Parking meter revenues had dropped by 50 per cent in the last lew months and overtime fines were practically nonexistent. The city council approved the hiring of J. M. Mnscy as an additional of ficer bringing the police force to five men for the first time since April, 1957. Police Chief Lee Clark says Ill's will allow for enforce ment of parking regulations and alleviate some of the work load on the officers. Saturday free parking will be retained and the merchants have been authorized to hood the meters on that day. In other business the council noted storm damage at $21,500 and authorized John Petty, superin tendent of public works, to work with Harold lieale. civil defense director, to seek federal aid to re pair washed out streets and sew ers. The U.S. Army engineers wil' he asked to survey river channel damage. Herbert Miles, district engineer for the division of highways, told the council Hint the state will black lop snow removal alleyways on the west side of Diinsmuir and recon struct Highway 99 through town (Florence Avenue I to the satisfac tion of the council before turning it over to the city upon completion ol the Ireeway bypass. Miles heard Reg Thorn and oth er property owners complain about the freeway access plan at the city's northern limit claiming near isolation of n two block com mercial area.

"The whole thing will probably be settled within the next 24 hours," said one cow county senator. "We should have some decision in the next 24 or 36 hours," was another opinion. This one came from Sen. Hugh M. Burns 1 Fresno 1, the Senate president pro tempore and kingpin who leads the way on many such issues. If it is not made known before, the decision on the fate of water in the 1958 session was expected to become known Thursday when the Senate Finance Committee meets. Actually, the only water issue officially before the Legislature is a six million dollar appropriation in Gov. Goodwin J. Knight s 1958 59 budget for continued studies on the Feather River Project. However, Knight himself has asked the Legislature to add an other 72 million dollars lo the budget for preliminary work on several units of the FRP. And behind the scenes, the wat er experts of the Legislature still are trying to reach some common ground on which to build a con stitutional amendment on water rights. Assemblyman Glenn E. Cool idge iR-Felton), chairman of the assembly Ways and Means Com miltee, took his committee into its first 1958 night session Tucs day night in an attempt lo finish work on the budget by Friday morning. He said he would not set Knight's 72 million dollar FRI: proposal for hearing because it would snarl the budget in com mittee. On the Senate side, James .1 McBride (D-Venturai, chairman of the Finance Committee, set the 72 million appropriation amend ment for hearing Thursday morn ing. He said "1 believe the com mittee will keep the FRP money nut of the budget like I hey did in the Assembly. However. Burns said he felt a faster solution to the water prob lorn could be gained by inserting the sum in the budget. He said he would back such a move in McBride's committee Thursday and also would back the addition of a two million dollar amendment for a study of the Eel River and possible aqueduct routes from there to Southern California. The start on the Eel was ex pected to remove northern doubts about continuing water project construction and salve San Joa quin Valley fears that all Uie water will be shipped right by them lo1 Southern California. McBride said if his committee doesn't have trouble with the FRP appropriation, he expected to have the budget on the floor of Ihe Senate by next Wednesday or Thursday. 'si' Square Dance Program Slated DUNSMUIR A beginner's square dance class will have its in itial session at 7:30 Thursday night at the old gymnasium of the Duns- nuur High School.

Saturday Sports Events In Grade Schools Studied By JOHN GUERNSEY the Saturday sports programs sponsored by the city elementary and junior high schools were sub ject to some criticism Tuesday evening during the school budget board sessions. At one point. Art Dye, budget member, said it should definitely be ascertained whether there is suf ficient participation in the Saturday programs to warrant the expense He said he has been told that in some cases the Saturday programs are little more than "glorified ba by-sitting programs" for the par ents and at the expense of the schools. The item came to the feible when the joint budget boards of the city scnoois considered a requested salary increase for the elementary coaches working with t h e after school and Saturday programs. The coaches requested a special time hourly wage increase from $2 to $2.50. The total request- would have cost the combined districts approximately $1,842 additional per year. Joe Mercer, board member, said he had talked with some" of the participating coaches, and that they felt the Saturday athletic pro grams for grade schoolers should be abandoned due to a lack of par ticipation. Mercer said it lust might be that the schools are over extending themselves to provide non school hour recreation lor the students, and that the parents should per haps take more responsibility when providing entertainment nnd recre ation for the children when they arc away from school. School Superintendent Arnold Gralapp suggested that all the el ementary coaches and athletic per sonnel be on hand at any discus sion about whether to continue the programs. A definite date for such discussion was not set. The board voted not to increase the hourly rales for instructors tak ing part in the Saturday programs. Similarly, the music teachers request for an outside activity hourly wage increase was turned down by the boards. The teachers had requested that the hourly rates for outside activity be increased from $2 to $3, at an approximate $ti6 cost to the school districts. The outside time cited by the music teachers encompasses such activity as accompanying the mu sical groups during evening pro grams, working with the band and other musical units when they travel out of town, and special in struction for some of the groups. With reference to the outside ran c activity, some of the board members reiterated their stand that perhaps the schools are obligating themselves to account for too much of the students' time during the outside school hours. The school districts paid $1,332 for 666 hours of music department outside activity time during the 1956-57 school year. In turning down the raise request, the boards approved Wyatt Padgett's motion that the overtime rate remain the same, and that the number of extra activity hours be confined to" 500 during the forthcoming school year. In other action the boards: 1. Approved a 20 cent per hour wage increase for janitors and bus drivers. The raise will cost the school districts approximately $1, 267 during the coming year. The new increase, based on a 44-hour week, will raise the monthly sal ary for combination janitors - bus drivers from $353 to $388, and will increase the hourly rate for out of town driving trips from approxi mately $1.92 to $2. 2. Increased the hourly rate for clerical help by approximately 5.5 per cent. The Increase will cost the combined school districts ap proximately $2,668. Excluding the 5.5 per cent increase, the current rates for elementary clerical work ers range between $1 to $1.47 per hour, the high school and special clerical costs are between $1.07 and $1.63 per hour, and the payroll and advanced stenographic rates range between $1.09 and $1.96 per hour depending on experience. 3. Raised .the hourly rates for school cooks and assistant cooks by 10 cents per hour. The new rates will be $1.60 per hour for cooks and $1.35 per hour for helpers. The combined costs to the school districts will be approximately $2,880. 4. Raised the annual salary for school maintenance superintendent, John Glubrecht, from $6,040 to $6,- 500, and specified that the salary 1 be open for further considera tion during the next budget hear ing. 5. Increased the annual salary for the cafeteria superintendent. Mrs. llattie Barnstable, from $4,716 to $4,975. 6. Approved the raising of Clerk Harold Ashley's annual salary from $7,500 to $8,000 if the school boards elect to effect the increase after July 1. 7. Tentatively approved the in clusion of $14,000 In the school budg ets for the purchase of one new school bus. ' The Joint school and budget boards have scheduled further meetings this week in an attempt to wrap up the midget studies by March 17.

Brookins, ranger for that district. A gradual shift in the timber cut ting program from the Paisley district northerly to the Silver Lake ranger district will result in a considerable increase in the planned cut on the latter district for the next few years. For the past five years the cut has av eraged less than five million board feet per year. Present plans call for this volume to be increased to an average of 18 miUlpn board feet of ponderosa pine annually for the following five years. Added to -this will be 13 million board feet of lodgepole pine that will be removed by the Johns-Manville pulp operation each year. The to tal cut on the district will amount to about 31 million board feet. The increased volume will be removed from the large block of virgin timber lying south of Silver Lake between Hager and Yamsey mountains. This area comm-ises roughly 80,000 acres. It is antici pated that the sales will be made in a variety of sizes suitable for sup plying the existing industrial plants. In addition to selling the above amounts of green timber. plans call for an aggressive sal vage program designed for the re moval and use of all possible dead and dying timber. Ranger Brookins anticipates that the district timber sales force will be increased by both foresters and engineers to handle the additional work load that will result, This work, in addition to sales prepara- non ana administration, will con sist of surveying and designing several miles of high standard ac cess roads which will be required lor operator construction. Many more miles of existing roads will be Improved. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC UNION PACIFIC'S route to Chicago' from Portland or Seattle follow$ the Scenic Oregon Trail the most direct route.
