from this district that Is now can
ing for relief. If was not then
onsldered good ; ground for ad
ditions, but one addition after an
other was platted ' and sold and
has" now developed into a very at
tractive community of homes.
Maay possess very excellent gar
den soil.
"I recite this to show that this
annual overflow is no new thing.
n fact, many have argued that
what is now the Santiam river bad
found Its way through this gap.
"Now, why go east of the city
limits to find a solution? The city
of Salem has taken in these ad
ditions without; making a survey
to find proper canals to take can
of the annual overflow. The peo
ple have platted the district with
streets and alleys, and the city has
not held a right of way for at
least two canals needed to carry
this water.
"I use the term canals, for none
familiar with the conditions would
suggest storm sewers. Storm sew
ers are only practical to take care
of water falling in the immediate
limits; but here we have two dis
tinct water shed districts, one this
s'de of the gap at Turner, and a
larger one east of Turner that ex
tends over" territory six to eight
miles wide by 20 miles long. So
why dwell on storm sewers?
'Now come with me to the South
Cottage street bridge; what .Is
known as the Bush bridge. Look
ing west, we 'have the High street
bridge In sight: a narrow gorge
through which all of this water
must find its way to the river.
"Looking east, we have tbe three
channels that lead out into - the
troubled district, apd afford the
only source of relief available. It
Is at this point that a large steam
dredge could be placed to open up
at least two canals 50 to 100 feet
wide each, after a right of way
had been secured. At an early
day a branch that we will call
tho north branch tarried a very
large volume of water, but both
inside the city limits and outside
dikes have diverted must of its
natural supply, so that all of the
bridges crossing this stream are
permanent and small, so that the
center channel and the south chan
nel are the only outlets available.
"Let's consider the central
channel. The Winter street bridge
is out of repair, caused by flood
waters some years ago, and should
not be rebuilt as a permanent
sirncture till this question is set
tied. "Going east to Twelfth street,
1-ere another bridge or spun coul
be put in, fully as wide as the one
now there: then going east under
the Southern Pacific railroad to
the deep cut in the old Turner
road, thence straight to the city
limits, and here-- diverge wAtb
smaller excavations right and left
"In the opening of the jlouth
streams there will be more resist
ance to, get right or way. There
is less depth to the present ditch.'
Then comes Mission street, : up
through Bush's field to the trou
bled point on to"TweIfth street,
where the outlet should be about
100 feet wide: on east; crossing
13th street, then on. east through
the lowest land to beyond the city
limits -
"And you hare solved tbe prob
lem, and the people living in this
district will have permanent re
lief. '
"But where Is the money Who
Will pay for all thU? Well, the
answer Is to be bad In tbe near
or distant future.
"Now I have had ray say, and
hope I have made my.self under
stood that I am not knocking any
project ; but I want to say that all
ibis talk about surveying the acre
age property s-nis silly to me,
when 1 stand on the Bush bridge
and see and know that here is the
only outlet, and tbe three streams
as natural channels point tho way
to get the water to the central
point. All that is lacking now
is capacity. As it now is. the
water spreads and part comes
overland, through door yards and
sidewalks after the basements aie
all full
"But it all gets out under the
Cottage street bridge just the
ame, simply because water flows
to the lowest point; always has,
and always will.
"So let's be sane ard begin at
the lowest point and open up a
right of way."
