City Commissioners
Explain Position On .
The Pipeline Project
' Continued xrom nge One)
from Gov. Meier asking what projects
we had in this community, that
could be submitted for consideration
under this program.
"The president has said that under
the public works program, foolish
things must not be done under the
guise of relief but where the pro
ject Is needed and at the same time
provides relief to the unemployed,
the approval of the people is required
as a preliminary to Its further con
sideration." Chairman Wilcox,- of the staW ad
visory board, says: 'This boaroj de
sires to serve the Interest of in 6
whole state and of the unemployed.
The terms proposed, embracing as
they do 30 per cent grant for cost
of material and labor and 70 per cent
loan of the entire project at 4 per
cent interest and up to 30 yca.s to
retire the loan, offer an opportunity
fcr worth while projects that will
never recur." Under this arrange
ment the government would give us
77,O00.00 outright and up to 30
years to repay the balance of $180,
000.00 at per cent Interest rate.
If we are to take advantage of this
opportunity, we, feel that this-Is the
project that the money should be
spent oh. Therefore the commission
feels duty bound that the proposi
tion should come before the people
for their rejection or approval and
will be guided by what they say.
In making the estimate it In hard
to get a definite price oil materials
on a rising market. Pipe has already
advanced 10 pen cent and 6dme com
panies are not quoting for future
date. However If these bonds are
voted, we will use only that portion
necessary to complete the work, fur
ther If we are not successful In, get
ting our application .through the
public works program on the 30 per
cent grant. 70 per cent liquidation
right, we will riot try to sell the
bonds on the open rnarket, but will
refer them bock to the people, at the
next election for cancellation,
There is no question but that
something will have to be done with
Beaver creek pipeline in the near fu
ture, unless It Is to be abandoned
The plans call for a larger pipe and
increased storage. The present pip
carries about two million gallons per
day, the proposed pipe four millions
gallons per day, also a reservoir pn
top of the mountain hear Morgan
lake similar to the one in bid Town.
This will regulate the water for power
as well as increase the supply few lm
mediate use. There are places In the
line that can be lowered with small
expense, that will increase the effic
iency of the -line and this will be
done.
It Is estimated by engineers that
sufficient power can be developed to
take -care of: the ornamental light
ing system, pumping at city wells,
sewage disposal plant,, lighting in. city
hall and library. We are now raising
by taxation $13,500.00 annually to
cover these Items. This amount of
power can 'be token over, without
going into too. much of an expendi
ture for distribution system, as the
city now owns the ornamental light
ing system, thereby making a sub
stantial saving on the present bill,
that can go towards the paying of
power plant and water system, with
out any increase In taxation. Of
course If the E. O. L. & P. Co. offers

now raising) by taimv.on to pay them,
which Is 18,O00.oo to 20,000.00 an
nually, It would be foolish to put the
power plant In and it would not be
done.'"
As to our right on Beaver breek.
In 1909 when the city decided to go
to Beaver creek for water, they made
application to approplate 7 cubic feet
per secon on Main Beover and 2 cubic
feet per second on West Beaver- (5,
400.000 gallons dally). This was
granted and approved by John K.
Lewis, state engineer at that tlri.e.
We also impound 200,000.000 gallons
In the storage resorvolr, Immediately
above the Intakes,
As to the quality of the water.
During our term In office the post
three years, there never has been any
blue-stone used In the storage 'reser
voir on Beaver creek to kill algae
and vegetable growth and we have
drawn on the storage water when
needed. During that period the state
board of health has made tests of the
water and have reported It "as A-l
water. In 1924 when the controversy
was on ovpn the wells, Mr. Wm. Barr.
engineer and chemist of the Union
Pacific system, at 'Omaha, vh0 Is an
authority on water problems, made
a visit to Beaver creek and looked
over our water supply in August and
made the statement that La Grande
had a very good water supply and It
would be folly to surrender It.
The city commission has given you
the facts as they see It about this
proposed bond issue for Improvement
to the water system and Installation
of power plant. We ask you to give
It your earnest thought and consid
eration. After doing this It Is our
expressed wish that eaeh and every
voter In the city go to the polls next
Friday, July 21 and vote, either lor
or against this bond : issue as you
