',rr AND IT WAS NOT ON A iBASIS OP, MOUNTAIN WATER FOR , ; . CORVALLIS. Corvallis Water Company , Pre sented it-The Albany- Bid v did not Materialize bnt . : Hogue wrote a Letter What the Bid ' '. : i -' is. ' The'-Corvallis city council had a lengthy Ibout with the water ques tion at a meeting Monday night. The njieeting was the tiuie for open ing bids in. answer to the recent advertisement for proposals to in 8tall a system on the basis of an ex tended franchise.-There, rwas no bid with mountain' watert ars the source tof supply.) ThereC' was , one bid on a 'Willamette rtver system. It was presented by the present water company. The C O. Hogue bid did not materialize, Iusteadfof a bid &tf , H tgue wrote the cotm-i cil a letier." It was rad ' ,to-tie counci! men by : the. police e j udge. It proceeded to inform the- council : that a mountain water system was impossible fori Corvallis,-. because too costly. It- figured out that only about 250 families could., ,be relied on as consumers.' It 'said that a revenue of about $12,000 would be necessary to . sustain a mountain water system. It sug gested that a system of the latter character would cost $100,000, mav be more. . It explained that no bid was made by Mr. Hogue for a Willamette river system because the capitalists from whom the money was' expected would not in vest on a basis ct less than six per cent Interest, and tnat ' tor vail is was eo smalt that a sufficient revenue to justify adequate re' turns an the investment did ' not seem to be assured. . The bid of the local water com, pany was ; presented by - W. B Chase, who appeared as engineer for the company. He presented 'a map of the proposed eyslem of piping in Corvallis. It comprised eight and six inch mains. He de clared it tolie a, very petfect sys tem, affording great nre protection, as good, he said, as they have in Portland. He figured the cost . of this system of piping at $20,000. His company, he said, would put ia such a system with Willamette water as the source of the supply, provided that the city would con tract to take 27 fire ' hydrants at $o6 a year for 25 years. The cost to thetjity would be $972 per year, or $81,. per month. The city also to pay, $8 per block for street sprinkling, sewers to be flushed twice per week without charge. No mention was made with j, reference to rates tor domestic usei 1 ne Did was. not made in writing, but' was verbally stated by Mr. Chase- ' It was referred to the special 'water committee fpr further consideration. Mr; Chase presented figures with reference to the cost of a gravity system with mountain water as the source of supply. He said . ' the computations he had made, were for the benefit of the local water company, and that they were taken from a report ho had made to them He declared the system to be too expensive for Corvallis at the ' pres ent time. He said the company would put in a mountain water system just as' soon as the income would justify, provided a contract be now made for a Willamette riv er s j stem. According to the figures of Mr. Chase a mountain , water system would cost about $98,00o, using redwood pipes for .the mains in town and for bringing water from the mountains. These pipes are made of redwood staves wound around with steel wire. The mak ers of them claim they will' last fifty years. MrK. Chase said he was-; sure they would last thirty years. They have only been in use fifteen years, and nobody knows, he said, how long- they will last. Cast iron pipe endures from forty to sixty years. It is the best. Next to it ia steel converse, and next to the latter, redwood. There is also a fir Btave piping much in use, which is cheaper than either. Mr. Chase's system proposed a reservoir, lined with cement on Baldy hill, west of Corvallis. '.Its height up the mountain, he said should be about 29 feet. Its cost would be $8,000. The piping from the reservoir into Corvallis, he said should be not less than 14 inches and ought to be 16. The distance he computed at three and a half miles. . He figured that 300,000 gallons per day would be consumed which be said, would supply 3,000 peoplo. The line from the moun tains to the reservoir, he said, would be eight miles in length. He said seven inch piping would be re quired, but that eight inch would be preferable. Ha said the deter ioration of the plant would be $3,000 per year? that the interest on the investment wouldbe $6,000 per, year: that three men would be re quired to run it at $1,500 per year The total revenues that he figured would be required to justify the construction sf such a plant is $13,500 per year- ' Mr. Chase argued for the ac ceptance by the council of the bid on a basis of Willamette river water. He felt sure, he said that as soon as the revenues would jus tify, the company would install a mountain water system. On this he largely based his argument, adding to it the further consider ation of the fine service in the way of fire protection that .would . be af forded by the proposed , extensions of the present pipe lines under.' the, new bid. . . Mr. Chase . expressed : a , willing-: ness to answer any questions, and a number were propounded by the councilmen. Dr. Farra w as also present, and made several state ments with reference to the pro posed contract. .:-:;., The only action taken by . the council was the reference , ;of . the whole matter to the special water committee. There were no ex pressions of opinion by any of the members. Nobody knows how tho matter stands with them. A pe tition had been circulated during the day asking the council to take no definite action at Monday night's . meeting. It was not, however, presented.. ,. 4 :.; ,:; Funeral of Alice Headrick. The funeral of Miss Alice Hed rick occurred from the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Bogue yesterday afternoon. The interment was in Crystal Lake cemetery. The obse quies were largely . attended by friends of the deceased and her family. .- ,V . - The death of Miss Hedrick oc curred Sunday morning after an illness that was not regained as se rious until the Monday preceding. Her ailment was peritonitis with complications, of an appendieical character. On Thursday and Fri day, her condition was .slightly more favorable, . but on Saturday morning . there. - were . alarming symptoms.. A consultation of phy sicians was held, and-Dr. Byrd of Salem, was summoned to perform an operation. . This was done late Saturday afternoon, but immedi ately afterward the. announcement was made that she could not sur vive.. Her . father and , brothers were at the bedside until the end. Two sisters, Mrs. May Prescott and MrB. Cora Rycraft arrived yester day from Moscow, and were pres ent at the funeral. The bereaved have, the sympathy of the entire community. Miss Hedrick was born in Benton county, and was 24 years of age. . . THE OLD IN CORVALLIS. A FBUnSI-lE GRVNTED FOR IJT , DEPENDENT TELEPHONE . . SYSTEM. " . "5 Attempt to be made, .to Introduce the Cheap Co-Operative Service Into Benton Every Coun ty Road Would be Traversed. The movement for promotion of an independent telephone line ia Corvallis and Benton county is tak ing sbape. At Monday night a meeting of the city council a fran chise was granted for extension of the wires in Corvallis. The grant ing was at the request of the com mittee appointed by the citizens League for promotion of the new telephone system. The committee is Z H. Davis, E. E, Wilson and W. E. Yates., The committee is in communication with persons in the movement in the other counties on the Westside, and expects within a a short time to have full : informa tion on the subject, :. The franchise- I that it was expected to secure for an independent line in the city of Portland was not obtained. Those, in the movement decided that for the present there was too much pol itics in the Portland atmosphere, and withdrew the petition for the franchise to be presented at a more auspicious opportunity." ' ' : In Benton, it is the plan1 to be gin the establishment of the sys tem in Corvallis, and then proceed with the extension of lines to the. adjoining country. It is' proposed to operate the system on a co-operative basis. Every subscriber: to the system will be a member of the association.. A membership fee . of $35, it is figured out by the com mittee, wilt purchase all telephone and build all lines. The fee give complete ownership to the subscrib er of his own telephone instrument and if he moves to another district he can take it along with him, and aitscn 10 any omer system uy merely providing for wire connec tions. The committee also figures) that a further fee of three dollars per year will pay the operating expen ses. The present cost for the ser vice is $12 per year and upwards. As soon as arrangements are all I complete, a subscription paper will be started out : to see how many Corvallisites are willing to join in the enterprise. The reception that is accorded it will largely determ ine the question of whether the new, cheap line is to succeed. ' ' Members of the committee have met people from the East who tell about how these independent lines are operated there. They say 11 a 1 J a1 1 u tua nueruvBi trieu, lue piau uu . been a complete success,' and that systems of the sort are being estab lished everywhere. ;'' : A Bargain.
