I think we owe that fellow something. Try and rent a place Here, it s impossible. The mayor at this point sug gested they go on to other busi ness, at whicli point Cantrall re marked: "Does that burn you. mayor?" "No it doesn't," replied the mayor, xou can discuss it some other time. We've got other business. Any bids on the pound master's house?" It was not until after the coun cil had adjourned and the mayor was getting his hat, that the mat ter was again brought up. Can trall then told the group it was time to talk things over and "if the mayor didn't want to stay at the council, now was the time to do it." Judge Franey, who previously served in capacity of building inspector, told this group that in the future he would refer such requests to the council as he had turned down many similar ones. He had made a similar statement at the regular council meeting. When approval on the two car garage was asked of the council, Cantrall had demanded a poll of the votes. His was the only "no" cast. In Cantrall's opinion, "it was bad action" and he felt such leniency on the part of the council always reacted in Doomerang tasnion. It was routine business from there' on. Residents of the east side of California avenue, 1100 block, asked the' council to look into the condition of the street at that point The street committee and city engineer were asked to check. It was decided to insist on title insurance or abstract where the owner has abstracts, provided they are certified to date, in connection- with propery purchased or. accepted for Veterans' Mem orial park. The motion was made by Landry and seconded by Gantrall. The council granted a reauest of E. V. Zell for the Klamath Rescue mission, . to continue handling the building off S. 6th on Owens. A request made by L. W. Eng strom for the Klamath Commun ity fund, to stencil "One Day's Pay" on the curbing, was grant ed by the council. City Engineer E. A. Thomas reported on the elimination of the traffic hazard at N. 11th and the canal, and said he had talked i things over with F. W. Van Bus- kirk, property owner, and they had agreed to cut back five in stead of six feet, thereby saving van uusKirics trees, work will not be done until next year, Thomas observed. The engineer also reported that a complete re view ot street work would be given at next week's meeting, and mat worn was virtually completed on the corrugated iron. culvert at 9th and Jeffer son. The foundation for the pump house at the cemetery is com pleted and trenches for the sprinkling lines are being dug, Thomas said. The ornamental standard at Roseway drive has been knocked down and the street committee was asked to check. An ordinance to purchase property for Veterans' Memorial park from Mrs. Alice Z. Goeller, at a price of $1200, was intro duced. Mrs. Goeller's donation to the fund will be $60. Cantrall advised the council that the city was not budgeted to taKe on any additional pay ment such as the six months' ad vance to the heating company under the customers' deposit plan. "it we could, we would eive it consideration," Cantrall said. We are only budgeted for monthly payments for the fiscal year. I wouldn't recommend doing anything else." Councilman Angus Newton proposed planting elm trees In the city park and offering ,thesc trees when thev are eleht or 10 feet tall, to replace the poplars and willows that 'damage the sewer pipes. His suggestion was well received and the mayor said he would offer the idea to mem bers of the park board.

Showdown Seen On Tax Repeal WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (P) Turnlim down rcmtblican substi tute proposals, the house ways and means committee moved to day toward a quick showdown on the administration proposal to repeal the 8 per cent normal tax on individual incomes. Repeal would cut 1!)4U hull vidual tax burdens by $2,085,' 000.000 and relieve an estimated 12,000,000 low-incomo persons from any income taxes after this year. The committee voted down two substitutes to the adminis tration program offered by Rep, Knutson (R-Minn.). One, instead of outright repeal, would have reduced the normal tax to two instead of three per cent. The other proposed to put tho normal tax at one per cent. The normal tax is collected on all personal net Income over $500 regardless of the number of taxpayers de pendents.
