Drain's new $35,000 water reservoir Is nearing completion. Lo
cated on hill west of the city, the twin concrete tanks will hold
a total of approximately 650,000 gallons of water and replace a
90.000-galIon wooden tank formerly used.
Half the reservoir was completed last winter and Is now roofed
with corrugated aluminum sheeting. The 'first half of the tank was
used while the old reservoir was removed and the second halt of
the new reservoir was dug.
McKcnna and Wellt of Inde
pendence, Ore., have been the
contractors for the reservoir con
struction, while Howard E. Rose
of Portland is the subcontractor
for "blowing" the concrete by
means of compressed air on the
sloping sides and bottom of the
tanks.
Better Conoreta Method
Rose uses the "Gunlte method,
which has been employed for
nearly 45 years, he said. A denser
concrete mixture is produced than
by tne standard way oi mixing
and pouring the concrete, he ex-
ilalned. The dry ingreoients are
lown by compressed air through
hose and mixed with water at
the nozzle. Originally steam in
stead of compressed air was used
in tne process.
Advantages or mixing concrete
this way, Rose said, are that one
third to one-half less water is
required than In the standard
methods and the finished product
Is less porous than poured con
crete. A "Gunlte" concrete floor
need he only three Inches thick,
he said, where a poured con
crete floor would be six Inches
thick.
The man who operates the hose
must be an expert. For he regu
lates the amount of water flow.

hose, by means of a valve. If the
mixture is too wet or too dry, he
changes the amount of water. The
compressed air tamps the con
crete mixture down hard. With
out that pressure, the concrete
would crumble when dry, Rose
said.
"Gunlte" has been used exten
sively by the U. S. Reclamation
Service In constructing Irrigation
canals. Rose said. It is also used
to fire-proof ateel beams. In the
latter process mesh is wrapped
around the beams and the blown
concrete clings to the steel.
Ben B. Irving, consulting en
gineer to the City of Drain, said
the reservoir has cost approxi
mately $20,000. The aluminum
roof, supported by 75-foot wood
arch trusses, cost S6.5O0 to install.
The balance of a $35,000 bond is
sue Is being used to complete the
reservoir.
Dimensions of the two tanks
are J18 by 148 feet at the top
and 40 by 80 feet at the bottom.
Flexibility of use will be provided
by the two tanks. Water la
brought In from Bear Creek,
about five miles wost of the city,
by a six-Inch Intake, while dis
charge to the city is through an
eight-nlrh pipe. City water mains
are wooden, Irving said.
and the route to the north en
trance of the lake will not be
opened until the end of July, the
K.ate Highway commission said
today. It will take that long to
remove snow and slides.
The earliest historian probably
was Herodotus.
. The French language grew
from the colloquial Latin of Caes
ar's legions combined with Cel
tic, Germanic and Gallic words.
It was not called "French" until
the 11th Century, when It took
Its name from the small king
dom of France around Paris and
Orleans.
