By Hendricks
The city of Salem accepts the

posal for arbitration to determine
what is a fair purchase price for
the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company's system here and
urges the PWA Immediately to ap
point the third arbiter, as it of
fered to do late last spring. The
city will appoint one arbiter and
the water company a second.
This word will be telegraphed
to PWA headquarters at Wash
ington, D. C, this morning by
Mayor Douglas McKay under di
rections issued by the city coun
cil last night.
Not a word was said by any of
the eight aldermen present last
night as to qualifications of the
PWA appointee. Previously the
arbitration plan had been turned
down. The watter company had
held out for having the third man
on the board a member of the
American Society of Civil Engi
neers; the council had balked at
the Idea.
Contradictory Moves
Made by Aldermen
The vote for arbitration was
preceded and succeeded by car
ried motions that were more or
less contradictory to it.
First, the council passed Alder

recting the utilities committee, the
mayor and the city attorney at
