Congressmen
Hear Cattle
Graze Kicks
ALTURAS Cattle ranchers had
their aay this morning before two
Western congressmen conducting a
hearing here over proposed cuts in
grazing permits on the northern end
of the Modoc national forest.
The forest service is contemplat
ing cutting down the number of
cattle permitted to graze on the
northern park of the forest any
where from 30 to 81 per cent, and
the cattlemen are embattled against
the reduction.
Congressmen Clair Engle of Cali
fornia and Walter 8. Barring of
Nevada are conducting the hear
ings. D orris, Spokesman
Bayley Dorr Is, Modoc rancher who
Is chairman of an advisory board
of the some 25 permittees ranging
on the area In question, spoke for
the cattlemen this morning. He
contended the range was not over
grazed, as the forest service claims,
and that It is capable of supporting
as many cattle as are now per
mitted to graze on the government
land and possibly more. .
He claimed any reduction in gru-

lng permits would tend to lessen
the value ot deeded land owned by
the ranchers ot the area, forcing
them to raise fewer cattle.
Another Idea
Another forest service proposal Is
to put into effect a later date for
cattle to be turned onto the Modoc
range, and Don-is was outspoken
against the issue. The turn-out date
now is around June 1 and Derris
said the cattle should be turned
onto the range May IS or earlier to
give ranchers more time to put in
hay crops on their own lands.
Other cattlemen appealing against
the forest service proposals this
morning were Luke Miller. Harold
Parman and Merrill Ward. The
forest service men were to have
their inning this afternoon.

Merrill's
Council
Has Session
MERRILL Merrill city council
met in regular session November
3. with the following business trans
acted. Marks cafe will serve the
prisoners meals and a definite limit
has been set on the price of each
meal served. Some discussion was
held on the use of the old city
hall building with the likelihood that
It will be used for police court and
possibly living quarters for the city
police officer.
An authorization was issued for
the purchase of new tires for the
police car. Mrs. M. A. Bowman and
Mrs. William Walker, representing
the Library club were present and
proposed that the city undertake a
share of the cost of cleaning the
library room which is also used for
the city office. This matter was
taken under advisement.
Building permits were Issued as
follows: Jim Cauehron, $1000, ad
dition to dwelling; Iso Patterson
S1000 addition to dwelling; and Carl

Council OK's
Two Paving
Bond Issues
Three ordinances brought up for
final reading at the council meeting
last night were approved, and one
filed to gain the necessary number
of approving votes.
Included among the approved were
two for floating bond issues by the
city to pay costs of Improvement
Units 100 and 101.
The bonds Issued to cover unit
101. paving of South 12th from Main
to Klamath will total $8127.80 and
will be issued on January 15, 1950 to
be recalled in ten years. Face value
of the individual bonds Is $500.
A similar bond issue covering the
$23.124 68 costs of unit 101. paving
of California from 3rd to 7th was
also approved.
Thumbs Down
Disapproval was showered down by
three of five council members on an
ordinance covering sale of airport
property to F. L. Somers, local con
struction contractor.
Somers had requested lease ot a
section of the large hangar at the
airport for a two-year period, with
a three-year renewal option.
The .third ordinance to gain ap
proval of the council was one pro
hibiting opening car doors without
caution while a vehicle is parked on
a public thoroughfare or alley In
the city limits.
Penalties for violation of this law
may be Imposed up to, and Includ
ing $100 In fines, or 50 days In Jail.
Tabled
Another ordinance that was
brought up for and second reading
was tabled for further study by
members of the council.
The law, which would instigate
setting up a city planning commis
sion, was objected to in part by
Councilman Condrey. Condrey said
he did not approve of the portion
which would permit appointment by
any mayor of the planning com
mission's seven members.
According to City Attorney Henry
Perkins there was nothing the coun
cil could do about the appointment
setup, since state law requires that
the appointments be made by mayors
of municipalities in Oregon.
