TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28; 1950 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON GityC ouncil Hears Sewer ending An ordinance placins the $800,000 dents to attend the council meet- Bond Ordinance R Tule Grange Holds Party TPLELAKE Tulelake Granee No. 468 entertained at a card party on February 23 In the grange hall. Negro Leaders Promise Continuance Of Bus Boycott sewerage system improvement bond Issue on the May 18 primary ballot was Introduced and read (or the first and second times at the regular meeting ot the Klamath Palls City Council Monday night. Before the bond Issue cm be placed on the primary ballot it must be read three times before the council. The ordinance was read twice Monday night and will be read the third and final time at next Monday's council meeting It can then be placed on the pri mary ballot for action by the city's voters.1 The bond Issue was askrd last week by the council to finance needed Improvements in the city's sewerage system and the building of a new sewerage treatment plant on (lie east side of Klamath River along (he Southern Bacific railroad tracks near where Hilyard Avenue would cross the tracks if extended. The council voted to ask .the city's voters for approval of the bond issue after study of several reports on (he need for improve ment in the system compiled by John W. Cunningham and Asso ciates, Portland consulting engi neering firm. The bond issue would be repaid over a 20 year, period. Unofficial figures indicate that a tax levy of approximately 4.46 mils would be needed the first year to finance (he issue. This figure would de crease slightly each year as part of the principal was repaid, it was reported. This tax levy would amount to about $8.03 taxes on., a $10,000 property the first year. If the voters of the city approve die bond issue on Msy 18, the council will then advertise for bids on the bonds. As the ordinance treads, the city would be allowed to redeem as much of the princi pal as It wished after three years. This would mean the city could repay the bond issue before the 20 year period was up thus reduc ing the interest to be repaid. ' In further business the council heard the reading of a corrected ordinance asking a two mil levy for one year for the purchase of Gems Stadium from the stockhold ers of Klamath Baseball Inc. The corrected ordinance was necessary when it was discovered that; dun to a new state law ell tax levies must carry a definite amount in dollars and cents. It is expected the levy would raise $28,041 in one year. The owners of the stadium have agreed to take this amount lor the stadium considered to be worth in the neighborhood of $75-$80,000. Terrv Hannon, Klamath Union High School student body presi dent, asked permission of the coun cil for students of the school's civ ics and government classes to at tend the council meetings. Hannon said the students hoped to conduct student government day this spring with the students taking over the various city government posts. The council invited the slu ing? and indicated that a student ! were ln play government day would be studied Dy tne mayor and council. ' The council also heard a. letter read from the Disabled American Veterans in which they withdrew thir support of the Allied Rehab project at 101 South Sixth Street. This ruling was issued by the na tional headquarters of the DAV. The project will continue to oper ate as a private venture it was in dicated. The council approved the using of the council chambers from March 8 to 29 inclusive ior the an nual police school. The school will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays between those two dates. night that "no city in the world Nine tables of bridge and pinochle afford to make criminals out oi n oi us pieacners.
