onto the road
along the side of the hill, must he
built by the city.
City Hns Xo Funds
The city has not sufficient funds
to build the. span. The power com
pany U not willing to sunmlt to an
Improvement district, holding that
they would be forced to pay for the
bridge entirely iut of their own
pocket. The power company owns
all tho property north of the termi
nus of. Conger avenue to the Link
River dam from the river bank, to
the top of the hill. They state
that it would hardly be. fall
to impose upon the power company
the entire financial burden of bulla- -in-3
the last span of the bridge. .
Construction of the road, from tho
proposed eastern end of the bridge
south to Conger avenue has been
practically completed by the power .
company, according " to agreement
with the county. They are not dis
posed to complete the project 'until
they are assured that the Rock
C:eek bridge will be built, as now
planned. They have spent $5000 Ih.
the grading of this road, Mr.. Boyle
said. ' ." '..'' ' -
Conger Avenue Improvement
rtefore the county bridge is com
pleted, the section of Conger ave
nue that i3 unpaved must be Un
proved, the county court told Con
ger avenue ' property . holder
Wednesday. Although the power
company could force aa Improve
ment district to Improve this sec
tion of road as they own over. 50
per cent of the property affected
they decline to do so on the ground
that it would be unfair u property
holders.' If 50 per cent of the prop
erty holders ; nrfected by the im
provement' eliminating the power
company signify their willingness
to go through with the Improvement
district tho power company will take
the necessary steps to create the
district, Mr. Boyle suld.
Refusal of tho power company to
agree to an Improvement district
(or flouncing the last span of the
bridge, will hold up construction of
the bridge for at least one year, It
is' predicted. ' The city can not
