City Sets Tax Rate
AT 90 Cents Per 500
Discussion Is Spirited on Erec-
ton of Railroad Safety Gates

Setting the tax rate at 80 cents
per 500 Of assessable property, the
same as last year; hearing protest
on the erection of safety gates at the
Second street railroad crossing, hear
ing several other delegations on re-
pairs and improvements, and decid-
ing on other civic matters occupied
the May meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council of Oakland on Monday
night. The session did not adjourn
until around midnight.
The most spirited discussion con-
ccrned the erection of safety gates
where X. E. McIntire, Ward Hne
baugh, Bernard Nally and Cheston
Browning registered their opposition
to the plan. They declared the gates
were not safe, would retard traffic
and throw three men out of employ
ment.
The change was unanimously
agreed upon by the Mayor and Coun-
ell at meetings several months ago,
and the b. and o. railroad already
has made arrangements for their
erection at a cost of some $4,000.
Mayor limbaugh stated the council
had word from b. and o. officials that
no men would lose employment as a
result of the move.
The council decided to take no
action on the protest. A letter was
shown from B. |. Gender, who former
ly opposed the gates declaring that
since checking with people directly
interested he had come to the con-
clusion that the change to crossing
gates would not impede traffic over
the railroad crossing.
TO Widen Third Street
The Council took steps to widen
Third street, from Green to Oak,
widening nine feet from Alder to
Oak, taking the space from the side
walks, and five feet from Alder to
Green. A storm sewer from Alder to
Green is to be laid, with a concrete
curb and gutter. When repairs are
completed Mayor Joseph limbaugh
said the State Roads commission
would pave the widened space. This
area has been considered bottle
neck for traffic for long time.
Council also agreed that beginning
May Is, that fee of 10 cents would
be made for failing to pay for park
ing meter space, instead Of cents,
as at present.

The dates for cleanup week were
set from May % to 27, at which time
