Hot Springs Residents Criticize Councilmen In Matter Of Street Closures An unidentified resident' of Hot Springs district expressed the feelings of group of prop erty owners along the -right 01 way of the new north entrance highway along Alameda when he told Council President Paul O. Landry, "You can't do; that to us!" -'& ' The group attended the meet ing of the council, held Thurs day nignt due 10 me iacx or a quorum on the regular Monday evening meeting, to protest the closure of Earle and Melrose streets by the city on order of the Oregon state highway de partment. , Landry explained that this city council has nothing to do with the plan, that the contract was signed, by the city, county and the highway .department in May of 1844, inv which the city and the county, sold certain lots to the department and the city agreed to close certain streets. He stressed that the streets would not be closed to traffic, but would only be closed at one end, and that end would be supplied with a turning circle for the use of motorists. The principle gripe of the property owners appeared to be objections to no ready access to the highway. It was stated that during the winter snow prevents persons living on the lower end of Melrose and Earle from going uphill, and if the lower end is closed, they "would be stuck there." Representative residents demanded to know what the plans of the state highway de partment were and City Engi neer E. A. Thomas advised that latest word from the depart ment had asked that - all the streets crossing Alameda be closed except Portland. The unidentified man again arose to ask Landry when the department expected to con struct the overhead on Portland, and when Landry answered that he didn't know, the man replied, "It's your business to know!" "That's what we elected you for. I didn't vote for you, though. And don't think I ever will!" The council finally decided to ask the highway department to investigate some way in which A HE YOU TAIL?

Earle and Melrose streets could be kept open. C. A. Hayden, manager for the federal housing project in the Klamath Falls area, appeared before the council to point out that the government makes pay ments in lieu 01 taxes and de serves the same consideration on their projects inside the city limits as any other taxpayer. He asked that the. city provide fiolice protection and street and ighting service to the two pro jects. He also pointed out that if the government is forced to pay for the services itself, they must deduct the maintenance cost from the tax payments made to the city. The council recom mended that the city engineer fix the streets, that the police problem be referred to the police committee, and the lights to the public utilities committee. . Chief Vernon Chitwood of the navy recruiting office asked the council for permission to scatter 10,000 leaflets urging recruiting in the U. S. Naval reserve over the town from an airplane. No statute being found which pro hibited such distribution for such a manner, the council granted the request. . W. E. Palmer also appeared before the council to protest the moving by the 20-30 club of a house to be used by the Air Scouts on to property adjoining his own. Palmer said that he also represented three other property owners in the immedi ate vicinity. The council recom. mended that the 20-30 club be notified that the objections had been raised and that the council could not give its approval to the plan. Two communications were re ceived from the insurance com mittee recommending first that the council make a study of the Insurance needs of all the build ings at the airport in preparation for the taking over of the build ings, and second that the budget committee be asked to allot suf ficient funds so that the city could consider placing all its existing and future liability policies under one comprehen sive policy. A recommendation from the planning commission was ac cepted that all parking strips in the business and industrial dis tricts of town be eliminated, either paving them over or mak ing them part of the street. Councilman Condre made a mo tion that the fire chief and the fire committee meet with Archi tect Howard Perrln for the study of a suitable building plan for a fire station to be erected on the corner of Division and Radcliffe. The council accepted his motion. He also moved that the fire chief be given permission to sell or dispose of the aged Stutt fire truck which is now repos ing at the fire station. The council accepted this motion also. A letter was received from K. K. Cramer of the federal com munications commission asking for the use of the council cham ber May 10 for giving radio ex aminations. The council grant ed his request. Two bids were received and opened for the purchase of a new pickup truck for the use of the street department. They were referred to the city engi neer and the finance department with the power to act. A bid for an Adams grader from the Howard-Cooper cor poration was accepted and a scarifier was ordered at the same time. City Delivery Service. Ph. S417. PILES Hurt Like Sin!

The Public Interest Comes First Telephone Company Offers Arbitration of Wages In recognition that the public interest comes first and to eliminate any reason for a telephone work stoppage which would be a disaster for the public, the company has offered to submit to arbitration the ques- "Dear Mr. "During the past month the company has met with you and with other union representatives to bargain on union de mands for increased wage rates and for various other changes in working condi tions. "On wages, which is the fundamental issue in dispute, the company's position is that the wages it 'is now paying compare favorably with wages ; now , being paid generally in the area in which we operate for work requiring comparable skill and training. ' "Since the company and the unions have a difference of opinion on this matter, the company is willing to submit the issue on wages to a board of arbitrators to be selected from a panel named by the U. S. Department of Labor. In fairness to all -Telephone employees, as is well known, have been fairly paid and well treated. Wage schedules have been increased several times in the last few years in addition to regular progressive increases. The employees have good working conditions, steady work, holi days and vacations with pay, sickness bene fit and pensions. The company believes that the present contracts are liberal and is willing to renew them. The unions' demands, if granted, would cost the company, and ultimately the users of the service, about $100,000,000 annually. This is equivalent to $45 per year per telephone subscriber. 40 per cent increase in all telephone rates,, tion of wages which is the fundamental is sue in dispute. . A letter along the lines of the following Is being sent to each union involved. our employees, the offer to arbitrate the . wage issue is being made to all unions with ' whom we have been in negotiation. "This letter is a formal offer by the com pany to submit to arbitration by such a board the question whether or not basic wage rates now pnid by the company .should be increased, the amount of in crease, if any, in starting and top rates, the length of progression schedules, the intermediate steps in such schedules, and locality differentials. The decision of the board of arbitrators shall be final and bind ing on the parties. "This offer to arbitrate is made In rec ognition that the public interest must come first and npon the condition that strike notices filed by the unions you represent are withdrawn. ,'. "We would appreciate an early reply." By any reasonable comparison, telephone employees are doing all right. That's the way we want it But the public has a stake in the issue. The company's earnings are already too low and any major additional wage costs must be reflected in increased rates. The company wants to be fair fair to the employees, fair to the public, who buy the service and fair to those who invest in ' the business. We believe that the present contracts, which we are willing to renew are fair, but since there is a difference of opinion between the company and the unions and believing it to be in the public interest, we have made this offer to arbi trate. 1 The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Altamont Camp V 3840 So. 6th Grocery SB
