baid CanUttU. "Were con
stantly being besieged with simi
lar requests. I'm not for it. We
have a building code and we
should live up to it
In support of Selby's request
tor tne garage, councilman f. u
Landry nad this to say:
"Here's a man in service over
seas. 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.

On Tax Repeal

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

of the number of taxpayers de
