Water Committee's Official Report Plan Recommended for Partner ship Brought Forth In State ment to Councils uf Oregon CHy and West Linn. Oregon City, Ore., April 15, 1914. To The Honorable Mayor and City Council: Wn, your committee, to whom was Intrusted the duty of negotiating with West Mnn for the purpose of devising ways and means of Jointly obtaining a pure mountain water supply for the two cities, do most humbly beg to report the following: We recommend that Oregon City and West Mnn proceed Immediately to ob tain water rights, rights of way and do all things necessary for the early com nletion of an up to-dnte water system from the south fork of thn Clackamaa river to Oregon tlty. That Oregon City and West Mnn eq ter Into an agreement where Oregon City will acquire an undivided two thirds Interest In thn proposed pipe linn system and In the total amount of water delivered through said system on thn payment by It of two thirds of thn toU cost tnereor west wnn win nrnulrn an undivided onn third Inter est In the proposed system and In the total amount of water deliverea through said system on the payment nf It of one third or tne total cost thereof. Oregon City to pay two thirds of the total cost of construction, maintenance and patrol of aald water supply sys tem snd West Mnn to pay one third thereof. That a combined commission com posed of all members, four members from Oregon City and two members from West Linn, be atithorlbed and empowered to construct said complete water system with full power to act That said commission be organised with a chairman, secretary, attorney, engineer, etc. All meetings of com mission require five members to make a quorum. All matters to be voted on at their meetings must have five votes to carry. Chairman to have a vote on all questions. At the completion or the proposed water system this committee will be discharged and Oregon City's Interest will he turned over to the proper au thorities of Oregon City. West Linn's Interest will be turned over to West Linn's authorities. That the future welfare, maintenance and patrol be placed In the hands of a commlttoe composed of four mpn from Oregon City and two men from West Linn. This committee (Joint) or the dulv authorized committee aforesaid should have the power to sell water at a Just rate to our neighboring communities. The money to be derived from the aale of water to be divided between Oregon City and West Linn accord ing to their interests in the water ao aold. Oregon City to construct and main tain Its own reservoir at the most feas able point east of the Willamette river to be selected by the engineer of Ore gon City's committee. West Linn to select snd construct its own reser voir In West Linn. In case of accident to the water supply system and It la found neces sary to supply the cities from the wa ter In the reservoirs, the total amount of water In Orwcon City's reservoir will be for Oregon City's sole use and West Linn having no Interest in this reservoir must secure its supply from the totsl amount of water It has In Its reservoir In West Linn. West Linn will charge Its water con sumers at least as much as Oregon City charges its water consumers. After the completion of the said water supply system West Linn must at her own expense, from time to time, convey her one third, or as much thereof as she needs for her own use. to her reservoir at WestJJnn. Right of way will be granted by Oregon City during the life of the agreement to West Linn, free of charge, for said main, to Oregon City's westerly limits, or so near thereto as Oregon City haa power to act. If feasable and an en gineering possibility West Linn will have the Joint use of that certain main now leading from the present pumping station to the present reservoir for the purpose of conveying her portion of the water to West Linn. In this case It will be necessary for West Linn to connect her main onto said main at a convenient place near the present pumping station. Oregon City to re serve the right to take away this priv ilege at any time it becomes necessary for her to use the same. Oregon City will have absolute own ership and control of Its present and future water distributing system and to any extensions thereto. West Linn to have the same control and owner ship over Its local distributing system. Each city to collect its local water rates and pay Its own local operating: cost. In older to carry out the true in tent of the plan we would suggest and recommend thnt the committee be re organized and that a Joint committee from West Linn nnd Oregon City be composed of four members from Ore eon City and two members from West Linn. West Linn to deliver to Oregon City a bond contract for ner one tnira oi the total cost of said water supply system. The same to bear 6 per cent Interest: paynhle semi-annually and to bear even date with Oregon City's proposed" bonds. At the end of six years West Linn is to pay off one twentieth of said contract and each year thereafter pay a like amount of. principal until the whole amount is paid out. At any time Oregon City de sires serial bonds in place of said con tract, then on demand Weat Linn is to furnlah the same in denominations, etc., as per the pleasure of Oregon City. . Should either city at a later date re quire a greater amount of water than proposed aforesaid; that Is, should Oregon City renulre more than two mil lion gallon for her two thirds as afore said, or West Linn require more than one million gallons, or her one third aforesaid, then either city may buy from the other at cost (interest 5 per cent, depreciation 5 per cent plus up keep, etc.) for such period as either does not require the amount so sold. Should both cities have use for the full amount they own and more water be needed, then each city1 must look elsewhere for Its sdditlonal supply. We would also recommend that a good strong contract and agreement be drawn up between the two cities in question covering every point of tha question, so that the future guid ance and welfare of the same will be properly guarded and protected.

THREE MONTHS AFTER GRANT ING, LINE FILES FOR TRACK AGE RIGHTS The Portland and Oregon City Rail way company haa filed in the record er's office an acceptance of the fran chise granted by the city council near ly three months ago. Thia line is known as the Carver road.

From Twelfth street south the franchise gives the line a common user over the tracks of the Willamette Valley Southern railway. The franchise runs for 25 years and provides that at the explra- Hon of 15 years the council may de termine the compensation to be paid to the city for the remaining 10 years. For some time past rumors of ac tivity in the country between Oregon City and Portland and in the Logan districts have come into this city.

Oak land, the league'a tail-enders, put Portland another step nearer that po sition yesterday when Devlin's band ran over a myriad of shoals, any one of which might have thrown the game to Portland.
