A meeting of the mayor and council will be held soon to take action. Speaking of the recent pri mary election. Councilman Rol lin Cantrall stated that he be lieved it was the duty of the . council to see that the retire . ment levy is again brought be fore the people to be voted on. ' The city dads and the mayor ' were of the opinion that they could have done more to ac ' quaint voters with the measure. ' The city attorney was asked to take the necessary steps to place the retirement levy on the No vember ballot as a special city election measure. City Engineer E. A. Thomas pointed out that there are sev eral areas in town which can- : not be paved until they are built up, and in which people won't build until streets are paved. . The cost of the improvement of . these areas would amount to more than the assessed value. Mayor Ed Ostendorf stated that . he has talked to county officials who favor reassessment of the entire county to bring the yaaant high levy and low assessment on an equitable basis.

Owners Offer to Pay A petition presented from six property owners on Pine be tween 6th and 8th who are willing to pay cash for street improvements prompted Cantrall to remark, "I wish we had more petitions like this one." On the heels of a recent sug gestion from the planning coin mission to the traffic safety coun cil that "something be done" to eliminate several loading zones, came a request from C. C. Overeem that a loading zone be established in front of his plumbing shop at 1401 Espla nade. This request was referred to the traffic safety council. Police Chief Orville Hamilton sought the council's okay on or dering a new type generator, an alternator-generator," which is recommended for police cars. Hamilton explained that the present generators burn out every month or two because of the heavy load on them. The council balked at the idea of l paying $150 per car for the new generators, dui reierrea me re quest to the police committee with the power to act A report will be made as soon as a de cision is reached. A petition from 27 property owners on Mountain View and Eldorado Heights for sewage and sanitary facilities was referred to the city engineer for study and report. A letter of resignation was read from Gus Johnson, city building inspector. The council accepted the resignation which will be effective immediately, in accordance with Johnson's re quest, expressing their thanks to him for his work. Motor Scooter Question Leon Brogdon asked the coun cil if it was necessary for him to have a license to operate a motor scooter instruction and rental shop, and was told that there is no city ordinance re quiring that type of license. His question was referred to the chief of police. The city engineer reported that the city is advertising for bids on a used grader. At the present time, the city is renting one, and wants a new grader but it will be over a year before one will be available. The council was in disagree ment on a request from the Ore gon Avenue garage for Dermis- sion to install a gas pump on the parking strip in front of the building. Councilman Harvey Martin said he could see no ob jection to their request, but other members of the council believed that the duitid could be nlarwi inside the saraeo to avoid imnt. ing a concession which might , prompt others to make similar requests. Further investigation ! will be made before a decision I is reached.
