Newspaper Page Text3 Persons Petition City Fathers To Withhold Sale Of Lots To Negro Pastor Monday night's council was a love test compared . to last week's stormy session but three persons filed informal protests with the city fathers asking that the city refrain from selling lots for the use of colored people in the Commercial street area. The council had previously advised that February 18 would be the time when a decision would be handed down following the strong protest registered last week. Ike Zumwalt, property owner, said he objected to what he termed a "colored Hoover hotel," and two other holders, Mrs. Pearl Lovelace and Mrs. Nettie Newbanks, petitioned the coun cil to withhold the sale of the lots to Mrs. Caroline Timms, col ored pastor, on the grounds that it would reduce value of their property. o The petition of E. C. Ellis, who wishes to construct a retail mar ket at Shasta way and Division, whs read to the council and Ellis . advised to go to the appeal board as establishment of a market would violate the zoning ordi nance. The petition was signed by various property owners. Gus Johnson, city building in spector, advised the council that he had not approved a similar request by Frank Ferrari who , wants a store at Eberlein and Martin. Safety Council The appointment of other members on the safety council .. was announced by Mayor Ed " Ostendorf and approved. The new members are Dave Hoss, A. R. Triplett, John McAndrews, " George Barthman and Bill Mc ' Kibbin. A resolution authorizing the city engineer to block off any portion of a city street or alley - deemed hazardous to public ' travel, was introduced and pass- ed by the council. The public - will be denied use of any such ; blocked off area and those using the areas thus designated will do so at their own risk, the reso lution set forth. Councilman C. P. Van Doren ' reported that a 400-watt light will be placed at S. 6th and Mar- ' tin, scene of a fatal accident two .v weffts ago. . The city attorney, Henry Per kins, urged the council to pre- Eare any measures which the ody plans to place on the May primary ballot in view of the fact that it takes approximately two months to get the measures under wav and completed. Mayor Ostendorf invited the council to sit in on a meeting of the budget and bond commit tees Thursday at 4 p. m. At this time, Ostendorf said, the com mittees will study the city's bonded indebtedness and also discuss the 1946-47 budget. The mayor advised that the city has levied $100,000 for bond retirement and $ou,oou interest "If we are able to cut that down we should be able to save considerable millage," the mayor said and this would ISc- roundly discussed at Thursday s session Letter Heard The council heard a letter from J. M. Dcvers, chief counsel of the Oregon state highway commission, in which Devers ad vised the commission contem plates immediate improvements on S. 6th between Owens and the city limits and plans and specifications will require that poles be removed from present locations and if reinstalled with in the right-of-way limits they should be installed between the curb line and sidewalk line and that water mains of the Califor nia Oregon Power company be installed in the sidewalk area. Devers advised that the state will pay labor costs involved in moving the water lines but that the state will contribute nothing toward removal and installation of poles and other facilities. Councilman Rollin Cantrall moved that the letter be placed on file and that such informa tion be passed on to the power company. It was pointed out mat tne city aoes not wisn to incur any indebtedness in con nection with the improvements, but that Klamath Falls is anx ious to get the project under way ana to cooperate wun me commission in order that bids be let as soon as possible on the job.
