Proposed Sewerage System
For Myrtle Creek Planned In
Response To Official Order
." Sewerage system for Myrtle
" Creek, as proposed in a prelimi
nary plan by James R. Daugh
erty, city engineer, covers the
platted and populated areas in
side the present corporate boun-
'daries of Myrtle Creek, and pro
vides for extensions into areas
which may be annexed in the
future.
Daugherty's preliminary plan
.was prepared for presentation to
the State . Sanitary authority,
which has ordered Myrtle Creek
city officials to complete their
plans within three months for
an adequate sewage disposal sys
tem and a means for financing
"The preliminary plan has been
designed to conform to grades
established by a complete topo
graphy survey," said Daugherty
In a letter to the sanitary auth
ority. "The existing sanitary facili
ties for most of the residences
have been located on the down
hill side, which necessitates pro
viding sewers at the rear of
many blocks of lots, to avoid
excessive depths. The ultimate
decision on final locations will
have to be determined by more
detailed - investigations of indi
vidual areas in many cases.
"There is an existing sewer
system serving the Main street
'vicinity and discharging into Myr
tle Creek, but no record has been
kept of location, sizes or type
of construction.

Civil Service Employee Could Get
$17,500 Annually On $7.43 Pay-In
WASHINGTON, July 26-WP)
' One government employee who
. paid a total of $7.43 into the civil
. service retirement fund now is
eligible to receive retirement
benefits of $17,500 a year,- a
House civil service committee re
' port disclosed. '
Based on actuarial life expect
ancy figures, the employee may
collect more than $150,000 on his
$7.43 unless Congress passed leg
islation recently approved by the
committee and now awaiting
House action. '
The civil service commission,
urging passage of ihe bill, said it
would deny the employee the
"huge " retirement benefits and
give him Instead a $1,950 annuity.
The situation arose this way:
The employee was a federal
referee in government bankrupt
cy cases and during the time he
was employed, the referees re
cived one percent of the assets
distributed. He earned a peak if
$220,000 from Jonuary 1 to June
30, 1947.
Federal referees at the time
were not under the civil service
retirement system but were in
cluded late?

his job and' took one irthe office

the excess cost for pumping and

of cleaning and repairing the old

. "The proposed disposal plant
location at the junction of Myrtle
creek and the South Umpqua riv
er is most advantageous topo
graphically and also strategicallv,
being isolated and available. The
effluent from the plant would be
discharged into the South Ump
qua river, safely downstream
from the water Dumping station.
"The alternate disposal plant'
location, below the h"acuic. high

pipe; 260 lineal feet of 12-inch
pipe; 380 lineal feet of 15-inch

"There are three inverted siph

system will be gravity flow to the
pumping station and the amount
of lift required will be determin

WASHINGTON, July 25 UP
Legislation permitting use of
$35,000,000 in federal health funds
in private as wefl as ' public
schools was approved today by
a House commerce subcommit

amendments described as minor
by members. . .. - ,
The bill will come before the

It is not the same aid-to-education
bill which has precipitated
a hot controversy i over use of
federal funds for private and pa

none of the features which have
caused Catholic leaders to assail

However. It has an indirect
bearing on the general measure
offered by Rep. Bardcn (DNC)
