Sewer Permit There was also much discus sion about a per in i t which would authorize the navy to connect the sewer from the new houshiK project south of the city limits to the city sewer. The permit which hnd been sent to tho navy In Seattle by Mayor Ostendorf was read and proposed additions were drawn up by council members and ttic city attorney. . Tho sewer which the navy will build lit an estimated cost of $711, UUU, will bo operated by the city of Klamath Kails. Dis cussion resulted from the ques tion as to whether the board of health would allow the sewer to be disconnected after the I roject was taken down. It was feared that perhaps the sewer, which Is outside of the city lim its, would bo connected with tho city sewer permanently. It was decided to add another paragraph to the permit snylnn thai If the navy had not Kottcn far enough along on the project within 120 days, tho city would disconnect It. Airport Report A report wns rend from the airport committee of the coun cil telling of a trip lo the old city hangar at the airport which is In need of repair. At present .there arc a considerable number of fire hazards and it was decid ed that a letter should be writ ten to the commander of the naval air station, the unit which Is now leasing the hangar, to request them to put the hangar in a better condition from a fire standpoint. If this can be done, It may be possible for the city to pay tho insurance on this building three years In advance Instead of one and so save over $200. A motion was made that n warrant be Is sued for the payment of the pre miums ns usual for this year and try lo Include the amount for the threc-yeor terms in the next city budget. New Building Inspector The new building inspector, Gus Ci. Johnson, was Introduced at the meeting and the mayor said thai ho had been hi led for the same amount, as the former inspector. Some ' question wns brought up as to whether ho should help the police depart ment with nuisance calls and it was decided thai he should spend his time witching up with the building permits lor the present, Hamilton, acting chief ol police, also said that he thought the po lice department could ensily handle all nuisance calls nl the present lime, The building Inspector shall also submit a report of Ills ex penses and Insurance to tho council and be reimbursed in ad dition lo his regular salary, Councilman Cnntrall brought up nl litis time his opinion that wncnevcr uny ol the city inspec tors need repairs on their ears or nnyllilng ol that nature,, they should report first to nn auth orized member of tho council for approval of the expenses. There was somo argument on this and It was brought out by Council man Paul Landry Hint It would not always be feasible for an In spector to hunt up n certain council member If repairs were needed In a hurry.- Contrail iniido a motion thai the men re port and ask for authorization of llioso expenses, but the motion was, lost for want of a second. , Paving Asked A group of residents of Michi gan avenue appeared before the council to ask what tho proce dure would bo to get Michigan nvenun paved and they were ad vised by the council and City Engineer E.

KF Man, Anchored In Tokyo Bay, Describes Surrender Mr. nnd Mrs. George Ulrlch O'.id Conger, have received a let ter from their son, Lt. Rowland L. Ulrlch. a communications of- fleer on the USS DeHaven, re cently in Tokyo bay. Lt. Ulrlch is also ship's censor on the ship, a flagship of the destroyer squadron. Following are parts of the let ter written on September 2: "This Is sort of iin extra spe cial letter to give you the details of what is probably one of the eventful days of our lives. How certain ships are chosen for spe cial assignment is beyond my simple powers of comprehen sion, but we must have been sit ting In the lap of the Gods at the right time for we were picked to take an admiral into Tokyo bay lo witness the official surrender ceremonies as a repre sentative of our task group and to be the flagship for the occa sion. So, our two star rear ad mirnl's flag was broken out as our guest, Rear Admiral J. F Shnforth, came aboard. "Before you rend any further tnkc a look at the postmark on the envelope. Only ships actual ly in the bay itself are permitted to use this so thai puts us right in there again. , Saw Naval Base "To describe the nffnir chron logically: Wo were nil broken out of our bunks about 4:30 for breakfast this morning, In order to get everything.!!! readiness to anchor in the bay by 8:30, It was daylight very early so we did some first class sight-seeing on Ihe way in. One of Hie scenes we will all remember is that of the big Yokasuka naval base with the Japanese battleship Nagato dominating tho scene with her ugly pagoda most, so typically Jap. She is lying there now, Harmless, a snip with her teeth pulled.

In this made-to-ordcr posi tion, we had a ringside seat lo watch the various ships bringing the generals and admirals and high ranking officials from the different allied nations to wit ness and sign tho documents. The climax of the ceremony, when a great fleet of B-20's and carrier planes flew over the Mis souri, was indeed a display that made us all proud of our armed forces. Imagine, 500 Superforts plus 800 assorted varieties of navy planes, all sweeping across the sky in one sprawling group! It was a sight that we shall prob ably never sec again. Fujiyama Hlddon "Geographically, the spot where we anchored is about six miles from the city of Yoko hama, with Tokyo itself up the bny about 15 miles further) We arc able to see many of the in-j dustrial buildings of the former i city and even a few of Tokyo's landmarks are barely visible, i Our one big regret is Uiat Mt.

MacArthur left the Missouri after the ceremony, the destroyer, flying its flag, passed only a couple of nunared yards from us. The general and his staff officers were out on deck at the time so we had a good long distance look at him, too. "I must close now and drop this in the mailbox pronto. Our admiral will be returning soon and we will be getting underway shortly to return to our own task group. "By the way, today estab lished an endurance record for our ship so far, this being our 63rd straight day underway at sea. A long time steaming in any man's language."
