Combined Sewage and
Drainage System Will :
Be BuiltFor This City
4 DETAILED statement describing Salem's sewer and drainage
system aa It will b after it is installed some two or three years
hence was made last week by Percy Capper of the local firm of
ipper, Simpson and Cooper. This firm has been employed by the
iy to draw up plans as authorized by the voters when they Toted
i00. Oft in bonds a year ago last Jnne.
It is the existence of these plans and the expectation of carrying
' iem out that is given by city officials as their reason for failure to
tend present sewer lines to a point where the sewage will be de
mited deep below the surface of running water.
Instead of connecting the new main trunk sewer line with the
treme west end of present lines, th enew system will Involve a trunk
le running north along Church
reet. Church street. Mr. Cup.
r explains, is the lowest street in
lem and is considerably below
e level of Water street, which
ns along the bank of the Will
jette river. At present the city's
-wer lines between Church street
d. the river are farther under,
ound than is the case anywhere
e tin the city. This would
-ceesitate digging an extremely
ep ditch if the new line were to
built near the river's edge.
Flow Dirrrtion Changed
Some of the present lines which
in between Church street and
e river will be used in the new
stem, the direction of flow be
g changed. Others will be re-
: jilt in part or in whole, j
One. of the main principles, of
; odern sewage systems. Mr. Cup
r states, has to do with the sep
ate handling of ordinary storm
ater from street gutters and
wnspouta of houses, and the
pure sewage that comes from
f houses themselves. The rea
n for this is the fact that sew
:e disposal plants are needed to
irify the household sewage he
re it is allowed to flow into the
ver, while rain water can be al
wed to flow directly into the
ream without treatment.

ing the winter. It was boiltUhis
summer. The Norway and Spruce
street sewers, north ' of Gaines,
are nnder process of construc
tion. Plans call for construction
of drainage of the section in
south Salem just north of Fair,
mount Rill by means of a aewer
line along Owens street.. Another
line along Superior street will
drain the area east of Fairmount
hill.
All of these sewers wOl lead di
rectly to the Willamette rirer at
the nearest available points. Since
they wiil carry nothing but storm
waters, there will be no particular
efort to see that their mouths are
under the surface of the river at
all seasons of the year.
The drainage question for this
city presents a problem closely
conected with that of sewage dis
posal. Situation Studied
After a study of the situation
all last winter, Mr. Cupper and
his associates determined what
what they regard as the most prac
ticable way to cope with the drain
ape situation. Under their plan,
which will largely go into effect
next winter. North Mill Creek
will continue to carry the maxi
mum flow which it has carried in
oast seasons. The overflow will
be taken care of by the ditches
nning along both sides of the
old Turner road, the Shelton
street ditch north of this road, and
Pringle Creek, which flows under
12th street near its east end and
joins the combined forces of the
other streams in the city auto
park after flowing through Bush's
pasture.
All these streams will be clean
ed and straightened to increase
their capacity. At the same time
a low dike will probably be built
( along 25th street at the eastern
edjce of Salem. This will turn
the water into the Shelton street
and Turner road ditches.
Mill Creek's Overflow
"As the situation is under pres
ent drainage conditions." Mr. Cup
per states, "high water every win
ter causes Mill Creek to overflow
just outside the city. It overflows
in a number of places, and .forms
a thin sheet of water. This Sheet,
remaining spread out. flows slow-

EUNGALOWS with an .English treat
ment are being developed aa an appeal
ing departure from the more ordinary
typesr which in many instances have become
more or less tiresome from their sameness.
The effect is decidedly
novel where the handling
is efficient, as this illustra
tion demonstrates. At first
glance it appears to be an
English type cottage, and
it is only when one gets
the full side view that its
real identity is disclosed.
In this, little home there
is a distinct relief from
the prevailing architec
tural lines of the bunga
low popularly associated
with California. While
this will please in many
cases, it will disappoint in
just as many others, for
there is an allegiance of
long standing to the porch,
inevitably to be found
with the American bunga
low, but in this type quite as impossible.
Many folk find the porch indispensible.
Other features of the plan, however, are
especially pleasing. The living room, with

ly over a considerable section of
the city. The southeastern sec
tion of Salem is usually affected
more than any other.
"The drainage system which
we have planned would turn this
sheet of water into the channels
that will be dug. Then Instead of
flowing across the city in a sheet,
it will flow in ditches and creeks."
If the plans which have been
drawn are carried through as an
ticipated, last winter will have
been the last time in the city's
history when Salem will be seri
ously inconvenienced by floor wa

Flat denial of published reports
that there existed any agreement
between himself and Thomas
CUre, Salem contractor, In con
nection with repairs to the aide
walks of this city was made by
Lane Morley in a statement is
sued late Saturday. In this he
was corroborated by Mr. Clare.
"It is not true that Mr. Clare
saw my books or had any informa
tion regarding sidewalk notices in
advance of other Salem contrac
tors," he said.
"The notices were served by
me in compliance with the law,"
he continued. "I am equally em
powered with John French to
serve these notices and I did my
duty.
"It is absurd to say that ten
days is too short a time in which
to allow property owners to re
pair faulty sidewalks. In most
instances covered by the 29 no
tices served small spots were
found which could be repaired at.
very small cost in a few minutes.
These were little holes and sinks
i in the concrete.
"One of the notices was served
upon George Putman, owner of
property at 269 North Liberty
street, where tree roots had bro
ken the sidewalk badly. This was
the worst place found. Mr. Put
man sent Harry Crane to my place
to look over the book, which is

spection. I don't know why, ae
I Already had served notice on Mr.
Putman.
"It is true that several contrac
tors have looked over the list but
Mr. Clare is not among them. He
has not been in my place since I
served the notices." .
Thomas Clare added the follow
ing in corroboration. "I have not
seen the sidewalk repair .notices
referred to and know nothing
about the report published. It is
untrue that Mr. Morley and I had
any working agreement about
them."
