Local Budget Committee
Favors City Manager;
Need Experienced Head
Five Recommendations Made by Body; Pest
House, Street Lights, Street Flushing,
Sewer Situation, all -Included
Klamath Falls, a five million dollar corporation, needs
a city manager. Jt needs this paid executive just as
much as any private business of that magnitude would
need a general manager.
This is the belief of the city budget committee, which
in its report Saturday night, recommended to the city
council that careful study be given the city manager form
of government which litis proved such a success in other
growing cities throughout the nation. The committee
was of the opinion that the city's growth could be direct
ed in the right channel, if an experienced head, who
could devote his entire time to the city, was at the helm.
Nor was this all that the committee recommended. It
favored the construction of a new pest house; the paving
of Oregon avenue and south Sixth street; a sewage dis-
DOal plant; and 11 ytein if strict
light lu repine the iiiiiliitiuiod ,i
Icm that HOW prevails.

Safe-crackers invaded three Klamath stores last night
or early this morning, blew open one safe and were
frightened away from two others.
For the fourth time in one year, the small safe at the
Klamath Falls Creamery, 1248 Main street, was looted.
Approximately $200 was stolen, according to an estimate
made this afternoon by Glenn Kent, an officer of the
creamery.
Between 2 a. m. and 3 a. m. this morning, robbers,
supposedly the same gang that looted the creamery, en
tered the B. P. Lewis grocery store, 223 south Sixth
street, but were frightened away by Thomas Gurney,
who sleeps in the store.
They apparently crossed the street and broke into the
J. S. Mills & Co., implement house, Sixth and Klamath
avenue, but did not disturb an emp
