Sunday, July 22, at 1:30 p. WO N Obituary I FILTER M E State Health Officer Says Salem Water Safe; Treat ment Works Poor Water delivered Salem residents by the Oregon-Washington Water Service corporation has "consist ently been found safe for domestic purposes," Frederick D. Strieker, state health officer, yesterday in formed Charles M. Thomas, util ities commissioner, who imme diately made the letter from Strieker public. The health offi cer added: "Times of unpleasant tasting water are apt to recur un til the present inadequate treat ment works are replaced with a modern plant." The letter followed a recent in spection of the water company's plant here, made at Thomas' re quest after new complaints against the quality of the local water had been made with him. Dr. Strieker's letter continues: "Our sanitary engineer was in Salem Thursday morning and in spected the water works of the Oregon-Washington Water Ser vice corporation. He found that the storage reservoir was, being cleaned preparatory to again be ing placed into service, the infil tration beds on Minto's Island were being reconditioned and that the distribution system had been thoroughly flushed out. Apparent ly the disagreeable taste present in the water for a number of days previous to this inspection had been largely eliminated. A check on the chlorine dosage at both Minto's Island and on the main land showed that sufficient chlor ine was being applied to render the water safe for use. "The Willamette river at this time is low and the weather of late has been warm; this combin ation of conditions no doubt pro moted an excessive growth of al gae in the river water. Most of this organic material has been re moved by the filtration beds but all of the offending substance cannot be removed without a modern purification plant. Chlor ine will often combine with or ganic substances to produce of fensive tastes even though the water may be bacterially safe for us. This may have happened at Sa lem. At present our laboratory is analyzing three samples from the Salem drinking water. As soon as the analyses are complete, we will advise you of the bacterial condi tion of the water. "In conclusion It may be said that if a modern water purifica tion plant were constructed to treat the Willamette river water at Salem, a safe and palatable wa ter could be produced at all times."

Very satisfactory progress -in paying off th debt incurred when the state, office bunding was constructed "here in 1929 is being made, hy the state treasur er, according to figures made available at his office yesterday. After the July payment of $15,000 had been made, the net debt against the building stood at $163,928. Of the $611,137 ori ginally spent for the building, $357,209 had been repaid. The last legislature reduced the semi-annual payments of principal and Interest from $60, 000 to $30,000. Even on this lowered scale, treasury officials foresee the liquidation of the debt in slightly more than five additional years. The building Is being entirely financed through rentals from the various departments using the new building and other state capltol office quarters. These rentals last year aggregated $52, 000. Funds for the building were advanced from the industrial ac cident commission's reserve funds and are being repaid to that fund with five per cent interest One reason the building debt is being liquidated so rapidly lies in an attorney general's opinion which set the first payment dates as of 1927. For nearly two years the state office building act was In litigation so more than two years' payments piled up before the first construction was done. TIX COLLECTOR L L. E. Neet, in charge of tax collection at the courthouse. Is making a thorough study of im proved methods In tax collection and accounting with the view of making decided betterments in the system which has been in use here for several decades. Neet has found that the pres ent system is cumbersome. As many as six books must be used, for example, in entering the pay ment of taxes for the year of 1929. Posting is difficult and ex pensive. Turnovers are less speedy than Is desirable considering that the majority of districts are pay ing six per cent on stamped war rants and that each day's delay in getting tax funds causes addi tional costs. Neet's Idea is to have a ledger sheet for each tax account where the cumulative charges and cre dits to the account could be placed. He would have a posting ma chine to record tax payments. Re ceipts would be issued on a ma chine which would automatically record a posting memorandum. A general ledger of taxes receiv able would be kept so a daily check could be made on taxes due but unpaid. Neet is making the study this Bummer as tax collections re cently have been extremely light. Compile Data on Criminal Cases A tabulation of all data dealing with criminal cases before the cir cuit court in this county during 1933 is in progress at the county clerk's office. The compilation of this data will be made for the de partment of commerce in Wash ington, bureau of the census, which will compile Its findings from each state, for the benefit and use of the department of jus tice. Data will be obtained on the number of criminal arraignments on the sentences received, of the paroles, of the fines Imposed and collected and of the costs to the county and state of the prosecu tions. The federal government expects to use the data In its "war" on crime. 18 Laborers Get Jobs on Warehouse The national reemployment of fice yesterday afternoon assigned 18 laborers to work on the new Larmer warehouse. The men will be divided into two shifts, the first shift to report to work Mon day morning. A similar number of men will be put on from the union labor office. It la under stood. A tew men were sent out yes terday to wood cutting and farm Job. Wood cutters get on an av erage of a dollar a card, though on the white fir jobs peelers have averaged 11.80 a cord. However, jobs in the white fir are no longer on the last, as the trees are too dry for peeling.

Students Federal relief funds' are again to bo available for Willamette university students In 1934-1935, Acting President Frank M. Erick son announced yesterday. In the coming year, the government will increase the percentage of stu dents aided from 10 to 12 per cent of the total enrollment. No students can obtain more than $20 a month federal aid and all funds must be paid out for use ful work. The university adminis tration will direct the work pro jects. Dr. Erlckson yesterday express ed pleasure over the news of the federal funds and said they would be very helpful In keep ing worthy students In school. Half of the aid funds received must go to new students. One Board Takes Offered Contract The Scotts Mills high school district yesterday accepted a tui tion contract with the Marion county board of education for non-high school districts for the 1934-1935 school year. This is the first district thus far to ac cept the contracts; the other 11 high schools in the county have the contracts under considera tion. The county board at Its last meeting decided to proffer con tracts which did not allow depre ciation as an item of cost. In terest on delinquent tuition pay ments, however, will be awarded. A number of districts are hold ing back on contracts until their school boards meet. FIXES TO COUNTIES Fines imposed for violation of the motor transportation act will go to the cbunty where they are assessed and collected, and not to the state treasurer, Attorney Gen eral Van Winkle ruled in an opin ion yesterday requested by the state tieasurer. The attorney general held that since no disposi tion of such fines collected was provided in the motor transporta tion act, the money would be dis posed of under the general law which reads that "fines and for feitures not specifically granted or otherwise appropriated by law, when recovered, shall be paid into the treasury of the proper coun ty."
