TUESDAY, JULY 22, 152 Telephone III! No. 2878 South Council Gels More Street Repair Bids The Bobco Paving Company ol Klamath Falls, recently set up In business, wss low bidder on city street repslr work In bids opened by the City Council last night. It ass the second time bkls for the work had been called. That firm' bid wa (48.670. The only other bid was that of the Asphalt Paving Company, also of Kiuinslh Fslls, 847,480. The bids were referred to the Street Com mittee. About a month ago when bids were celled on the work. Asphalt Paving Company was low st 881, 100, but thst cost figure was re- incled by the City Council as too ilgh. The work repairing city streets, although extensive this yesr, can be accomplished In a few weeks. City Engineer E. A. (Taxil Thomas presented to the Council two estimates of the coat of re pairing roads In Moors Park, as requested last week. ASPHALT RESL'RFACINO One plan, at 81.171.05. would in clude asphalt penetration resurfac ing of some 4,000 feet of the two entrance roadwaya to the park plus spot patching on the olher paved roadwaya. The second plan, coating sn estl maled 88.884. 84, would email plsnt mix resurfacing of the main road ways. The Park Board last week asked the City Council to do something about fixing up the Moore Park pavement, and Alfred Collier. Park Board member, pointed out Uu the city 1 lo get about 821.000 more than usual this year from Klamath ' County to spend on lreet ainrlr. .. ' ' Collier sl.no tg member of the County Budget commutes wnicn budgeted the money, some 181,000, tor the city. The money comes primarily from the proceeds of sle ol O C limber. QUESTION However, some question arose as (o whether the city could spend that particular extra money, since It is not figured in the city budget. City Attorney Henry Perkins said last night there seemed to be no reason why la shouldn't be spent. The whole problem was referred to Thomas, Perkins snd the Street Committee for more study. Other business transacted by the City Council last night Included: Approval of 818,400 worth ol building permit. Receipts of a request from the Planning Commission that- the Ore gon Highway Commission be re minded that the 8. 6lh viaduct Is the No. 1 priority trafflo problem here In Uie Klamath Falls vicin ity. The project replacing the viaduct had been placed In lower priority In a recent survey of Klamath Falls highway needs made by the Highway Department. Approval of request by the American Legion that 7th between Main and Pine be closed for American Legion convention square dances next Saturday, Mon day and Tuesday. Freight Car Prospects Up The availability of freight cars for shipping out this coming har vest looks pretty good at least, from this distance report the Southern Pacific snd Great North ern. But ths picture can change rapidly, depending on the demand for railroad cars In othor areas at harvest time. In some past years freight cars have been very ahort in the Klam-ath-Tuleleke area when, crops are ready to move. One -factor which might compli cate matters about that time Is the current steel strike. If the Work stoppage Is over soon and pro duction looms ss . expected, a tremendous demand for railroad cars In manufacturing areas of the East may work to the disadvan tage of shippers on the West Coast. However, this srea apparently Is going to be better off than in past years for storage space, particular ly for spuds. A number of new spud cellars, some of them big ones, are being built In the south end to relieve storage pressure. The only large grain 1 storage facility going up this year Is the 23,000-bushel elevator being erected at the Paclflo supply cooperative building, adding to that firm's pres ent capacity, . About 83.000 acres of bnrlcv Is being grown In the Klamath Basin this year,; plus some 14,000 seres of wheat, ' 10,000 acres of rye snd 17,000 sores of oats, according to estimate of the County Agent's of- floe.

The great North-South battle. pivoting about disputed "civil rights" proposals, roared to new heights of bitterness. But simultaneously there came word that the man around whom this convention might unite Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois had ssid he would accept the presiden tial nomination u it Is offered. Up to now, Stevenson's personal noes to talk of his candidacy have had little- effect on the draft move ment running his way. DEVELOPING In the light of the develonina situation, Rep. Gene Cox of Geor gia told reporters It was possible that the name of Sen. Richard B. Russell would not be put before tne convention. Cox contended the "loyalty rule' action was. In effect, tossing the November election to the Republi can ticket of Gen. Dwight D.
