At its regular meeting Tuesday
night, the mayor and town council
directed an order be placed at the
earliest possible date for 400 pounds
of Calgon and a pump to force it into
the water lines.

cal that was recommended to elimi-
nate the undesirable mineral condi-
ton that now prevails in Oakland's
water supply. How much the new
equipment will cost has not yet been
determined.
Imperial Plant Expansion Told
Representatives of the Imperial Ice
Cream Co. appeared before the coun-
Gil and advised it of their expansion
plans for the Oakland plant. They
asked permission of the council to
close the alley in back of the Imperial
plant. The council, however, sug-
gested that the company trade land
between their plant and Leighton
Brothers garage so they can have an
outlet to their building. The Imperial
representatives said they would CON
slider the proposal and advise the
council of their findings.
Gas Company Explains Position
A member of the industrial sales
men for Cumberland and Allegheny
Gas Co. appeared in reference to sup
plying gas for heating purposes and
furnaces He explained that the gas
company was pooling all gas for the
present customers and that the COM
pany does not have enough gas for

tracts would be taken on until late

Railroad, formerly the Glades hotel
lot, for holding religious meetings.
Under terms of the lease, however,
the town was not permitted to use the
lot for anything other than town use.
Two Applications For Building
The council received two applica-
tions for construction in the town
limits. Joseph limbaugh applied for
a permit to erect a 1890 foot sign
on his property on the east side of
Third street. An application for build
ing a residence for Irwin Field on the
corner of 7th and High was made by
the Oakland Lumber Co.
McIntire Appears Before Council
Ronald +. McIntire, in behalf of
the McIntire Corporation, requested
that taxes on land off Eighth street
be cancelled as a trade for a right of
way at Ninth street. The request was
denied. Mayor Hinebaugh explained
that the McIntire property had not
been included on tax records for years
and that now that the error had been
discovered, bill was sent for the
past four years taxes. McIntire of
fered to trade the amount for a right
OF way between Eighth and Ninth
street. limbaugh, however, pointed
out that it has been the custom for
the property owner to donate the
right of way because the increase in
property value would offset the loss
of the right of way.

Cold Wave Continues
To Grip Northeast;
Floods Menace West
BY the Associated Press


Bitter cold gripped the North
eastern States yesterday and floods
and earthslides plagued Western
Washington.
A freak flood caused by a mas
sive ice jam put Columbia, Pa,
in a state of dire emergency.
The jam. one of the worst ever on
the Susquehanna River, knocked
the Columbia water works out of
commission.
I'm case of a fire we're as good
as wiped out" said Walter Rove,
burgess of Columbia, a community
of 10000.
He appealed to civil defense and
Red Cross agencies for aid. He
asked that water be hauled in
milk tanks to provide drinking
water.
Families Evacuated.
About so families have been
evacuated from along both sides
Of the river, which reached a
record height of II feet above
normal Friday and then receded
a foot. The river, a mile and a
quarter wide, was solid ice between
Columbia and Washington Boro,
four miles to the south.
A surge of Arctic air sent the
mercury skidding to 48 degrees be-
low zero at River Bend and As
at Owls Head in Northern New
York-lowest in recent history
Most of the State has been numbed
by temperatures far below zero
for the fourth straight day. Seven
deaths have been attributed t.
the weather.
Midwest Warns Up.
Most of the Midwest, after a
long seige of severe cold, began
warming up. h warm dry wind
from the Rocky Mountains sent
the temperature soaring to SO de-
grees at Great Falls, Mont.
The mercury shot up to 80 de-
grees in Hays. Kans, topping by
IS degrees the previous high for
the date set in 1918.
High temperatures in Nebraska

Burwell in the central part of the
State, 72 at North Platte in the
Southwest and II at Sidney in the

At the airport in Denver, Colo,
the temperature rose to 68 de-
grees-one below the high record

A high of near 10 was forecast
for Sunday.
Heavy Rains Continue.
Heavy rains that have sent
Washington rivers on a flooding
rampage continued in the Far
West. Some areas received more

The heavy downpours and
melting snow in the mountains
loosened earthslides in many
places, that wrecked homes,
blocked roads and threatened
lives. One man was killed and an
other disappeared in British Co.

The slides delayed rail travel
between Seattle and Portland.
They swept a half dozen beach
