Bond Sale for
Sewers Needed
For More Work
Work oa sewer construction
will be at a standstill in Salem
after January X and when ft Is
resumed careful check will be
: made of men working to see that
they are employes who are really
in need of the work. One of the
counellmen expressed the opinion
yesterday that a number of the
employes this fall had been good
v workers but not me-n who were
urgently In need of employment.
Nearly $50,000 of work on
sewers has been done under war
rant payment, and to retire these
warrants additional bonds will
need to be Issued. Of the $500,
00 issue authorised by the peo
ple, $400,000 hare been sold. Of
the bonds remaining, authorized
but unsold, the first $50,000 ap
proximately will go 'to pay for
- work already done. Further work
. on sewers this winter must come
from additional bond sales.
