Council Talks
Property Moves
A request from the airport com
mission for a l's mill continuing
levy for airport construction and
maintenance was hurriedly skipped
over Monday night with little en
couragement from the city dads that
It will appear on the May election
ballot.
Councilmen referred the matter
to the finance committee, but sug
gested that little hope is held lor
the measure. No explanation was
given, but it was hinted that since
the city already plans to put a 1 j
null park levy and mill recrra-
tion levy on the ballot, it would be '
wiser to hold off a request for addi- i
Uonal airport funds.
City property took most of the
council's attention for the rest of
the meeting. A planning commission
recommendation was presented to
change the area between the route
of the proposed north entrance
highway and the school district
property in the Gooding tract from
a class 2 residential district to a
class I area.
E. M. Igl, chairman of the plan-
Skunk Cause
Of Trouble
Mrs. Aubrey Fleming. Merrill
road, was in a downtown store Fri
day morning shopping. She no
ticed the clerks eyeing her strange
ly and sort of edging away.
Fleming suggested they may have
thought she was a trapper.
Thursday night he drove the car
up to the house to take his wife, son
Dale and daughter. Dot Am, and
a neighbor girl. Carolyn Dickson to
a Christian Endeavor party. They
came out all dressed to go when he
heard something clanking around
the radiator fan. Almost immedi
ately he knew it was a skunk.
They drove to the party, about a
mile away, and then opened the
hood and found the little black and
white animal. Apparently it had
climbed up Into the engine from
below and when the motor started.
It started walking around and got
caught in the fan belt
-How do you get rid of skunk
smell in a car. anyway?" Fleming is
asking.

Palestine Due
i LAKE SUCCESS. Jan. 27 0W In
formed quarters said Monday Britain

j Nations early this week her plans
j for giving up rule in Palestine.
! The information will come in the
1 form of answers to a list of specific
i questions submitted by the fire-
nation Palestine partition conunis
I don.
j Persons close to the commission
.said the British replies assuming
j they are complete would immedi
! ately plunge the UN body Into the
I decision stage of its work. One of
the results would be drafting of a
' UN timetable, covering such points
1 as the commission's own entry Into
; Palestine.
j So far. the commission has been
J feeling Its way along in preliminary
discussions without knowing the ex
act British plans for surrendering
the old League of Nations mandate.
I Publicly, the British said only that
they would give up their rule May
15 or earlier. They cautioned the
UN commission to stay out of the
Holy Land until two weeks before

Damage Suit
Bogs Down
A motion for dismissal on grounds
of lack of evidence this morning at
least temporarily halted a 110.000
damage suit going on in circuit
court, and a decision on the move
is due this afternoon from Circuit
Judge David R. Vandenberg.
The suit was brought by Kenneth
I Duncan, Santa Rosa, Calif., against
' Elmer A. Smith, growing out of an
accident on the Lakeview highway,
November 7, 1944, in which Duncan
was Injured.
When the plaintiff rested his case
Uiis morning, Defense Attorney
; Richard Maxwell of Farrens and
; Maxwell moved for dismissal. Judge
I Vandenberg dismissed the Jury un
! til 2 o'clock.
Duncan is represented by U. S.
Balentine and J. C. O'Neill. He
charges Smith left his car parked
on the highway pavement at night,
without lights, and was responsible
for the accident. Duncan said his
car smashed into the parked ve
hicle. It is not often that women serve
on juries in Klamath county, but
the current panel contains several
women and two Maxine Cameron

nnig commission, was present to ex
plain the move to the council. He
said that the commission feels that
by changing the district, the city
will avoid having "shacks thrown
up" on the new highway. The prop
erly is located In the vicinity of the
I Old Fort road and the Ooodlng
i tract, future site of the school dis
trict's proposed junior high school.
Ordinance OK d
The city attorney was authorized
to draw an ordinance of the change.
Along the same line, the planning
commission asked that a strip two
lots wide on the west side of the
highway site be raised from class 1
residential to class 1-A. A question
as to whether the properly is city
i or privately owned was turned over
to City Attorney Henry Perkins for
a report next Monday,
j Igl told the city fathers that Sec
' ond and Lakeview additions are
i probably the most desirable home;
: sites left in town, but replatting is i
' necessary before people will build t
; homes there. The district should ;
; hare streets completely rearranged, j
j Igl said. The area has been with- I
held from sale, pending replatting,
! for some time. The matter was rr- ;
: f erred to the planning commission, i
i finance committee and Councilman .
I A. F. Condrey. ,
Councilmen voted to put the j
southwest comer of Second addition i
up for sale in two-lot units. The lots j
are only 25-foot, and in order to re- !
lease them for sale, they will be sold :
in 50-Ioot sectors only.
Condrey pointed out that city lota
being withheld from sale at the re
quest of the state highway commis
sion and others for replatting
amount to an appraised valuation
of $o&,75v, and demanded that some
thing be done to release the prop
erty so the city can get some money
from its sale.
Flare-Vp
Only one flare-up was evident in
the usual heated council session
when Police Judge Howard Strode
asked that councilmen and other
city officials leave one of the secre
taries free to work on the council !
minutes on Tuesdays, and not give
her other work to do until the min
utes are completed.
Councilman A. F. Condrey snap
ped back, "Councilmen are mana
gers of the city until the people say
otherwise." He went on to say that
administration of the business office
was S trade's Job, and that he should
take care of It. Strode protested
that all he wants is cooperation 1

was dropped. Uranium Deposits
