CITY COUNCIL
OUSTS DOWNS
AS INSPECTOR
The city council last , night
suspended A. W. Downs, city
building inspector, who is in
jail charged with arson. Tem
porarily stepping into the posi
tion will be Police Judge Harold
Franoy, who was granted per
mission to Dass on construction
until a new building inspector
Is chosen.
Councilmen decided to with
hold $15, which Downs alleged
ly owed the city, from his sal
ary. The former building inspec
tor is specifically accused of
burning one local building.
Arising with the business of
building inspector was a re
quest from Mark Green of 515
Jefferson for permission from
the council to continue work on
a house he was building. Green
had gotten permission to re
model an old building on the
back of his lot, but when he
discovered that it was beyond
repair he was granted a build
ing permit to build a 3-room
cottage there as he wanted to
save the front part for another
house he planned to build at a
later date. After the concrete
foundation had been laid Downs
then advised Green that he
move the house to the front
part of his lot as Green was
building a two-story house in
stead of the three-room cottage.
Green's request to continue the
work was referred to the may
..; or's office.
The baseball question raised
its head again last night when
Mrs. Charles Hdllenbeck of 625
Adams street, charged that an
other window in her house had
been broken. She has added 14
baseballs to her collection dur
ing the past week. The council
stated that it could do nothing
about it as she had not allowed
it to put up on her property,
screens which would protect her
from the baseballs. Mrs. Hollen
beck declared that the park was
a menace to property and was
a chicken yard. Councilman
Paul Landry asked her to bear
with the council and the games
as only a few remained to be
Stayed. Councilmen Landry and
larvey Martin arranged to meet
with Charles Hollenbeck this
evening in an effort to settle
the matter.
' A bill for $14.60 from the
Glass House was presented to
the council by the West End
.'market, charging that their
store window had been cracked
'by a rock left on the street by
the city when a nearby sewer
was Being repaired. E. A.
Thomas, city engineer, explained
that a loose rock in the street
had been thrown by a truck or
car, cracking the window. He
pointed out that the rock was
not necessarily left there when
the city had repaired the sewer
but could have come from
number of other sources. This
matter was referred to the city
attorney to determine if the city
was liable.
Thomas requested permission
from the council to put in a
storm sewer at S. Riverside next
to the California Oregon Power
company warehouse.
The outlet which in the nast
had gone into low property has
peen lunng up until it is now
necessary to run the storm
sewer to a lower point. This
project, costing $300, was ap-
jjrovea cy me council. .
A recommendation from the
gift commission advised the
council that it purchase lots
from Mrs. Geneva Finnell for
the Memorial park. The city at
torney was authorized to pre
pare tne necessary papers to
carry out the $12,000 sale. The
gift commission also advised
that the city pay Syd Evans
$7000 for block 27 of the orig
inal town, this property to be
used in the Memorial park. This
was accepted by the council
with the understanding that
Evans was to remove buildings
vi uic jaiiu wiiuiji six monins.
'. The council moved to pur
chase lot 3 and the west 12 hi
feet of lot 2, block 29, of the
original town for $3300 to be
included in the Memorial park.
It is owned by Dama Lennan.
