1 Mayor Given Authority To Bind City For $1728 For Power Pole Removal Authority to bind the city for . (1728 for removal of power poles to make way for the South 6th widening project was given Mayor Ed Ostendorf by the city council at last night's meeting. The action brought an end to a lengthy discussion among city authorities, state highway offi cials and Copco as to whether Me city snoum stand me expense of moving utilities in connection : with the major state , highway project on South 6th. The question was whether the city, under its own ordinances and regulations, was bound to pay for such removal. A study of (he city ordinances and resolu- 1!-.- ji-.l ,ntiA t Ua iiuiis uiatiuaeu nidi, auiivu ui city council in 1929 placed the burden upon the city to pay for removal of poles and otjier util . ily equipment which are proper- ly established as to grade and : which are to be moved in con nection with new improvements. 1 On the basis of that finding, the ' action was taken by the council last night and presumably the , way is now clear for the stateto proceed with the South 6th street job. The state highway department . will pay for moving utilities out side the city limits in connection with this project. . No Reports The widely-disputed question of the sale of city property for the construction of a negro church and rooming house on Commercial was conspicuous by its absence since no committee reports are available. Because of tne danger oi trai fic accidents the city fathers ad vised the city engineer that pe destrian zones be painted on S. 6th in the belief that the lack of designated crossings are partially responsible for pedestrian-automobile accidents there. Designa tion of crossings will be left to the descretion of the state high way commission and the city en gineer. . The mayor read his annual re port to the council expressing nis cratitude for the cooperation of various committees working with him. He stated that, the financial affairs of the city are probably better than most any other city in Oregon. According to the city treasurer, Ruth T. Berry's, report, our net bonded ' balance is only $240,000 with un til 1954 to pay this amount. Following his report, the may or left the meeting for another appointment and Councilman Harvey Martin took over as may-j or pro tem. Recommendations from the traffic safety council were read to the effect that all lamps on Eberlein from E. Main to Wash burn way,; and at the intersec tions of Mitchell and Shasta way and Washburn way and Shasta way be increased to 400 candle power. The safety council- also recommended that Pat's- cab ctand be moved from its present location, 8th and Pine, to a loca tion on S. 9th, in the center of the 100 block on the east side; of the street. All recommendations were given the green light by the council. Meeting Set A meeting of truckers, mer chants, safety, zoning, and police committees, and the city council will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. to discuss the traffic situa tion on Main. The councilmen okayed all li censes with the exception of the American Legion post No. 6 ap plication to open a club in the - former location of the Marine Officers' club, 219 Main; The application was turned over to the police committee for a report next Monday. The matter of whose responsibility the club would " be caused considerable discussion. . Howard Perrin, architect, ap peared before the council asking it to okay his plans for the con struction of a Firestone service station on Pine and 6th. His plans call for widening the street 10 feet on the Pine street side, and he asked the council's r opinion on the subject. Ten feet has been allowed along Pine from 6th to 9th, and setting the street back was previously con sidered, although no petition from property holders has been received. The council left it.up to the city engineer. Vandalism E. A. Thomas, city engineer, asked if the council had any sug gestions which might help elim inate vandalism with city prop erty. He explained that it is practically impossible to keep lights burning and street signs up because people smash the lights, move or steal the signs, and fill manholes with rocks. The councilmen were stumped for suggestions and Thomas was advised to keep on trying to find a solution. Forestry Men Attend Confab Forestry men from Grants fass, Medtora, Shevlin and Klamath Falls attended the meeting Friday in the Holland notel, Med lord. . The 36 men present heard H. I. Nettleton speak on the sustained yield policy of the O and C - administration. Karl Janouch also spoke on reorgan ization plans in Rogue River national rorest district. . Due to increased timber sales Janouch stated, it is planned to bring in more ranger personnel and open additional stations, An increase from 20 million board' feet to 103 million board feet was sold in the district during 1945, he stated. It is also planned to put a man in the Medford office to handle timber sales, but no one has been named for this posi tion yet. Numerous other changes in personnel are also contemplated. At present district rangers are stationed at Klamath Falls, Union Creek, Butte Falls and Applegate. Two more points, Ashland and Prospect, will now have rangers for each district making six points in all. Lake o' the Woods district has been changed to Klamath district of Rogue River national forest, and will henceforth be designated as such, it was offi cially announced at the meeting.
