PLANS BEING PREPARED
THE 3IOKMNG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY,
Start on Work of Obtaining Xew
Conduit From Bull Run Is
Also Proposed.
Flans for improvements to the Port
land water system, estimated to cost
in excess of 500,000. are being pre
pared under the direction of Fred
Randlett. chief engineer of the water
bureau. In addition to these Improve
ments, which it is planned to com
plete during the present year. Mr.
Randlett contemplates obtaining au
thority to survey a right of way for
a new conduit from Bull Run to
Portland.
The principal proposed improvement
will be the removal of the present
steel standplpe in the Vernon district
to St. Johns and the erection of a con
crete or steel combination standplpe
to replace the old Vernon storage
tank.
The new standplpe will cost ap
proximately J.30,000, according to
tentative plans. Xo definite decision
has yet been reached on the type of
standplpe to be constructed.' but
. within two weeks it is expected that
this point will be settled and the
council will be asked to authorize the
awarding of contracts.
Pipe Already Purchased.
The water bureau has purchased
S75 tons of cast-iron pipe to be in
stalled in streets throughout the city
which are to be hard-surfaced
during the summer. It may be neces
- sary to purchase additional pipe for
this work, although this can not be
ascertained until the complete pav
ing programme has been decided upon.
Although Engineer Randlett does
r.ot expect to obtain authorization for
the construction of the additional con
duit this year, he is eager to have the
preliminary work done so that his
force may be ready to go forward
with the work in 1931.
Under present conditions the two
conduits which carry the water sup
ply to Portland have a capacity which
during the summer months leaves
only a small reserve above the maxi
mum water demand. For this reason
neither pipe line can be closed dur
ing the summer months for repairs.
Anticipating further growth of the
city. Mr. Randlett is certain that Port
land must have the third conduit not
later than five years hence.
Start of Work la Urged.
Inasmuch as it Is estimated that it
will take two years to prepare plans
and acquire the right of way, and an
other two years to construct the line.
Engineer Randlett recommends the
inauguration of the work this year.
Plans are also being made for a new
headworks near the location of the
present headworks, some 30 miles dis
tant from Portland. The present
headworks is said to be inadequate
and it ,1s probable that some move
will be made next year to obtain au
thority to construct a new one.
Under the direction of C. E. Oliver,
assistant engineer, the work of mak
ing a permanent storage lake of Bull
Run lake probably will be completed
this summer. This work includes the
construction of a huge dam and the
filling in of places in the lake where,
heretofore, the surplus w.-.ter has
Beeped out.
All the field work in the water
bureau to be accomplished this year
will be in charge of Ben Morrow, as
sistant water engineer, who has re
sumed his position in the water bu
reau after more than two years' serv
ice overseas. ,

Vegetole is popular with housewives because it mixes up rapidly,
easily and evenly makes delicious, flaky and economical pastry.
Vegetole adds no flavor of its own, but rather intensifies the natural flavor of foods. Foods
shortened with this pure, white vegetable product are easily digested because it melts at
a temperature lower than body temperature. It is therefore wholesome and economical.
fau&d Oiis equally esteemed by particular cooks because it makes foods more palatable
and tasty. This pure vegetable oil, of clear, amber color an ail-American product is
delicious in salads, dressings, sauces and gravies and is an. excellent deep frying medium.
