CITY COUNCIL
TO CONSIDER
HEALTH UNIT
Aft or hearing Mayor Mahoney,
County Superintendent Peterson,
and. Dr. Cecil Adams as repre
sentative of the medical society,
declare their approval of the
proposed county health unit plan,
the city council Monday iilcht
called a meeting for Thursday
afternoon for flnnl consideration
of city participation In this pro
gram. Under this plan, all the public
health agencies in the county
and city would be unified under
one head, and the program would
be enlarged through federal as
BlBtance. It Is the plan advanced
for Klamath county by Dr. Fred
erick Strieker on his recent visit
here.
Augmented Service
Superintendent Peterson first
explained the scheme to the
council, pointing out that it
meant augmented service at no
additional local cost. As a mat
ter of fact, Peterson averred,
there should be substantial sav
ings to the county fcr health
aervlce given through the relief
agency which cost $5000 the
last three months.
Mayor Mahoney said that at
first he was afraid the plan
would upset the city's food in
spection program, but that after
It waa explained to him by Dr.
Strieker, he decided It would
not only keep Intact the present
service, but would provide addi
tions that have been badly need
' ed, such as a full-time laboratory
technician.
Hc'a Fot It
"I'm for it," said the mayor.
"I understand the chairman of
the health board, Bert Hall, is
for it. I think we should act as
soon as possible. In order that
the program can get under way." j
Dr. Adams declared that the
medical society . la strongly sup
porting the move. Public health
matters, he said, have become
somewhat of a "mess" here, and
the county unit plan would
unify the program, put it under
a strong, young, trained public
health man as director, and
standardize the whole thing.
City Councilman Charles
Thomas said that in an area
south of town there Is a danger
ous health menace, with cess
pools overflowing. He intimat
ed that Dr. Strieker bad done
nothing about that when It was
called to his attention.
Inspector's Salary Raised
"Of course he didn't," said
Adams. "It's our problem.
When we throw our own prob
lems at him, he will throw them
right back at us. That's why we
need an effective county health
program."
The county court, county
school - board, city elementary
school board and city council
are Included in the proposed pro
gram. Representatives of the
groups may be at the Thursday
meeting, called for 2 o'clock.
The council authorized a $50
a month increase for Dr. J. C.
Hunt, city food inspector, bring
ing his salary to $200 a month,
to be paid out of health service
fees. This puts him on a level
with - the fire chief and police
chief, who were raised to $200
a month last week. These raises,
as well as $ 5 in the street de
partment, $10 in the fire de
partment employe salary lists,
and $15 in the city engineer's
wages, were okehed by the coun
cil In formal session. '
Traffic Lights Again
Amid the general talk of up
plng salaries, Jean Van Fleet, of
the police judge's office, re
marked off-hand that she guessed
"we're the only ones left out in
the cold."
Councilman Thomas, vigorous
worker for Main street traffic
lights, brought the matter np
again. He proposed that the
council advertise for bids for
such lights.
"We'd better see if the coun
cil wants them," said Council
President John Keller.
"That's what I am doing, " re
plied Thomas. "I want to find
- out."
Councilman J. E. Van Camp
said that he was against spend
ing money for Bignal systems at
this time.
NYA Traffic Survey
Then City Engineer E. A.
Thomas brought the discussion
to a close, pointing out that un
der the NYA, a traffic survey is
now being made on Main Btreet
that will supply important in-
formation to be considered in
connection with such proposals.
Councilman Thomas agreed it
would be best to wait.
The council again went on
record for raising the 60-year
age limit In the police depart
ment. Councilman Elmer Hock
ing recalled that the council had

TIL ON FILE
A motion for a new trial was
made Tuesday in the case of
Daniel and Cornelius Fitzgerald
against Carl Stuart, doing busi
ness as the Klamath-Medford
truck line. .
This case was tried in court
last week, resulting in a $3200
verdict for the plaintiffs, who
sued because of damage done to
a flock of sheep on the Green
springs highway by a truck.
In their motion for a new
trial, Attorneys George M. Rob
erts and William McAIister for
the defendants cited alleged er
rors tn law. They asserted that
the court admitted evidence
tending to fix the market valne
of lambs at fire or six months
after the collision, even though
the lambs were not born at the
time of the collision and when
born were dead. The court, they
claimed, rejected the defense
theory that the measure of
damage should be the diminish
ed value of the ewe, before and
after aborting.

The state liquor stores all

FOREST WORKERS
More than 200.000 pounds of

men were transported on firo

result of the use of airplanes by
the U. S. Forest Service during
1935, officials said today. Also
more than 20.000 square miles
of National Forest area were
photographed for mapping pur
poses. These figures, somewhat small
er than those of the previous
year, reflect a relatively favor
able fire season In 1935. The
use of planes varies mainly with
the Intensity of forest fire fight
ing. The Forest Service owns
no planes, but contracts for the
use of aircraft. During tho sea

were recorded in the emergency
