Johnson refused to refer to
the groups as "police boards."
They will, however, "control the

Indications ware that tbe su

Interested In ferreting out viola

lahing violators. Plans call for
a separate group for each indus

Beyond that, he declined to
commit himself.

Armory Bonds to .
Be Discussed by
Councilmen Today
Tha bond Issue ot 345,000 to
strnctlon of the armory will be
studied by the city council in
meeting Saturday afternoon. The
Issue was voted by the people ot
the city at the 1930 general
election and the bonds and in
terest will be retired by a levy
on real property.
To retire tbe bonds It Is ani
mated that a two and a halt mill .
levy would be made yearly. The
council had at first hoped the
armory bonds would be self-llq-
uldatlng and eventually be re
tired from revenues collected
from tbe building. Thla waa
found to be impossible, how
ever, and the council desired ad
ditional time to consider the
matter before Issuing the bonds.
Relief A Problem. .
Other contributing factors will
be taken under consideration oy
the council as well with the mat
ter ot relief looming large in
their probable decision to issue
the bonds.
The government ha announc-'
ed that it will put up one-third
of the amount ot money sup
plied by a community In new
construction of public work, this
money to go for direct relief
purposes. According to this plan.
Klamath county and Klamath
Falls would receive about $30,
000 for relief through construc
tion of the armory. This amount
is entirely separate from building
