Waltsr Brendan Mrs. Thaler New Tule Police Judge TDI.EI.AKK. Mar 19 City roun cll business Monday night ranrrd from the appointment of a nrw police Judge to assuring city resl dents that there will be ample water for Imitation this summer. Mrs. Victoria Thaler, eity clerk. ; succeeds George Long as police I Judge. The change was made to 1 speed up processes of law since Long, an Insurance man. haa been able to derote only part time to the business of "Judging." Mrs. Thaler will be available all day at the city hall. City street Improvement came up for further consideration, with ex Mayor A. A. Rodenberger recom mending a possible solution to re surfacing Main street at a cost within the city budget. Rodenberger, who supervised the original street surfacing, reported that from past experience he be lieved the length of Main street from the railroad tracks to the east west road, a distance of approxf- i mat ?ly half a mile, can be surfaced I ! for S10.000 if the city buys the gravel ! and oil. and county road equipment can be used. Early Sale Seen Word has been received from Sec retary of State Jordan of Cali fornia that state approval of the proposed annexation of a second new addition to the city will pave tiie way for early sale of the 96 lots south of the last addition. Confirmation from Washington to the bureau of reclamation Is the last barrier to be hurdled. The city is askinr that the lots be disposed of for cash In order to 1 make available funds for Immediate 1 street work and other improvements in the new area. Otherwise, if sales ! are made on a basis of one-fourth I down and the remainder over a period of three years, new property owners must wait for improvement work. The new zoning ordinance re stricting building will be extended to the new addition. Manager William Shepherd of the Tulelake office of The California Oregon Power company suggested to the council that his company be contacted relative to paying power cables for street lights before any street improvement work is started. Irrigation water rates go into effect May 20. and Mayor W. R. Moore states that with use of the new city well, ample water will be available for taking care of irriga tion needs in the city. Siskiyou county officials will be contacted on any plans that may be contemplated for establishment of a hospital here. The meeting adjourned after Rev. Hugh Bronson, pastor of the Tule lake Community Presbyterian church made application for a building permit for the proposed 143,000 1 building.

An enlarged recreation program or one cut to the barest minimum is the cnoice to ace voters Friday when they vote on the city's 1 4 mill continuing levy lor recreation, ac cording to Recreation Director Sam Smith. The city budget committee has two alternate plans to consider in budgeting lor tne 1948-49 fiscal year. depending on whether or not the levy goes over. Based on the $6405.78 now avail able for the recreation department trom its present 4 mill, the city will be able to support the followmg recreation program this summer: Ewauna park ithe playground plan ned lor the old high school site at 5th and Highi, a woodworking class at Klamath Union high school, and a summer swimming project at the high school pool. Expansion Flan With the S25.635 made possible by the new levy, she city can operate: Playgrounds at Falrview, KUHS. Mills. Pelican and Roosevelt schools. Ewauna park, playground leader ship at Moore park, special arts and crafts instruction, baseball, rhythmic activities tor small chil dren and an enlarged swimming pro gram at KUHS and at Oregon Vo cational school. "The levy simply means the dif ference between one playground m town or seven, and no new develop ment or S8G60 tor new oevelopment," Smith explained. He said the cost of the new levy, based on 18.000 peo ple, is about 2'i cents per person per week. All money for salaries and office supplies as well as lo playgrounds ana recreation must come irom the recreation fund with no help from any other city money because of the H-mill levy voted lor recreation in iuju. -II tne levy doesn't pass, we'll be much worse off this year than last year.- smith said, explaining that because of activities discontinued auring wartime, there was a sur plus of S40O0 In the recreation budget.
