Action on the proposed pur
chase of th Will Humphrey
property In the 1900 block on
Main, to be used as a site for a
municipal swimming pool and
recreation center was referred
at last night's city council meet
ing to the mayor and council as
a committee with power to act
and to report in the near future.
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. The coun-

ell referred the matter to the
bonding committee for study.
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.

Allies Reject
Nazi Arm Probe
BERLIN, May 28 (,P) An
American press relations officer
announced today that the allied
control authority's coordinating
committee had failed to agree on
a U. S. proposal for a four-power
investigation of German disarm
ament and had taken the ques
tion off its agenda.
This means, he said, that there
will be no commission as pro
posed to investigate the progress
of German disarmament in each
of the four zones.
It was not immediately known
which power had blocked the
inquiry, which was recommend
ed by the American member of
the coordinating committee. Lt
Gen. Lucius Clay, upon instruc
tions from Secretary of State
Byrnes.
The press relations officer
said Clay had proposed an inves
tigation into all fields of disarm
ament, including economic, and
the implication was that the lat
ter was the point of the stale
mate. He said the committee would
formulate a communique after
its next meeting and then dis
close the stand taken by each
power.
