VOLUME XXVIIH: MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS AND A. B. C. LA GRANDE, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1930 EASaiUIN OREGON'S IiUA.DI.VO NEWSPAPER NUMBER 4 THIRD WELL MOVE MEETS J WITH FAVOR La Grande Men Inter viewed all Express Them 1 selves For Project. NONE QUESTIONED : OPPOSED TO PLAN Commissioners Commend ji ed by Several Because , of Their Decision to 4 Drill Again. To insure La Grande of an adequate Yater supply, the city commission re cently voted two-to-one to drill an other deep artesian well, the, cost o be about 925,000. A. A. Durant, of Walla Walla, who drilled the two wells now In use, has been awarded the contract for the third well., i City officials believe the under taking is assured of success inasmuch c indications are that the capacity of the water source has not been reach ed. The well will be financed out of the city budget in four yearly Install ments, which will hardly affect the -. tax rate. - - ; jLln an effort to learn the views of & Grande business men on-the third well plan. The Observer selected sev eral names at random, and upon be- Ing interviewed. It was found that all were favorable to a third well. , i The interviews follow: , Dr. A. 1. Richardson: "There- Is Nothing more deplorable than a city jivithcut water. If we need the well, if a proper location is found ho that . it would not interfere with the other two wells, if It will actually increase our water, certainly t am in favor of it. Why wait until we actually heed the water and then drill the well?- I think-that the commission is using fine Judgment a netware .very far sighted in anticipating a short age and providing for it before the actual need comes." i- Aug. J. Stange: "Thera. Is no ques tion in my mind, but what -the city needs an additional water supply. The Beaver Creek line Is uncertain and cannot be depended upon. - The pres ent two wells, without Beaver creek, would be inadequate to supply. our City requirement during the dry sea : sons. La Grande is destined to in crease In size annually, and, that means more water consumption. Our r. present commissioners are to be com -pllmented on their efforts tq secure for this community a supply of water sufficient for future requirements. :-;They should have the wholehearted .support of every taxpayer, because .".their efforts to secure adequate water It pel Is the prosperity of La Grande."; i. Colon H. Eberhard: "The success or the two d resent citv wells . and? the rmcertalnty of tlie Beaver creek iiip-' ply. tlon certainly Justifies the ' ommiy In experimenting with'1 V Inlrof well." Dr. Ray Murphy: "The Beaver creek pipe line will eventually be done away with: these other wells have .proven successful and if we need more water, , should be done." -1 -; .', . t H. E. Inlow: "Provision foruan am ple supply of pure water hi a wise and essential meusure of health in surance and civic development In any community. La Grande is, fortunate in having an easily accessible supply gf pure artesian water, and the city government is to be commended for taking necessary steps towards mak ing It available for use."

City Considers Request for New Fire Equipment Smaller Pumper Truck is Urged Gas Corpora tion Receives Twenty Year Franchise. Consideration of a request from Fire Chief C. T. Lindsay for a new 500-gallon pumper truck, and 'final passage of the ordinance granting r. 20-year franchise to the Natural Gas Corporation of Oregon occupied mcst of the time at last night's city commission meeting. Chiel Lindsay stated in his re quest that the present La France truck, which has been In service since about 1912. should cither be repaired or else new equipment should be secured. He pointed out that new equipment is desirable in asmuch as the pumper occasionally goes out of town to help neighbor ing communities, and a small pump er truck is needed to afford the city thorough protection during such ex igencies. Answers Out-of-Town Calls lie said the fire department ans wered 18 out-of-town culls last year and believes that more have been answered this year than In 1020. The commissioners suggested that ar. estimate be prepared of the amount necessary to place the pres ent chemlcul truck In condition be fore any definite action is taken. City Manager W. C. Crews said that purchase or a smaller pumper truck can be handled In the budget li the city cares to go aheud in the motter. Reconditioning the present truck, he said, means a new motor, new tires, und general overhauling. Offhand, he estimated this would cost at leaBt 91500. A. T. Hill, president of the city commission, suggested that it might be well to confer with the county court In the hopei of securing some cooperation in the purchase of a new pumper truck, Inasmuch as the La Grande fire department frequent ly prevents loss outside of the city limits In the country territory. iis Franchise Passed The third and final reading of the gas franchise was followed by a unanimous vote that it be adopted. It vill become effective at the ex piration of 30 days from last night, provided the corporation accepts It in writing. It provides that two per cent of the gross earnings of the cor poration be paid annually to the city beginning Jan. 1, 1934, "and names a maximum rate of $2 per thousand cubic feet. , The ' franchise specifies (Continued on.
