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.

Those attending from this

Carl O. Permin, chancellor commander.
Employment in January, 1046,
in Klamath basin was at its
Jowest ebb since 1940, according
to tne u. b. employment bureuu.
Heavy snows and sub-zero
weather In tho area resulted in
a general ccssution of activity,
SI wss UlipuSSlUlU (O llilUl 10KS
over logging roads and high
ways, resulting in an additional
number of mill shutdowns. Only
the larger mills with railroad
facilities were able to operate,
employment officials stated.
Railroads rooortcd shortuKcs
in help on section work and in
various hard-to-fill Jobs. Con
struction was hampered In Jan
uary due to weather conditions
and lack of materials.
Returning veterans and dis
placed war workers swelled the
total of unemployed, and claims
for unemployment compensation
increased. By January 31 it was
estimated there were 2892 un
employed in Klamath basin and
of these 827 were women.
Until weather conditions im
prove no noticeable change in
the. labor market is expected,
however some improvement Is
expected in March and full scale
operations should be in progress
by April, It was estimated. '
