SEVENTY-SEVENTH.YEAR SALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1927 , PRICE FIVE CENTS Lffl vf ejLLj ALL IIPQR MEASURES Extensive Civic Development Program Made Possible by; People's Decision; Bond Issues for Bridges and Sewers Approved; Resi dence Qualification Repeal Only Measure Defeated Here All important measures proposed by the Salem city council carried decisively in the special election Tuesday, the people's decision making possible an extensive civic development pro gram which was a part of the present administration's pro gram when it took office. These measures included the $500,000 bond issue for im provement, extension and reconstruction of the city's drain age and sanitary' sewer system, the $350,000 issue for con structing permanent bridges to replace present unsafe struc tures, and to erect some new ones; and the $40,000 issue for construction of an incinerator or garbage disposal plant. Of almost equal importance were the two taxation meas ures, which were also given substantial majorities. These were of two mills each as a maximum; one for repairing streets, bridges, crosswalks, etc., and the other making pos sible the establishing of fire stations in North Salem, East Sajem and South Salem, and the installation of a 50-box alarm system. Only one measure lost that which sought to remove the residence qualification of three years for election or appoint ment to city offices. The measure providing for assessing the cost of construction, or repair of sidewalks to the abutting property, met with little opposition. The measure calling for the inclusion of certain territory in Northeast Salem within the city limits also carried de cisively? ' The incinerator bond issue is O ; the one which probably will please the people of Salem most in hav- ig passed, as the need f for it has ten talked here for ears, and e city council has been in a deep quandary -a to what to do with the garbage, every proposed site for a city dump meeting with op li.nition and bitter opposition liom people living -or having busi ness interests in that particular locality. The council's committee on drainage and sewers recently an nounced that Its first step in con nection with the plan for remedy ing the drainage conditions would 1 e to employ competent engineers to make a complete survey, and that it would he guided by the- recommendations which these en gineers might make. It was noticeable that the Rich mond district, which a week ago v. as reported to 'be opposed to these issues, voted for them with a majority comparable to that in other parts of the city..

While ,the spokesman for the American Cherry Growers' com plained of increasing competition from Italy which they said was shutting the western product out of the eastern American Marasch ino market, those opposed to the tariff increase, told the commis sion that western cherries were too large and too juicy for Mar aschino nse, and that a small, firm cherry, such as grown in Italy was preferred.- The Pacific toast representa tives argued ,hat.. Italy had the advantage of cheaper labor and transportation f-to New York, and estimated that Maraschino cherry imports from Italy were approx imately 1J million, pounds annu ally. ; They want the , 2 cents a pound duty increased to three cents, the' maximum permitted under .the flexible provisions of the tariff law.
