Problem's Solution

Evidence that abatement of tbe
cinder, nnisancei ;is; entirely prac
ticable, to contained in the report
of Prof. R. B. Boals of Oregon
State college following his recent
surrey of the cinder problem in
Salem. .
The report says in part:
"No tests were made at the
Portland Electric Power com
pany's plant because ol the fact
that it Is equipped with cinder
removal apparatus, which has
been installed for some time. The
equipment consists of an induced
draft fan and a cyclone which is
guaranteed to remove 95 per cent
of tbe solid material from the
stack gases.
Problem Solved At
Haason Pan leg Mill
The boiler at the Hanson
plaining .mill is of smaH horse
power and consumes about three
loads ef fuel per -day. Their
stack is provided with a screen
for the removal of cinders. It is
their practice to shake the screen
daily to remove the cinder accum
ulation. During this operation the
cinders fall on thj boiler room
roof or within the stack.
"Equipment is provided for
wetting down 'very fine dry fuel
to prevent the discharge of black
smoke which would otherwise- re
sult from its use. Few cinders
were in evidence on the lumber
piles about the mill, on the roof
of the mill buildings, or on the
tamber piles adjacent to the
liiler room.

Controls Situation
"The Lincoln street station of
the Northwest Electric company
in Portland has Installed cinder
cones in connectlon with all their
boilers. They have three cones
connected to six 800 h. p. boilers
and one cone on a 1000 h. p.
boiler.
"The cones were installed be
cause of- the cinder, nnjsance
which existed prior to that time.
The boiler capacity was greatly in:
creased by the induced draft fan

PARIS. May 6 (AP) The

tonight is favor of the proposal of
Owen D.Young for the final set

The French and the Belgians

Thomas W. Lamont tonight ex

cess for Mr. Young's compromise
measure in tnese terms:
"It would be foolish to minim
ize the importance of Saturday's
development and it would be rash
to count on it as assuring final
agreement."
Although an agreement was re
garded tonight as dependent upon
the attitude of the French and
Belgian experts, it is understood
thaf British adherence to thepro-
Ject was made under conditions.
Great Britain insisted that there
should be no change in the per
centage fixed by spa, Belgium,
Jnst after the war, for the distri
bution of reparations among the
creditors, granting S2 per cent of
France, 22 per cent to Great Bri
tain, 10 per cent to Italy, 8 per
cent to Belgium and the rest to
the other creditors in small Items.
This attitude seems to point to
further , .difficulties negotiations
between the creditor nations even
if the French and Belgians are
willing to accept Mr. Young's fig
ures.

Marion County Health Unit
Issues Report After In
spection in Salem
Announcement of the grades of
milk being delivered by the var
ious dairies for the first quarter
of this year has been made by the
Marion county health TonlC Grades
are determined according to the
provision of the local milk ordi
nance and are based on three
items: (1) The average bacterial
count, (2) the average tempera
ture of the milk as it is being de
livered, and (3) the compliance
with provisions of the ordinance
by the distributor with regard to
equipment and methods of handl
ing the milk before it reaches the
consumer.
Any dairy which has qualified
for grade A milk, either raw or
pasteurized, is producing milk of
satisfactory average quality. At
present no grade B raw milk is
being produced since all raw milk
distributors have qualified in. the
higher grade. The ordinance al
lows only one grade of pasteurized
milk grade A, which is the best
grade.
It Is recommended that consum- i
ers purchase milk on the basis of
grade as the grade shown on the
caps will indicate the quality of
the supply. All dairies which have
attained the requirements have
been authorized to use the grade
A caps. One or two dairies, how.
ever, have not been using snch
caps,- because, although ordered,
they have not been delivered.
Below are listed the names of
distributors and the grades of milk
produced :

CITY BUS LINES

Council Hears Proposal to
Change Espee Rights on
Streets of Salem
Ordinance Passes First and
Second Readings Without
Any Discussion
The ordinance providing for a
new franchise for the operation of
street buses in Salem, rumors of
which have been afloat for some
weeks, made it appearance at the
meeting of the city council Mon
day. After receiving first and
second reading it was referred to
the ordinance committee for study
and report to the council at a fu
ture meeting. The ordinance
which was finally presented had
some of the teeth pulled which
had made a previous draft objec
tionable in the eyes of some peo
ple. Members of council said it
would be carefully studied before
being put to a vote.
Exclusive Feature'
Im Chief Charge
The main change from present
franchises held by the Southern
Pacific Motor Transport company
is that it gives to this company
the exclusive franchise for supply
ing bus transportation in this city.
At the present "time the franchise
Is not exclusive and a competing
line is operated on one run. The
S. P. disclaims any purpose to put
this line out of business. Super
intendent . Billingsley states that
he has an option to purchase this
line on terms which are agreeable
to both parties. He does not want
to make the purchase unless his
franchise becomes exclusive, be
cause in the future any number of
Jitney lines might spring up with
the purpose of selling out te the
big operator, the S. P. company,
on the basis of their nuisatfe
value if nothing else.
Another change made by the
new ordinance is that the fran
chise is for ten years,' while the
present franchise has 18 years yet
to run.
Routes Changed Little
Under Sew Roles
The bus company binds Itself to
perform regular ervice on the
routes substantially identical to
the ones now followed, and in case
it should fall to do bo, the city of
Salem can collect $25. a day for
each day's failure to operate; and
after twenty such days can declare
the franchise forfeited.

Transport company does not in

council the right to order lnstal-
