WATER PROBE STARTED Bi WIRES COMMITTEE NAMED TO COOPER ATE WITH BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL MANY PLANS GIVEN CONSIDERATION Councilman Toois Announcea Bull Run Water Could be Obtained for Probably Only Two Years Pure water for Oregon City. In an earnest and concerted effort to better the water conditions of Oregon City, the Live Wires of the Commercial Club consumed nearly three hours Tuesday night In a dis cussion of this all-Important subject, with the result that T. W Sullivan, B. T. McCain and Williaui Sbeahan were appointed a committee to co operate with the city council and water board In a solution of the prob lem that reached an acute stage with the present typhoid fever epidemic that Is gradually ebbing. The Live Wires also recommended to the city officials the appointment of a com petent englnoer to Investigate the different sources of a pure water sup ply, with a view to Its early utiliza tion. The organization also aent a message ' to the Woman's Club, re questing Its cooperation. The city health officer and the other physicians of Oregon City came In for their Innings and H. E. Cross, the Main 1 runk Line of the Live Wires, was directed to use his good offices to obtain the cooperation of the doc tors of the city with the authorities. Councilman Tooze was emphatic in bis declaration that the physicians of each other. "I'ntil they do," he said, Jregoa City should cooperate with "a great deal of criticism for existing conditions should come to them." Grant B. Dimick's motion urging the city council to Increase the salary of the city health officer to l'5 per month, and also urging upon the county court to appropriate a like arnoun'. for the county health officer was unanimously adopted. "The city1 said the ex-mayor, "should pay Its health ollicer at least as much as it pays its policemen." The discussion was participated In by F. J 8. Tooze, Dr. Hugh S. Mount, U. T. McIUln. J. E. Hedges. F. - A. Olmsted, M. J. Lee, and others. Mr. Too.o made a very comprehensive re port, going back to the date of the outbreak of the scourge and detailing what efforts had been made by the council committee on health, working with the city health officer and other authorities, to find some cause of the evil conditions and then finding an adequate remedy. He told of the rigid examinations that bad been made of the filtration plant and the reservoir and of the analyses that had oeen made, and then explained the various propositions for pure wat er that bad been investigated by the special council committee appointed by .Mayor Jones. He said the intake pipe vias in the basin at a most In opportune and dangerous place, where there is no current to carry away tho refuse, and be believed that exten sion of the intake out into the river and the installation of a hydrocloride process would d0 much to minimize the danger ot disease. Mr. Tooze told of bis iuierview, along with Councilman Hortou, with Mayor liushlighl, of Portland, rela tive to the leasability of procuring Bull Hun water, and he shattered tn-a hopes of many of the advocates of that plun, wneu he explained that no contract could be made lor a greater period than two years, because of the always prevailing possibility of a change in administration. He also explained that the reason Gresbam had bteu given Bull Kun water is be cause the pipe line runs through that town on the way to Portland, and be told of the unusual conditions that prevailed at Linnton, where Bull Run water Is furnished at a very high cost to the consumersa Alter discussing the various sour ces for a pure water supply that had been suggested, Mr. Tooze turned his guns of water knowledge on the ar tesian well supply. He said a com pany was ready to put in a 16-inch wood pipe from wells about nine miles ironi Oregon City; to guaran tee 1,500,000 gallons every 24 hours, at a cost ot 50 cents per mouth per consumer, on a basis of 1200 people. This concern would ask for a 20-year franchise, giving the city the privi lege of purchase at the end of any 6-year period, at a price to be set by the public utilities commission. Mr. Tooze said the city could build its own plant. If desired, securing the land for $500, laying the 16-inch pipe on cement blocks, eight feet apart, at a cost of $30,000, Installing pumps at an expense of $5000, and drilling wells at a cost of $2000. The operating ex pense, he said, would be about $600 per month, including interest The Clear Lake proposition, by which II is proposed to supply all the towns of the Willamette Valley with pure water, next claimed the atten tion of Councilman Tooze, who haa, within the last few days, talked with Lewis C. Kelsay, the engineer who de vised the scheme, and who is con sulting engineer for the State Board of Health. This plan does not meet with fivor locally because of the fact that five years would be required to get water to Oregon City, whose need is urgent Mr. Tooze concluded by stating that Mr. Kelsay had agreed with the council committee to make a complete investigation of the var ious water sources, and make re port to the city, and the committee will recommend an arrangement with (Continued on page 4) FRUIT EXPERTS TO Meetings to encourage the fruit growers of the county to get the best results will be held next week by Professor Wilson, of the Oregon Ag ricultural College; W.

VIS POINT IN SALARY SUIT COURT DECLINES TO ENJOIN CITf TRAESURER FROM PAY ING MONEY CASE TO BE HEARD ON COMPLAINT Lawyers for Police Chief Argue that Client Did Work and la En. titled to Pay ment Circuit Judge Eakin Monday declin ed to grant a temporary injunction asked by Grant B. Dlmlck, ev mayor, against M. D Latourette, city treas urer, paying the salary warrants of E. L. Shaw. Thia Is considered a vic tory by Shaw, who acted aa chief of police and Jailer during the admin istration ot Mayor DimicJc, although the muyor declined to appoint Shaw chief. Shaw was represented by W. M. Stone, city attorney and J. E. Hedges, special counsel. Judge Eakin announced. In declin ing to grant the Injunction, that he would take the complaint under ad visement Messrs. Stone and Hedges' contended that the suit should have been against the city and not against the city treasurer. Charles E. Burns, appointed chief by Mayor Dlmlck, served four months, when he resign ed and filed suit against the city for hu salary. Judge Eakin decided In asmuch as the appointment had not been approved by the council. Burns was not chief and consequently not entitled to salary. Shaw meanwhile had been appointed Jailer by the council. Judge Eakin recently decided that Shaw was not chief of police during the Dimlck administration, because he hud been dismissed by the mayor, although the council had fought for his being retained. Shaw, how ever, has disposed of his warrants, and bis counsel and himself are con fident the court will decide they are valid inasmuch as be has not only performed the duties of chief of po lice but Berved as jailor throughout the year. The ordinance passed by the council creating the office of jail er provided for a salary of $100 a month, the same as the chief re ceives.

Swift, superinten dent, reported that satisfactory pro gress was being made. Grant B. Dim lck, secretary, reported that the road would be In operation to Mount Angel before next fall. W. A. Huntley, treas urer, reported that a great deal of stock had been sold in the past six months and that the financial outlook for the road waa most gratifying. Many of the stockholders from var ious parts of this and surrounding counties declared that the residents of their section were keenly Interest ed In the road and that many who had not subscribed for stock would do so In the near future.
