Circuit Jury Action Due
In Klamath Morals Case
The trial of Frank G. Sutton, a
millworkcr accused of making im
proper advances toward his own
year-old daughter, was expected
to reach a circuit court jury this
afternoon.
BOTH STATE and defense at-j

examined Sutton during the noon
recess Monday.
Dr. Haugen incorporated into his
report findings made by Dr. Hen

creasing amount of tension in the
last few years, and had manifested
this tension in insomnia, lack of,
ability to relax, and fainting spells.
Sutton himself was on the stand
Monday afternoon, the first de
fense witness offered by Attorney
Glenn D. Ramirez.
The state's key witness, present
ed by Deputy District Attorney
O. W. Goakey, was the defendant's
daughter, now 8 years old. She
described conditions relating to her
father's alleged attentions last July
15.
SUTTON'S WIFE, Mary Jane,
was offered as a state witness but
once on the stand declined to tes
tify against her husband. It was
she who had brought charges
against him.
Mrs. Sutton operates Evans Gro
eery on Summers Lane. Sutton is
an employe of a lumber mill.
Other state witnesses were for
mer Deputy District Attorney Phil
ip Engelgau. now of Portland;
Mrs. June Trimmel, temporary
employe of the district attorney's
office; Deputy Sheriff Dale Mat
toon, and Sutton himself, who was
called to the stand in absence of
the jury to establish conditions re

Street Paving Protested
By Vashburn Residents
City council chambers wer
filled with residents of the Wash
burn Way vicinity Monday night
as they came to protest a peti
tion requesting that portions of the
street be paved.
The petition as presented to the
council asked that the street be
paved from the center line of Eb
erlein Street to the northerly line
of Darrow Street.
PRIOR TO HEARING from per
sons in the audience, Mayor Lawr
ence Slater had G. S. Vergeer,
city manager, explain how the
method of assessment is worked
out on improvement projects. Ver
geer explained that the amount
of assessment decreases in cost
in accordance with distance away
from the improvement, and that
it has been customary for the
council to assess a distance of one
half block on all paving projects
He pointed out that because of
the unusual situation where two
blocks are actually combined on
the streets leading off Washburn
Way, the council decided to as
sess lor a distance of 200 feet
back on these streets from Wash
burn Way.

Assistant City Engineer Cliff
Sanders explained in detail the
method used to determine assess
ments, using a blackboard to out
line the area. He estimated the
total cost of the project as about
$30,000.
He further explained that the
200 foot area to be assessed is
broken up into five 40 foot seg
ments and that these are assessed
at the rate of 45 per cent for
the first 40 feet, 25 per cent for
the second, 15 per cent for the
third, 10 per cent for the fourth
and five per cent for the balance.
BREAKING THESE costs down
according to 50 foot lots, Sanders
listed them approximately as $975
for the first 50 feet, $490 for the
second, $280 for the third 50 foot
lot, and $130 for the fourth.
Those lots bordering Washburn
Way would pay $775 for each 60
foot lot on the east side of Wash
burn Way, except $800 for the last
lot on the north end of the proj
ect, and $980 for planned 75 fool
lots on the south end of the proj
ect.
The council chamber was filled
with 27 property owners involved
Al Longmire, 2555 Wantland
opened the questioning from the
floor by asking if the street was
to become a truck route.
Mayor Slater pointed out that
while there had been talk of build
ing a bridge across the canal at
the north end, as far as he knew
it was not going to become an
east-side bypass. "As for trucks,'
he continued, "they have the right
to use any streets in the city,
and we can't stop them."
LeRoy W. Lubke, 2550 Darrow,
wanted to know whether or not
the state or county planned to put
in the bridge and pave the street,
commenting, "If they arc, why
should we pay for paving the
street. Let someone else pay for
it." '
BIGGEST AREA of disagree
ment centered on the width of the
street. The city planning commis
sion has recommended that the
street, if paved, should be made
44 feet wide to handle all future
traffic.
Residents protested this Monday
night, saying they only wanted a
36 foot street. Mayor Slater em
phasized that since all that was
required was a 36 foot street, and
that it would be 44 feet to meet
city needs, the city would assume
the cost of an eight foot strip in
the middle.
Other persons present expressed
the fear that if it were paved a 44
foot width, it might tend to turn
the street into a busy thoroughfare
rather than a residential street.
An informal hand ballot of those
present revealed that the majority
opposed the project.
A councilman questioned the pe
tition as presented since it pos
sessed only eight names, and the
charter requires that 10 property
owners must sign it to get coun
cil action. Either this, he pointed
out, or the project must be in
troduced by a councilman.
THE CIRCULATOR of the pe
tition, William Ackerman, 2316
Wantland, arose and withdrew the
petition when it appeared that op
position to the plan would kill the
project anyway.
In other matters, Charles Schuss,
director of the chamber of com
merce, appeared with Lewis Way-
burn of the Klamath Merchants
Association to request permission
to erect a signboard opposite the
terminal of the West Side Bypass
at Main Street. The signboard
would inform travelers of accom
modations available in Klamath
Falls and urge them to stop here.
Permission was granted to erect
the sign, except the council asked
that they be furnished with a
sketch of the signboard first.
The request to rezone Block 310
in Darrow Addition to permit con
struction of an apartment unit was
given first and second reading,
and then ordered held up until
evidence of actual construction is
presented to the council.
The council deferred action on
"close-out" sale ordinance for
another week.
