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.

"The levy simply means the dif
