Dlonwr property owner and business man of Klam ath Falls, told city councilman last night that It looks as If they ar "ganging up on nun wmi plalnu about hit properties. T-i l. . BntwarMl laxt tlMtllt In connection with an excavation Job on his property on Ewauna pouie vard near the river, which the council had ordered Investigated. A few weeks alto, Dunham was at a council aesalon to discuss complaint about a partially destroyed house he owns on Owens street, which uw council want condemned. There waa contusion In th coun cil as to whether Dunham's excava tion lob waa on Ewauna or Cedar, but it waa finally agreed that Ewauna is the street Involved. Councilman A. P. Condrey opened the discussion by stating that Dun ham's workmen had dug dirt from city property along the street right-of-way and he recommended that the owner be made to construct a concrete retaining wall along the excavated side of the street and re place the dirt, also build a fence alongside the street for the safety of persons using it. Dunham arose to comment, that an even worse condition had existed for some time at Main and 8econd, but the council had not had any thing done about it He also pointed out that the propertyJie waa work ing on had previously been a dump ing ground for all sorts of trash, but "no one ever complained about It before I bought it." He asserted that he had Intended to fence in the street from the start and also In tended to replace the earth, and added that If the council would wait until he had a chance to fix It up himself everything would be all right. Councilman Paul O. Landry inter jected to stale that he didnt be lieve that the street committee had ever been contacted on the matter for an opinion and that Condrey had made his recommendation with out the aanctlon of the committee. Condrey replied that he had given the recommendation as his own en tirely. Condrey added that he had noth ing against Dunham, saying. "I've known him since I was a kid." Mayor Ed Ostendorf commented, "He Isnt that old." Condrey announced, however, that he would "stick by my convictions. If one must obey the laws; all should." Councilman Landry, upon the sug gestion of the city attorney, finally moved that the council protest the removal of the earth from Ewauna street and ask Dunham for protec tion of the city property. The mo tion carried. Upon the suggestion of Dunham the council asked City Engineer E-A. Thomas to investigate the alleged condition at 2nd and Main. The council also Informed Dun ham that a condemnation hearing on his house at S19 Owens would be held at the regular council meet ing May 19. The building has been in disrepair for over a year and ac cording to Building Inspector Walter Sslsbery. is "a dirty, filthy mess." E. E. Benner arose at the city council meeting last night to Inquire concerning tne council s permission for the Disabled American Veterans to iiold a children a health and beauty contest at the KUHS audi. tarium. He explained that when he naa taken tne matter up with Po lice Judge Harold Franey, Praney had mentioned having to obtain a regular snow license. Benner point ed out that the DAV was a non profit organization and that the en tertainment would be entirely home talent. Benner Introduced Mrs. Alta Bar bara of Vancouver, Wash., who he said was helping with the show. She substantiated tils statements. Councilman Augus Newton stated that he believed all Teterans or ganizations should clear shows through the inter-veterans council and the chamber of commerce in order that everything be agreeable to them before the permit was granted. Mayor Ed Ostendorf had pointed out that the original date of the child show, June 7. would con flict with the annual Shrine dinner lor crippled children. Councilman A. F. Condrey dis agreed with Newton, however, stag ing that the lnter-veteran's council and the chamber of commerce had "no bearing on the matter at hand." He added that what the two or ganizations thought was none of the business of the council. The council granted the DAV the permit Two letters were received from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the first asked that the mayor proclaim Sat urday, May 24. as Poppy Day and asked the council's permission to iWJL oovnf -bo PS "flit? i'm O.
