Proposed Bond Issue Just
. Million Dollars High;

Santiam Project is Beyond
Salem Ability to pay
. On Present Basis
By C. A. SPRAGUE
In previous articles The States
man has pointed out that even
u sz.suo.ooo is expended lor a
water system with a 30-mile pipe
line to the Little North Fork of
the Santiam, this water would
still need to be chlorinated and
filtered to make it clear and safe
for nse. We have also shown that
the Willamette river offers a
large and satisfactory source and
given quotations from the official
document of a sanitary survey
made of the river. The only trouble-
with Salem's water supply has
not been that It is drawn from the
Willamette but lack of proper
filtration and treatment. All this
can be obtained and the water
system purchased with a bond is
sue of 11,500,000.
Blillion Reasons
For Opposing Plan
The Statesman has one million
reasons against the bond issue
and every one is a, dollar.
In other words our objection to
the bond proposal of $2,500,000
is that it is $1,000,000 too high
What Income and Expense Would

Estimated Income and Expenditures under Proposed Water
Project with Bond Issue of f 2,500,000
Based on 1030 Report of Oregon-Washington Water
Service Co. for its Salem plant, made to Pnblle Service Com
mission. Actual Income from operations, 1030. . . $179,286.03

made np by increased taxes on other property. . 24,217.35

Net Income 46,473.20
Interest on $2,500,000 at 5 125,000.00
Estimated DEFICIT after Interest and depreciation 78,52680
The estimate of operating expenses is determined as follows:
Actual expenses, 1930 $79,875.00
Deduct pumping charge, not required in gravity
system 26,008.02
Add Baar and Cunningham estimate of mainten
ance and operation of gravity pipe line

10,500.00
Total operating charges $63,376.08
Any compilation of earnings and expenses must be an es
timate which only actual operation would test. But the above
figures are taken from the report in the public service com
mission's office and from the Baar and Cunningham report.

Why should the Salem school
