Settlement of two notes to

Woodburn by C. J. Espy was
agreed upon in circuit court here
this week.
Under the arrangement, ap
proved by the state banking de
partment. Espy turns over 32
shares of the Espy Estate com
pany's stock to the bank, turns
over his house in Woodburn
which is subject to a $2350 mort
gage and turns over a lot in
Portland.
The court order shows that
Espy, who was cashier of the
First National Bank of Wood
burn until February 1, 1932,
when the bank was merged with
the Bank of Woodburn, lost all
of the half-ownership of that
bank when the merger was made
since no value was given to the
stock In the consolidation.
He then put up the $10,500
of his own notes to take out ad
ditional questioned assets In the

order, it is pointed out that Espy
personally received no funds from
the $10,500 in notes.
The Espy estate owns various

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.

Government Aid
Again Promised
To W. U. Students
Federal relief funds' are again

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

One Board Takes
Offered Contract
The Scotts Mills high school
district yesterday accepted a tui

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

ments, however, will be awarded.
A number of districts are hold

Steady liquidation of bonds held
by the state banking department
for the accounts of the many state
banks in liquidation, was reported
at the statehouse yesterday.
Strength in the municipal bond
market the last 6ix months has
enabled the department to sell, at
favorable prices, almost its entire
holdings In municipals. Bonds
which two years ago were quoted
at 70 per ent of par with few
buyers, now command 95 cents on
the dollar plus accrued Interest.
The growth of idle bank depos
its together with Increases In pri
vate funds due to federal refinanc
ing of farm and home mortgages
is reported to hare greatly
strengthened the municipal mar
ket, along with the steady pace
many Oregon cities have main
tained in liquidating their out
standing obligations.
The bulk of the bonds still held
by the banking department are of
foreign countries or of domestic
industrial concerns whose obliga
tions are In default or for whose
securities there is no listing.
NAMES CONFUSED
John H. Callaghan, manager of
Belcrest Memorial park with
downtown offices in the First Na
tional Bank building, is still at
the same job. In the same place.
There has been some confusion
over recent announcement that
J. R. Callahan, formerly of the
corporation commission here, bad
gone to Portland to open a law
office. Similarity of names led
some to mistake Callahan for the
Belcrest manager, Callaghan.
