CITY COUNCIL1
VIEWS WIRING
Finos
The business of running the
city in all its detail was dis
cussed by the council in regular
session Monday night with J. J.
Keller, veteran city father and
president of the council, wield
ing the gavel In the absence of
Mayor John H. Houston.
Discussion .of the wiring at
the city airport was brought up
by Electrical Inspector J. M.
Wauchope who observed that de
fective wiring might result in
loss to the city as well as to
individuals whose planes were
housed In the building. At a
cost of between $75 and $100,
the wiring could be remedied,
Wauchope stated. Fire protec
tion at the airport was deemed
inadequate. The matter was re
ferred to the airport committee.
Residents of the Michigan ave
nue and East Main street sec
tion had their dander up and
asked the council to remove a
Foster and Kleiser sign at that
corner. The sign, petitioners
said, was "an eye sore." The
matter was turned over to the
advertising company.
Two representatives of Veter
ans of Foreign Wars, Pelican
Post No. . 1383, appeared and
asked support and approval of
the council in giving Saturday
night dances at Skateland on
Klamath avenue. The two were
Commander H. J. McGllvray and
J. A. Souther, senior vice com
mander. Members of VFW would
be on hand at all dances and
the juvenile problem would be
adequately handled the council
was assured. Chief of Police
Earl Heuvel said he would ap
prove and that a number of the
organization were members of
the Police Reserve and he
thought they "could handle the
situation satisfactorily."
Fire Chief Keith K. Ambrose
was given- an OK to buy 500
feet of 21-inch fire hose.
Councilman Walter Wiesen-
danger told those sitting around
the table that he had just made
an inspection tour alone the Old
Fort road and that papers, boxes.
magazines and garbage had been
thrown along the road leading
to tne dump grounds. It was sue-
gested that J. A. McRoberts of
the street department take a few
prisoners out and clean up the
road and that the prowl car
cnecK to see if they could pick
up offenders. The council will
also consult the garbage trucks
to see if a cover can be placed
over the loads while traversing
the rough stretch.
Chief Heuvel reported that he
had contacted the Humane so
ciety and had been advised that
live or dead dogs and cats would
be picked up by the society, and
in me event residents "can't
pay," this service would be free.
As a rule, it costs 50 cents to
put a cat to sleep, a dog, $2,
and a dead dog picked up is
worm $1.
Inspector Wauchooe asked the
council to authorize membership
in the Pacific Coast Building Of
ficials conference at a cost of
io. waucnope said that the
city had used the code for the
past eight or 1Q years, and that
we iu code and late revision
were needed. The matter wm
approved.

The- Chuguev and Belgorod
sectors still were the centers
of the most violent fighting in
the Donets area, the Germans
employing Increasing numbers

there was no serious denting of
the soviet line. Along the long

The noon communique said
that soviet artillery fire dis

in the area of Chuguev, which
is 22 miles southeast of Khar

hurled back "with heavy losses"
when they attacked in one sec

Mareth line.
The Algiers report Indicated
that British 8th army troops
were now only 60 miles from
junction with American forces
and suggested that Rommel's "es
cape corridor" to the north had
been narrowed to a score of
miles,
British Retake Nefsa
While the 8th army virtually
held Rommel's forces in a sack,
placing the axis hold on the
Mareth line in extreme jeopardy,
Lieut.-uen. k. a. n. Anaersons
British 1st army troops were re
ported to have retaken Nefsa sta
tion, 47 mjles west of BUerte, In
northern Tunisia.
While the British 8th army de
veloped a mighty frontal blow
agaltist the Mareth line, Rommel
was reported to have massed a
strong force of tanks and artil
lery to meet the threat to El
Hamma. Allied warplancs of
ficially announced to have
scored bomb hits on at least 32
nazi tanks in the El Hamma
sector and destroyed nine of
them.
A bulletin from allied head
quarters said U. S. troops under
Lieut.-Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.,
seized Maknassy and then swept
on eastward toward the sea.
Occupy Ridge
An Algiers broadcast said the
Americans occupied a ridge three
miles beyond Maknassy, which
would place them only 31 air
line miles from the gulf.
In the south, Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery's British 8th
army was reported continuing its
successful assault into Mareth
line defenses, after cutting a
breach in the outer works, and
a communique said heavy fight
ing was in progress.
Allied headquarters said Gen.
Montgomery's forces had cap
tured 1700 prisoners so far, with
the nazis losing ground despite
strong counterattacks.
Wedge Driven
A Morocco broadcast reported
that the 8th army had driven a
wedge into "the best defended
part of the Mareth fortifications
and described the attack as "the
most concentrated ever wit
nessed." PUC Complaint Filed

"That, because of the war tne
necessary materials cannot be
readily procured, and they say
that you have given them a tarm
of rates which could not be lived
up to or maintained should they
reconstruct or properly maintain
their heating system, Including
the return lines, and for that
reason they do not purpose to

in the respects here mentioned.
"Again, this utility maintains
most serious soot, cinder and

prevailing winds are from the

the restitution of steam and hot
water connections to the city
swwers, will be read by the city
council for the third and final
reading Monday, March 22,
1943. This ordinance provides

ulations, pago 12, section 3, of
our tariff now on file with tho
Public Utility Commission of
Oregon. In event we are forced
to do this, you will have to con
sult the city plumbing inspector
or city engineer, as to what
method you can use to dis

City Plumbing Inspector O.
D. Matthews Monday night, fol
lowing the council meeting, ax
plained the action of the con
densation on the city system.
He explained that the water
was "hungry for iron" and eats
out the pipe.
"Some of the heating com
pany lines have deteriorated,"
Matthews said, "to the point
wnore they are leaking beyond
service. Whon this condition
exists, instead of repairing
these return lines the heating
company is abandoning them
and diverting the condensation
to our sower system. And In
many cases this condensation Is
diverted to the plumbing sys
tem wl till ii the building. There
fore this condensation has a
tendency to eat tho plumbing
piping, the same as It has the
return lines."
"If certain conditions exist,
whereby it is impossible to Im
mediately repair the roturn
lines and the city deems it ad
visable to permit the water to
enter the city sewers rather
than exact considerable con
struction work on streets, al
leys and sidewalks, then a sys
tem may be worked out where
by this condensation can be
carried off through the city
sewers without this steam ex
hausting and causing this haz
ardous condition, and by the
heating company's payment of
this foe referred to in the ordi
nance of $7.50 per connection."
