Ongm PAGE 7-A 1" m f S " I''''" Truck Use Of Highways Subject Of State Study The Oregon Slate Highway De partment is undertaking a high way classification study which will determine maximum possible use of highways by the trucking industry, according to Forrest Cooper, state highway engineer. Some of the state's older high ways have sharp curves which cannot he negotiated by the largest-size trucks without cross ing over the center stripe. For this reason, many of these older highways are restricted to trucks of shorter length. A three-unit caravan will make the study. The pilot car of the caravan warns the other two ve hicles of oncoming traffic with its two-way radio or stops the traffic when necessary. A bright led 40-foot semi-trailer follows the pilot car and tests curves in the road. The operator in the ob servation car behind the truck takes movies of the turn and MERRILL HIGH CHEER LEADERS Two new members and a returning veteran were picked to represent Merrill High School in the cheer leading section during the school's athletic contests next year.

City Requests Refund For Erroneous Taxes MOUNT SHASTA A refund of: $802.60 plus interest is the amount asked by the city of Mount Shas ta from Siskiyou County on taxes erroneously levied on the city park property. The property was once owned by Chico State Col lege and deeded to the city a number of years ago. The park has been maintained as a public facility and has been in constant ue. members of the city coun cil learned at their last meeting. A variance permit to Wilbur Pope was granted, with the con ditions specified by the city planning commission for a build ing to house a hardware business on Chestnut Street. Conditions arc that Pope provide eight off-street parking spaces and additional off street loading space in the rear of the building. Pope's present build ing on Lake Street will not be usable when the access street is put in use upon completion of the freeway. Charles Echols, department of public works, reported that park ing space offered for lease by Vic tor Andreatta, adjacent to the post office and to be used as a city parking lot, would cost $2,200 to pave and $1,100 to gravel providing 19 spaces. Another site on East Castle Street is for sale and would provide 14 spaces. Council voted to buy a parking lot if an agreeable price can be reached. James Shiro. head ranger of the Sacramento district office in Mount Shasta, explained to the council that he has had numer ous complaints about the fire si rens making too much noise on downtown streets. He said the forest service would be liable if an accident were to occur while the fire trucks were en route to a fire with no sirens. He added it was a state law that vehicles sound sirens from the time they leave the forest service property and are on occupied streets. In further business, sealed bids were opened and read on tlie city Chevrolet station wagon offered for sale. A bid of $526 from W. L. Angers was accepted. Coun cil was advised that a water as sociation is being formed by E. M. Katzer to take in the present wa ter users south of the city limits. The South Mount Shasta Water Klamathites Host Vets Association will he revamped in units, leaving out Unit 1 which was taken into the city hy an nexation last year. A proposed sewer line is being studied for the area west of. and including. Maple Street and West Lake Street, where seme busi nesses will move to more satis factory sites when the access en trance off the freeway is com pleted. Echols was asked to look into the best route for the line. Improvement of Cedar Street, from West Alma to Ivy Street, will he done with state gas tax refund money. The last block will remain as it is, because owners of he property on that block did not sign up in the survey to attain a 60 per cent majority wanting surfacing, curbs, and gut ters. Cedar will be a dead-end street when the freeway goes through, and no more gas tax money will be allocated for it as a main thoroughfare. voice-records some of the data Some still pictures are also tak' If the semi s wheels cross the center line, it is recorded by the movie camera. The classification study will pin point the trouble spots, and a modest program of betterment will be undertaken. In some cases, minor improvement of a very few isolated cases will permit reclassification of a highway to standard permitting longer loads. This information will be made available to the trucking industry. Previously some 55 per cent, or 4.100 miles, of highway had been classified. There is no prob lem with the interstate highways as they will take any legal-size truck. Held For Homicide, Armed Robbery Acts Following a chase by Oregonlwas placed under guard.
