3 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.

yesterday morning.
Hurd was given a sanity hear
ing when he was brought up for

clared .sunc, though mentally de
pressed as result of his war
service.
Judge David R. Vandenberg
may commit Hurd to the federal

for treatment, or it may be done
by request of a doctor.
Served Overseas
Hurd spent three years and
nine montlis overseas In Now
Guinea and the Philippines and
had part of his left hand shot
off in battle. While he was over
seas, the examiners wero told,
his wife deserted htm and aban
doned their two small children
somewhere in Idaho.
During service he had 21 at
tacks of malaria. Hurd wns dis
charged from the army last Au
gust, given a $:t4.H0 a month
Senslon for his disabilities, and
as not followed his occupation
as a cook since.
His father, Cecil Hurd. ap
peared before the hearing this
morning and testified that he
knew tnrre wns something men
tally wrong with the boy as soon
as he came home to Eugene after
getting out of tho army.
Hurd was nervous and de

ready to release him and could
not leave of his own accord. He
can be admitted tp the hospital

then would be under no com
pulsion to stav.
Hurd told the examiners that
