SOUTH SIXTH GETS
BETTER LIGHTING
One of the city's darkest
streets, South Sixth from Klam
ath avenue to the viaduct, may
soon become one of the best
lighted following recent action
of the city council in coopera
tion with the traffic safety
council.
Admitting that the stretch of
seven blocks creates a traffic
hazard with its poorly equipped
lighting fixtures, steps have
been taken to remove the nine
60-candle power lamps and re
place them with nine 400- can
dle power lamps. This will In
crease the cost of operation by
$14.67 per month, according to
Councilman Walter Wiesendan
ger, light and water chairman.
Original plans called for re
placement with 600-candle pow
er lamps on luminaire fixtures.
The latter are now unobtainable
and this plan has been discard
ed. Cost of the change will be
handled by the city in view of
the fact the state highway de
partment will not be able to
make any changes not deemed
necessary during the emer
gency. Russell Crandall

Third plan to be discussed by
