Purchase of
Generators
At the meeting of the city coun­
cil Monday of this week, a recom­
mendation was presented by Civ­
il Defense Director B. J. Horn that
the city acquire a generator for
auxiliary use at the water plant
in case of emergency. The council
approved the suggestion and au­
thorized application to the surplus
property division for a 60-kilowatt
generator for the water plant and
a five-kilowatt generator for
lights, communications and heat
at the city hall.
Another recomemndation made
by Horn was that a local trainee
be sent for radiological training
for which the government pays
half the cost. No action was taken
on this.
The planning commission re­
commended that sale of city-
owned lots in First addition be
withheld until the completion of
the platting of the Oregon-Amer-
can area. The recommendation
was approved.
James Fuiten submitted a re­
vised lot numbering plan for the
Vernonia Memorial cemetery. The
council will study it to see what
effect there would be in relation
to existing records.
A final estimate of $6600 was
received for payment from John
Havlik, contractor for completing
work of sealing the sewage lagoon.
The lagoon was re-worked and
packed and a dike built to divide
it. Half of it is now being used
and is apparently holding.
In other council action, Fred
Dusek was authorized to cut two
dangerous trees from sidewalk
area at 626 Second street, Dusek
to do the work in return for wood
derived and to be responsible for
any damage incurred; liquor li­
censes were approved for Dick's
Tavern and Lew’s Place: the ap­
pointment of Mrs. David Bruns-
man to succeed Miss Ruby Young
on the library board was approved
and the inquiry of Fred Bender
about moving a survey monument
was decided to be a problem for
the county surveyor.
A report from the inspection
made recently of the Civil Defense
hospital was that the general ser­
vices administration had pro­
nounced this one the best in the
entire area and had offered to in­
crease it to 1000-bed setup if ad­
ditional refrigeration were pro­
vided. The council authorized ob­
taining an eight cubic foot or
larger refrigerator for this.
The Columbia County Histori­
cal society reported to the coun­
cil that they were not in favor
of a suggested change in plans for
living quarters at the museum and
the council agreed to go ahead
with the plans as prepared by No­
ble Dunlap.
Following the payment of bills,
the council adjourned at 10:40
p.m. and will meet again Novem­
ber 19.
Next Monday, November 12,
will be a school holiday in obser­
vance of Veterans Day which falls
on Sunday this year. It will also
be a bank and postal holiday but
Walter Linn, city recorder, indi­
cates that the city hall will be
open.
Brunsman Hardware has indi­
cated that they will take Monday
for a holiday but other businesses
contacted say they will be open
for business as usual.
