After a half hour - of blcker I a f. Councilman Van Camp brought the matter . temporarily to a head by moving that City Engineer Thomas be tnstrncted to bring In a report on cost esti mates, etc., for the council's onslderatlon next Monday night. Humble Opposed Clarence Humble, an attorney living at Erie street and Pacific Terrace, earrlod the tight against the proposed program, while half a doien Hillside residents sup ported the Improvement u a move of Importance not only to property owners there but in the city as a whole. E. M. Chilcote, Reese Wingard, Le Carter, Gor don Smith and W. M. Montellua were among tknse on that side of the debate. Humble declared that (0 per cent ot the properly In the pro posed district Is unimproved, that taxes there are 75 per cent delinquent, and sewer assess ments equally delinquent "If they can't pay their sewer aa aessmenta, I don't see how they can carry 1150 paving assess ments," he remarked. Need for Houses Cited Proponents of the paving plan ' were quick to point out that Humble Uvea down on Pacific Terrace, where there Is pave ment. Chilcote, who argued at length on the matter, declared that the opposition is coming chiefly from persona who live on the paved Pacific Terrace, and don't car whether those higher tip aver get out ot the mud. Others made similar comment. Chilcote cited the need for irew houses in Klamath Falls, and he said that If surfacing is provided for the streets into the hill district, more houses will be built there. Otherwise, he said, the city can expect a good deal of that property to be given ud and taken off the tax rolls. Monteliua declared that he knows ot at least 10 houses that would be built in the district It the street surfacing goes through. Wingard and Smith said they had recently acquired property on the hill and were anxious to aee the streeta made passable. Humble took cognizance of the Inference that he was cracking at a worthy project from the high and dry aafety of a paved stmt. He got ap and declared that his garage la half a block up Erie street. He asserted that he had never had trouble getting In the garage, and that further more, he had never known of a time when a resident or the n ill side, had left his car at the bot tom of th'e hill and walked home. Concrete vs. Macadam Humble aald that It would be necessary to put In reinforced concrete paving for some dis tance up Erie street, and offered estimates of cost Chilcote de clared Bumble's figures were "silly." The whole business started when a petition for the Improve ment was read. It was signed by 18 property holders. It asked for macadam paving on Erie street from Pacific Terrace to Hillside, Hillside to Auburn, Au burn to Damont, Damont west to Hillside, Hillside from Dixon north to Erie. It also would em power the council to add Laguna street irom Auburn to Shasta View. No curbs or sidewalks were proposed, but Van Camp asked that Thomas bring In an estimate on a sidewalk on one side of the street. . The council spent- considerable time discussing the sale ot city owned lots. This was Inspired by a request from R. B. Had ley to move a bouse from Hot Springs to two lots on Worden street, which Police Judge Rich mond said were lots the city had sold,' or nearly sold, for (60 a week or so ago. - When It was brought out that this sale price did not represent what the city had against the lots, the council decided to hold up the house mover's permit snd also to call off the sale of the lots. It was said the matter had been left in the hands of the finance committee. However, no " money had been taken in and the council decided no deal had been closed. Councilman Hosklng said that the city ought to have a compe- j tent committee appraise all of J Its lots and list them with real i estate men . for sale, and it j should be possible to get this i property , back on the tax rolls before long. Councilman Thomas said he thought it was too soon to take that Btep. Thomas said that the Burrell Short family owns 11 lots in Mills addition which can be ob tained reasonably and held for park purposes. It was decided there are no funds at the time to pursue this project. H. P. Boswortb, manager ot the power company, appeared to discuss a proposed amendment to the electrical ordinance to permit Installation of flexible conduits, which qualify under state and federal codes. The amendment was passed through first reading, and probably will be adopted with an emergency clause next Monday night. No More Dummy; 'Stand-in Now Spanky McFarland, filmland child comedian.
