storms the rest of the season, the

their "ohs" and "ahs" of amazed
delight, before the sky clouded
over and the lake appeared as a
silver sheet or glass.
Picnic Grounds
' No eating or sleeping ac
commodations are available in

from the council, stated that
since the canal was built for the
convenience of growers, and
agriculture has enriched the
basin through water use from
the canal, the bureau considered
that the community benefiting
should carry a substantial part
of the cost of maintenance and
repairs. Stephens maintained
that the canal was put through
and the town built up around it
later.
Bureau's Refusal
Mayor Ed Ostendorf stated
that the bureau had refused to
shoulder the responsibility for
the break that occurred in the
canal in the south part of town,
and should be held to pay the
entire cost of lining the canal
to prevent seepage. Stephens'
letter suggested that concrete
lining for the whole canal would
be a commendable project for
government postwar plans.
The matter was referred to the
city attorney and the mayor for
further action.
7 Applications
Seven applications have been
received for city building in
spector, the mayor announced.
No one has been appointed to
date, and applications for the
position are still being consid
ered. Duties Discussed
Much discussion revolved
about the duties of building in
spector. It was pointed out tnat
tne position has included sani
tary inspection, and nuisance in
vestigation in past periods, the
person taking tne position work
ing both for the city and for the
police department.
The tact that building has in
creased so tremendously in the
last year, brought up the ques
tion of whether the inspector
would have time to devote to the
police department require
ments. The council decided to
settle this point before appoint
ing a new man. notice Judge
Harold Franey is at present act
ing as temporary building in
spector. -
Chang Approved
The council aDDroved a chanee
from a remodeling permit to a
new construction permit for
Mark A. Green, SIS Jefferson,
who changed his mind about re
modeling his old house and dis
mantled it to build a new one.
Former Building .Inspector
D..wns, found the new structure
was two feet too close to the
Cummings' property next door,
but the appeal board passed the
approval on construction provid
ing a written commitment of
Cummings' consent be obtained.
A regular loading zone for the
600 block on Klamath was sug
gested by the committee of traf
fic safety in response to a re
quest by the Refrigeration
Equipment company for a load
ing zone. At present there is no
such zone in the block. This
matter was referred to Council
men Paul Landry : and Harvey
Martin for further checking. -Permission
Granted
Swift and company. Market
street, requested permission to
knock out the curb along the
front of their property, and pave
the entire 50 foot, width be
tween their building and : the
street, which permission was
granted by the council; after
much discussion of the pros and
cons involved in such action.
Landry voiced a motion to
authorize the city . attorney to
rescind th? s!d ordinance on con
trol of inflammable liquids and
adopt the new 1941 underwriters
code. It was seconded by Angus
Newton and. unanimously
passed.
Committee of traffic safety
recommended ' allowing double
parking near U. S. post office
collection boxes, in lieu of estab
lishing a regular parking zone at
eacn box, which was suggested
by Burt E. Hawkins, Klamath
Falls postmaster.
An 18-page traffic ordinance
to which a new section has been
added, to prevent cutting of cor
ners, was read at the council
meeting, which was concluded at
11 p. m., with a reminder that
there will be no meeting next
Monday, which is a Labor Day
holiday. The next meeting will
be held Tuesday, September 4.

2,833,000 TO
GIVIE1 LIFE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (IP)
The navy set out today to re
turn 2,839,000 men and women
to civilian status within a year.
Secretary Forrestal outlined
the nnvy's vastly expanded de-
mooiuzaiion plans to newsmen
late yesterday. Previously the
sea arm contemplated discharg
ing between 1,500.000 and. 2.-
500,000 within a year or 18
months.
Now, however, the plan is to
cut back navy strength to 500,
000 enlisted personnel and 50.-
000 officers in the. next 12
months. That will mean the dis
charge of about 2,575,000 men
and women ana 264,000 officers.
Point Alteration!
Forrestal also reported that
the navy's point system for dis
charge will be altered to allow
credit for overseas service. This
credit, the secretary said, will
be included in the discharge
formula within about two
months without any reduction
in the present scores necessary
for discharge or any decrease in
the credit now allowed for age,
service or dependency.
The navy considers sea duty
as overseas service. -
Scores Told
Navy discharge scores now
are 44 for enlisted navy men,
49 for officers, 29 for enlisted
Waves and 35 for Wave officers.
Credit is given on the basis of
one-half point for each year of
age, one-half point for service
since September l, 1939, and 10
points for dependency, regard
less of the number of depend
ents. Forrestal emphasized that the
force of 500,000 men and 50,-
000 officers a year hence will
not necessarily represent the
prospective size of the postwar
navy.
Other postwar navy plans
which emerged from the news
conferences:
The navy will ask congress to
permit the transfer of up to 30,
000 reserve officers to the regu
lar navy.
The navy plans to keep a
force of Waves in the naval re
serve and, if congress approves,
a cadre of Waves will be kept
on active duty. Similar groups
of Spars, the coast guard auxil
iary, and of women marines,
also will be retained.
The educational system will
be revised because present fa
cilities at Annapolis can not
produce the number of officers
needed. The general plan calls
for an active naval reserve of
ficer training corps at various
colleges and universities with
further training at Annapolis.
