PAVING PLEA
HEARD MONDAY
BY COUNCIL
Heat was added to the already
torrid temperature ot the city
council chamber last night hy
controversy orer the advisabil
ity ot a pavlnf program to serve
the residences on the bill above
Pacific Terrace.
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. Is getting along, too.
Now he has a real live stand-in In place of the dummy that formerly
was used. . And here's the stand-in. Joe Strauch of Chicago (left) talk

by ropes. In constant danger
of being struck by rocks loos

about the gruesome task ot ex

Jagged ledge, and lowering it
on down to the water. From
there it was taken hy boat to
the landing, and then canted
by stretch up the rim trail. Bow
den was unaware of the existence
of this trail when he began the
fatal descent of the rim at noon.
So said Newton Pettljohn. 17,

companied him almost to the
list, who waa watching (hem
from the Sinnott Memorial bal

heard one ot them shout; "Where
therea a will, theve'a a way."
Ilowden and Pettljohn were
ahead, and the latter saw his
companion full, He began picking
up cigarettes that marked Iho
path of the falling out h. Then
hit saw llowtlcn suddenly go eml-over-end
aa the rim-aiile as
sumed nearly a perpendicular
drop. It was then that Pettl
john realised that tragedy had
taken his companion, and turned
buck. Ilowden fell huntlroda of
feet down the wall.

Had the boys kjiown of the ex
istence of the trail, which Is ta
mlllar to virtually everyone In
the rim area, the accident would
not have happened, tha coroner
