FEBRUARY 6, 1920 CflY WATER WORK 10 COST $5111 It Costs You Less to Buy Here Because it Costs Us Less to Sell ? Miles Improvement Programme for Year Is Outlined. COT"! PLANS BEING PREPARED THE 3IOKMNG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, Start on Work of Obtaining Xew Conduit From Bull Run Is Also Proposed. Flans for improvements to the Port land water system, estimated to cost in excess of 500,000. are being pre pared under the direction of Fred Randlett. chief engineer of the water bureau. In addition to these Improve ments, which it is planned to com plete during the present year. Mr. Randlett contemplates obtaining au thority to survey a right of way for a new conduit from Bull Run to Portland. The principal proposed improvement will be the removal of the present steel standplpe in the Vernon district to St. Johns and the erection of a con crete or steel combination standplpe to replace the old Vernon storage tank. The new standplpe will cost ap proximately J.30,000, according to tentative plans. Xo definite decision has yet been reached on the type of standplpe to be constructed.' but . within two weeks it is expected that this point will be settled and the council will be asked to authorize the awarding of contracts. Pipe Already Purchased. The water bureau has purchased S75 tons of cast-iron pipe to be in stalled in streets throughout the city which are to be hard-surfaced during the summer. It may be neces - sary to purchase additional pipe for this work, although this can not be ascertained until the complete pav ing programme has been decided upon. Although Engineer Randlett does r.ot expect to obtain authorization for the construction of the additional con duit this year, he is eager to have the preliminary work done so that his force may be ready to go forward with the work in 1931. Under present conditions the two conduits which carry the water sup ply to Portland have a capacity which during the summer months leaves only a small reserve above the maxi mum water demand. For this reason neither pipe line can be closed dur ing the summer months for repairs. Anticipating further growth of the city. Mr. Randlett is certain that Port land must have the third conduit not later than five years hence. Start of Work la Urged. Inasmuch as it Is estimated that it will take two years to prepare plans and acquire the right of way, and an other two years to construct the line. Engineer Randlett recommends the inauguration of the work this year. Plans are also being made for a new headworks near the location of the present headworks, some 30 miles dis tant from Portland. The present headworks is said to be inadequate and it ,1s probable that some move will be made next year to obtain au thority to construct a new one. Under the direction of C. E. Oliver, assistant engineer, the work of mak ing a permanent storage lake of Bull Run lake probably will be completed this summer. This work includes the construction of a huge dam and the filling in of places in the lake where, heretofore, the surplus w.-.ter has Beeped out. All the field work in the water bureau to be accomplished this year will be in charge of Ben Morrow, as sistant water engineer, who has re sumed his position in the water bu reau after more than two years' serv ice overseas. , mm ami Use Vegetole when making baking powder biscuits 2 cupfala lifted floor. 4 taaspoonfula baking powder. 1 teaspoonful salt. 2 Ublespoonfull Vegetole. 15 to 1 cupful milk or Vj milk and water.
