A joint meeting of the 'public
utilities committee of the city
council with the Salem water com
mission today or Saturday will be
followed by the committee's re
port to the city council Monday
night on the appraisal submitted
Thursday by Baar and Cunning
ham, placing a value of $875,000
on the local plant of the Oregon
Washington Water Service com
pany. Dr. O. A. Olson, chairman of the
utilities committee, notified the
other members, Hal D. Patton
and Chris. Kowitz yesterday that
he would summon them together
with the water commission into a
conference.
"My judgment is that the coun
cil will accept the appraisal as
made by Baar and Cunningham
and submit this or nearly this fig
ure to the water company as the
city's offer for the plant," said
F. N. Derby, chairman of the wa
ter commission, last night.

Officially Treated
"While "the commission has no
official function until the plant is
actually acquired, it has been ask
ed to attend the discussion on the
appraisal." Derby added. "In my
opinion it will lead to condemna
tion proceedings.
"I do not feel that the water
company, will accept the figure
made in the Baar and Cunning
ham report.
"The result will be extended
litigation. One of the things we
must first consider is whether or
not we want the existing plant. In
view of the alternative water sys
tems outlined in the report, this
matter of city policy must be
agreed upon," said Derby.
Yesterday J. T. Delaney, dis
trict manager for the Oregon
Washington Water Service com
pany was out of the city and could
not be reached for a statement on
the appraisal submitted.

(AP) A furore was ereated
here today by the burning of a
barn belonging to James Smith,
emproye of mine No. 1, of the
Ross Coal Co., and by reports
that an airplane had fired it by
dropping a blazing torch.
Smith was one of a number of
men who worked at the mine yes
terday despite warnings of pick
ets of the striking miners. The
barn was believed to have been
fired in retaliation. Neither Sher
iff C. E. Barnett nor John Ross,
president of the company, was
willing, however, to beliete def
initely that the plane fired the
barn.
The theory that the plane
heard sailing over the Ross mine
and later over the barn might
have been simply lost and. that
the pilot dropped flares to find
his way and accidentally fired
the barn, was a'dvanced.
The Ross mine No. 1 was clos

One man Injured; Tear
Bombs Brought Into
Play by Officers
CLEVELAND, Oct. 2.
(AP) A parade of com
munists, estimated by polk
to number 600, was broken
up here tonight when it at
tempted to break away from
a police escort and head for
public hall, where President
Hoover was addressing th
annual convention of th
American Bankers' associa
tion. Mounted and motorcycle
officers threw tear jras
bombs into the ranks of the
demonstrators and policemen
used their clubs before the short
lived demonstration was broken
up.
James Kehoe, a fireman on
traffic duty, was slugged and
taken to a hospital, possibly in
serious condition. Several other
persons were reported victimn of
clubs or fists, but none was be
lieved badly hurt. Three women
were knocked down by the rush.
One youth was arrested.
The disturbance began after
the parade had been led past the
corner of East Sixth street and
St. Clair avenue N. E., where the
auditorium is situated. When
the police escort had marshaled
the demonstrators east on St.
Clair to East 12th street, the
marchers moved as if to bolt
and return to the hall, poiire
said. '
Tear Bombs Tossed
As Line Threatened
Mounted officers blocked their
path and as the demonstrators
pressed against their line, tfcy
wielded clubs and tossed tear
gaj bombs. Other officers rede
motorcycles and horses into tke
marchers' ranks.
The paraders quickly seal
tered, breaking windows as they
went. Banners which they had
carried and dropped as the mill
ing started, were reclaimed ami
held aloft by the scattered dem
onstrators. They did not attempt
to form into line again.
Many of the banners de
nounced Hoover and capitalism.
As they marched along with
their banners they sang "The In
ternationale," "Madamoiselle
From Armentieres," and "Hail,
Hall, the Gang's all Here."
After the marchers were dis
persed they returned to Publlo
Square, where the line of march
formed and listened to impromp
tu orations. Police said the
demonstration was organised
several days ago and they tr
prepared for it.
