The cost of such a system together with the present distribution plant is estimated at $2,170,000. i An alternative plan for the 10, 000.000-gallon mountain water system la provided! krr a mountain water system supplying IS, 000. 000 gallons dally. The total cost of such a system together with the cost oC acquiring- and Improving the present distribution system of the Oregon - Washington water Service company Is placed at $3,020,000. . ; Oppose Completion Of Filter System ! The report deals at some length with the incompleted filter plant or the present company. The Port land engineers say Its completion la untenable because the inlet Is' poorly located, because the loca tion of the 40-foot Inlet tower In the river has not been approved by TJ. S. engineers, because-Block it downtown where the treatment plant Is planned is a poor site and because the 6.000.000 gallons a day capacity of the proposed new filter Is inadequate for present de mand unless a large storage res ervoir were provided to equalize the flow. "' Apart from arguments against the completion of the projected filter plant of the Oregon-Wash ington Water Service company, the report does not make recom mendations either on the moun tain water system or the Willam ette river system. ;" I ' ; . The engineers discuss at length the advantages of municipal own ership of water utilities. They declare- that the "valid arguments against public ownership of rail roads, street railroads and other utilities have less weight in the case of waterworks." Labor costs are held to be a small item, a prosperous city is able to borrow money more cheaply, no , sales problems are presented In water distribution, and considerable sav ings in operation costs are pos sible without out-of-clty operating overhead. Baar es Cunningham declare In their report that the plant must be absolutely; self supporting, meeting all operating costs and providing - adequate, re serves, besides paying Interest and serves, nesiaes pari: Principal on bonds. Financial lteport To be Supplement Baar said last night he would supplement his. extended report with one dealing entirely with the financial structure of the propos ed systems. In this he indicated he would set up detailed items of in come and expense, list In detail cost of construction and provide the, needed facta regarding the business program of the plant. -In an extended schedule of the charges and income- on a 10,000,-000-galIon river "system, the en gineers estimated the plant would retire a $1,700,000 bond .issue over a 35-year period and at the same time pile up a surplus or $2,854,000 after paying all oper ating charges including interest. At th end of the 10th year the plant could be enlarged to 15r 000,000 gallons capacity under the table made by the engineers. The surplus made - each---year would .pay 'tor 'all additions -and equipment -without Issuance of new bonds, the engineers declare. In the 35-year, period waka the table covers', operation and main tenance expense totals" range from $03,250 the first year to $120. $80 the 35th year.' Bond retire ment and Interest range from $71,250 to $118,230 at the mail. I HOLLYWOOD; Home of M ; Talkies . I A HOME OWNED THEATRE JL . LAST TIMES TODATL . J . v Ulickey Mouse Matinee -, Saturday ?

Principal and Interest requirements are noticeably high er bat operation of the supply lino la markedly lower. Kstlmated the total cost at $2,500,000 mainte nance and" operation . charge range from $40,000 annually at the beginning of the system's op eratloa to $31,510 at the close of 25 years.

Revenue estimates are xae same as on the river system and surplus totals are estimated at $2,3(9.620 at the cloee of 35 years. OperaUnje Coat Figures Coinpareo One of the features of the Baar A Cunningham report Is a com parts on of operating costs- under private and municipal ownership.! Using 1927 figures of the present company as a basis, the report es timates that the city costs would bo $40,938 less for the-yean thaa the private company's after pay-! lnr the aama taxes. Chief among. the Items oT saving Is a "difference of $29,177 between an 8 vt cent charge allowed the private com pany on Its $887,090 of Invested capital and the city's 4 pet cent oa its Invested capital. The other principal earing which Baar 4t Cunningham de clare the city can make over pri vate ownership Is rn items ' now charged as general office aalariee. general office expense and miscel laneous general office ecpense. Total charges for these three Items plus regal expense- amount ed to $20,827 oa the part of the Oregon-Washington Water Serv ice company in 1927. Baar & Cun ningham think the city could . ban die for an outlay or ssosf or a having of $18,761. Items of opera tion and maintenance, distribution charges, commercial expense and depreciation are figured a the same amount whether the plant is city owned or owned privately. The report goes Into detail on sources of supply for Salem's wa ter system. The use of wells Is eliminated as Inadequate. i On the use of the Willamette river for a source of supply; the report states. In brief: "The river is an unquestioned source as to quantity. The quality of the water Is good except for pollution which has now reached a degree to make it unsafe for human consumption and corectlve treatment is neces sary. The Industrial wastes con tributed by Salem and the cities above present a most serious prob lem. ... Anaesthetic side, must also be considered. There is no question that the Willamette! riv er water, by means of filtration and possibly after-treatment,! can be made a sparkllngly clear, ! pol ished and absolutely sterile water supply, hut the very thought of drinking It Is repulsive. . ! Quality of Santlam ! Water I Excellent ' i On the subject of mountain! wa ter as a source for Salem's supply the report, in part, states: I - "The minimum recorded flow of the North Santlam at suitable diversion points la over 400 'sec ond feet, The quality of the water ia excellent and the pollution so slight thst simple clarlficatioa when the stream Is in flood and sterilization by light doses pro duce a supply of mountain water or the . first class at all time. Above Mehama the point of di vergence; the population i is sparse and the watershed' largely mountainous and heavily timber ed so that possibilities for agri cultural or Industrial development are very limited.
