In Day or Two

Washington, June 7.-One mil
lion dollars would be made i'm
mediately available for relief work

ence at the White House and war

were emphatically of the opinion
that something should be done by
the federal government to relieve
distress and suffering in the Pu-
eblo district.
The resolution will be treated
as emergency legislation, Senator
Phipps said, adding that 1t was
expected that the million dollar re-
lief fund would be available with
in a couple Of days.

nounced today that contributions
received in answer to President

Cent Fare
Protest To Be Filed
With Commission;
Company May Tear
Up Summer Track

The Salem Street Car company
both lost and won at a meeting OF
the city council held last night
lost when 1t failed to get recon-
sideration of the councils decis-
ion to file a protest against the
three cent rise. in car fares, and
won when an ordinance, submit
ted by Alderman Wenderoth and
calculated to forestall the COM
panys move to tear up it's North
Summer street track, was voted
down by the council.
At the suggestion or Alderman
Giesy, the council voted to in
struct the city attorney to file
formal protest with the public
service commission against the
proposed eight cent car fare for
Salem. Later Mr.. Giesy explained
to l. N. Day, of the car company,
that his motion was not necessar-
lily put because he himself object
ed to the rise, but because hu felt
he was following out the wishes
of the people.
Hearing to Be Attended
City Attorney Smith was also
instructed by the council to at
tend the rehearing of the phone
rate case to be held on July 1S.
The council decided that the city
OF Salem might act more effective
ly by itself, and declined an invi-
tation to join other counties of
the state in presenting the city's
case before the public service
commission.
Declaring that the street car
company suffers heavy loss on
its North Summer street line, Mr..
Day made a brief, pointed talk to
the aldermen. The company, it
appears, wishes to remove four
blocks of its track on North Sum-
mer street prior to the time that
the city starts its paving activi-
ties there. Mr.. Day said the COM
pany realizes but about rs cents
day from it's patrons in that vi
cinity, while it's expenses are
many times that amount.
Bids to be Called For
Residents of North Capitol
street who have sought to have
their street paved for some time
were encouraged by acsfon OF the
council last night. After Council
man Thompson had made inquir-
les Of the street committee, that
body gave a favorable verbal re-
port which was adopted by the
council and the city attorney was
to draw resolutions
calling for bids.
The city's purchasing agent was
instructed to buy so barrels of
asphalt which will be used in re-
pairing the city streets.
Several petitions, requesting
that streets be graded and sewers
installed, were referred to the
street committee and the sewer
committee. Three sidewalk resolu-
tions were adopted, and several
others, which were introduced,
were referred to the street COM
mittee.
Mayor Gets Riled
Fire Chief Hutton was last
night instructed to install a hyd-
rant at the corner or 25th and
Bellevue streets.
Certain members Of the council
were reprimanded by Mayor Hal
vorsen, who felt that too much
talking was being done on the side
lines. IF we're going to have a
meeting, let's have it," he said,
'if not, let's quit"
