Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWELVE The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Mornin?, Jane 12, 1932 Statesman Proposes Water ' Project Plan to 6ive Work to Idle men" . (Continued from pas .1) mblo to pay. It is sdYisablo to boy the dlstrlbattag system so as to apply Its earnings as Quickly as possible to cover Interest charge on the bond issue, in ease 01 in ability to deal the city could con slder the construction of an inde pendent system; bat we do not belifrTe that would be necessary, Cost Would Not be Orrr Two Millions Such are the board outlines of the proposal which The Statesman lays before the people of the com mnnity, bollerlng that It offers a feasible plan for solving the press ing problems of relief next winter and also carrying out tne man' date of the people as expressed in the election. The Statesman op posed the original bond Issue, and bas not changed Its opinion re garding the lack of wisdom In spending fl500.000 for a water plant here. But the people voted it, and the last city election was In effect a reaffirmation of that verdict since both candidates lor mayor endorsed ' "mountain wa ter". Moreover it does not now seem necessary to spend more than $2,000,000 to provide such a gravity system, in view of the recent declines In construction costs. Carrying out the program, Jf it Is judged to be sound, hinges on validation of the charter amend ment (or its subsequent reenact meat) ; adoption ot measures such as the Hawley bill; and accept ance- of the application of the city of Salem for the funds. Failure to surmount these several obsta cles would, of course be fatal to the" planT What are the advantages ot the proposal outlined?. First, it would provide em ployment and give worthy men worth-while Job. The work would need to be rushed. It is not -Just a -maxe work", pro position. There must be efficiency and economy in spending the money. That is why the contract system is absolntely necessary orj ine costs mignt run away witn the deal. Second it takes advantage of present low costs ot labor and materials. One reason why speed is so urgent is that these levels will not last indefinitely. At any day now we may see stiffening of prices for steel and lumber ana cement, n . we wan a lew years It wilt probably take all the S2.500.000 to do the job. Taking the Baar and Cunlng- ham estimates on the construc tion work and reducing them 15 per cent which may or may not be reasonable we would have the following: Rigut of ray, clearing and pipe line 804,100 6 million gallon city - reservoir 51,000 tne total eost would be fl.SvOv 000. Now it this money ess be bor rowed at. per cent .interest the capital charge would come or nearly come without the carrying capacity of the plant as now op-; rated. Using the 1130 figures: of' the compan: the operating state ment would appear about as foU lows: Operating income . .1171,286.63 Operating expense, de ducting pumping 'charge but adding pipeline mainten ance and opera tion 6S.S76.08 $ 855,100 Pdsslble cost of pres ent dlatributlnr sys tem 850,000 Total 11,705,100 This would not Include a 20 million gallon reservoir in Waldo hills estimated to cost $181,500 tor the reason that It is not im mediately necessary. The Willam ette intake could be used as stand by plant In case of pipeline difficulty. Also it does not allow tnr rioafrahlA imnrreff Am pnta to tbft distributing system. If $94,900 be reserved for this purpose then Gross income ....$115,910.55 Annual 'interest charee 85.500.00 Net after charges . . 80,410.55 This is without allowance lor depreciation, tor additions and betterments, for bond retirement, or for taxes in lieu of those now paid by the private company. It may be necessary to increase wa tr ratea to take care of those items. The growth ot the city however may be rapid enougn to provide increases in earnings to retie the bonds over a 1 5-year tftrm. Taklnr advantage of present low building costs, and procur? Inr thai monev on a comparatively low rate of Interest, it thus may be possible to obtain a gravity KTKtAm on a eanital investment lower than was dreamed or. ur u further Investigation convinced the cititens that the santiam pro ject Is not feasible ana mey should fall back on the Willam ette supply, the city could pro ceed to confer similar oeneiiis on Itself and tne unemployed by completing a' new intake, filter plant and reservoir. The other proposal advanced by The Statesman Is that organis ed effort be put forth to save foodstuffs that will otherwise go to waste this summer. Creating a working organization under the 111 RUSTEES .Ti REVEAL STAND Not Interested in Plan of Merging State College And University (Continued from pas 1) and A." A.

Lam bert, one time president ot the university, was noted and appro priate resolutions were ordered drawn np. MSSPELLED W N Willi IE TOLD auspices of the Red Cross as in war time, berries and fruits and vegetables could be harvested by young people who would gladly donate a few days ot work to the cause. Undoubtedly some lo cal cannery would allow the use of its facilities for canning or packing the products and they could then be. stored for distri bution as needed this winter. Last year some of the Lower Columbia river points put up canned sal mon on this plan. A deal might be made for exchange by the charity organizations ot some of our fruit and vegetable pack for their canned salmon. In thl work many of those who received aid should be enlisted to contri bute their labor in the cause. ... Those are the proposals em braced In this plan. They are offered for comment and criti cism. If practical then diligent ef fort should be made to promote them. Particularly should work be done with the congressional delegation to see that the relief bills &ra nrnnrlv nhrsant or wa I might be eliminated through a technicality.
