Storage Building Rental Approved Matters dealing with traffic, sidewalks and parking meters were discussed Monday night by Galesburg councilmen, who also voted to rent a building from the Illinois Power Co. in which to store city salt supply. The rental price will be $200 a month. City Manager Harbaugh explained to the Council that some 180 tons of rock salt, used to salt city streets, has been stored outside and is slowly deteriorating due to weather. The salt costs $17 a ton, Harbaugh added.

He explained that city has no building in which to put the salt and that the utility is willing to rent the space to the city on a month-by-month basis. The company is in the process of selling the structure, located near Ferris and Cedar streets. Councilman Erickson was the only objector to the proposal, as it passed 4-1. He said the Council should try to find a city building for this purpose. Pass Ordinance An ordinance restricting parking on the north side of West Main street between Columbus and Bandy avenues was unanimously passed.

The ban will be effective from 6 to 9 a.m. and is designed to help the traffic flow from Arbor avenue a street leading to Galesburg industrial district.

The rebate was requested by Fox Concrete Products Co. Councilman Erickson sparked a debate with Mayor Cabeen when he asked wRy barricades have not been removed on the south side of East Main street, immediately east of the Public Square. The councilman for the past month has asked that a broken sidewalk on Main street be repaired.

Damaged by Firm The walk was reportedly damaged by a wrecking firm when a building on East Main street was Harbaugh said that while the hole in the walk has been fixed he does not feel it is safe to walk on it because a tunnel exists underneath. He added that tests would be needed to determine the strength of the sidewalk. The discussion with Cabeen took place when the mayor attempted to give Erickson an answer about the barricades and the councilman did not feel the mayor's answer was sufficient. Erickson also commented that funds should be found to widen sections of South street before it is resurfaced. The South street resurfacing project is scheduled for this summer.

Councilman Lindberg inquired about some rough areas on Locust and West Grove streets and Harbaugh said this will be investigated. To Give Report Councilman Zumwalt asked about a gravel driveway situation ner the Rowe Manufacturing Co. and Harbaugh said he will present a report to the Council on this matter in the near future. An $841 payment was made to Ray and Hazel Fryrear and Jasper Icenogle in Henderson County for crop and compaction damages caused by the Galesburg-Mississippi River pipeline roject. The councilmen made no mention of a recent editorial roposal in the Galesburg Register-Mail which suggested that an advisory vote be taken to determine public sentiment about the Council-Manager system and Harbaugh.

The newspaper, which in past weeks has gone on record suggesting that Harbaugh be" replaced, said editorially that the straw vote could presumably be held with the April 12 primary. However. Council action would be needed to place it on the ballot. READ THE WANT ADS! No Money Down On Any Purchase GALESIURG 125-135 E. Main St.

Principal Cites Grade Schools' Problem Areas The difficulty of finding well- trained teachers and a lack of materials are two major problems confronting District 205 elementary schools today, a school principal told the Board of Education Monday night.

Mrs. Eloise Omer, principal of Hitchcock School, outlined what she felt to be the responsibilities and problems of the grade school, in a talk to the Board following its brief business meeting. With regard to training of teachers, Mrs. Omer said, a teacher must "have a knowledge of subject matter, be a skilled director of children and a public relations expert." She called for a better balance of men and women teachers, and noted a lack of "enrichment comfortable classroom furnishings," Mrs. Omer urged the teaching of music and art appreciation, in addition to mere participation in these fields by pupils.

More Counseling The schools need more counseling services on a regular basis, Mrs. Omer said. The principal told the Board more time is needed in the school year, perhaps a few more weeks, and a longer classroom day would be useful in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The duties of the elementary school, the young principal added, are "to teach the Three Rs, to develop inquiring minds, to, teach children to be able to live with themselves and others and to teach them citizenship and national culture." Mrs. Omer was the fourth speaker to appear before the Board in a program through which various phases of the school system are presented by representatives of the district.

At the Feb. 22 meeting, Vernon Broadhead, principal of Galesburg High School, will discuss the problems relating to that area.

SWANSON ELECTRIC SERVICE Dial DI 3-221f 649 S. Academy St. Bureau Seeks Enumerators For Census CHICAGO fUPD-Help Wanted signs for people counters were hung out in Illinois today. The U.S. Census Bureau's regional director, Theodore Olson, said about 9,000 men and women will be needed for the I960 count, which begins about April 1.

i The state will be split for the census into sections corresponding to congressional districts. Supervisors for each district have been hired, Olson said, and these district offices will recruit personnel. Average $13 a Day The enumerators, Olson said, would be paid on the basis of work performed. The average enumerator, he said, would get about $13 a day but "real good ones will make much more." Six offices, each serving two districts, have been established in the Chicago area, and 13 in other communities, including: Bloomington; Quincy; Springfield; Joliet; Elgin: Waukegan; Peoria; Rock Island; Decatur; and East St. Louis.

District offices at Centralia and Herrin will open Friday, Olson said. Olson said the 1960 census probably would be easier than those of past years because forms will be mailed to all households for answering prior to the enumerator's visit.
