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

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.

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
