STATE BOARD IS IN FAVOR OF WEST SIDE That Ihe federal government and Uate will make a grave mistake If it rollown out tho suggestion of Kngl neer Melndoe to abandon the old locks at Oregon City and build new locks on the east side of the river, seems to be tlm consensus of opinion of the mcmherH of the canal and loc-lf hoard and also of other utate olHceri. As argument againit the abandon ment of the old locks they call at tention to tho fact that the state now has a $20D,000 Interest in them, un:I that If new locks are built, that they will be valueless. It is contended by them that the. jiresent locks should he purchased and repaired and over hauled and deejiened und that th. y would then accomodate nny and nil trallic on the river. As a further ar gument against the building of new locks on the east side, the fact la cited that to begin with, It will bo necessary to ( ondemn much valua ble property belongiug to factories In Oregon City, and that thut . means years of litigation. The canal and lock board will hold a meeting Saturday to consider tha subject. street B street and Sherman street. The council also adopted a resolu tion providing for the Improvement with bitulllhlc pavement of A street from Sixth street to Ash street.
