' History Traced While some
form of insurance against" the
risks of life and business has ex
isted since 3000, B. C, it is only
in comparatively recent years that
insurance has reached its present
highly specialized form, according
to Tom Morrow, claim supervisor
of " the Northern Life Insurance,
company of Seattle. Morrow spoke
to the Salem Kiwanis club yester
day noon. Fraud in insurance
companies, which rocked many of
the larger companies a few de
cades ago, was nothing new his
torically, Morrow said, for insur
ance was abilished in the days of
Julius Caesar since its promoters
converted assets to their own use.

PUMPING STITIOII
TO GETIH ROOF
Van Patten Seeks to Avoid
Damage to Equipment;
Other Changes Eyed
Manager Cuyler Van Patten will
not run the risk of rain damaging
water department equipment in
the main pumping station he indi
cated yesterday in setting a crew
of men at the task of reroofing
the structure. The private water
company, which allowed the roof
to deteriorate to the point where
daylight showed through numer
ous cracks, had stretched tarpau
lins over important equipment
such as the high voltage electric
switch boards. A . few drops of
water reaching these switches and
cables could have caused a verita
ble explosion that might have re
sulted in serious consequences,
Van Patten said recently.
Among other changes, Van Pat
ten also is looking for a buyer for
the 120 horsepower steam engine
used many years ago to drive one
of the big pumps, and its two
boilers. None of these pieces., of
equipment has been used for sev
eral years. Van Patten hopes to
sell them for at least enough to
pay the moving charges and make
storage room for equipment and
space for the meter testing depart
ment. The city council Monday night
gave the water commission spe
cial permission to build a corru
gated iron garage at the rear of
the water offices to house the
department's four trucks and one
sedan, which now are kept at
nights in rented garage space. The
new garage would save $25 a
month rental charges.
So that the water department
may continue to buy gasoline at
wholesale rates, a storage tank
and pump are soon to be install
ed. At present the water depart
ment is buying gas from the
city's pump behind the city hall.
Needed Slash in
Budget is Not so
Great, Revealed
A rechecking of budget items
tentatively agreed upon by the
city budget committee Monday
night revealed yesterday the com
mitteemen had exceeded the
amount permissable under the 6
per cent limitation by $1239.28
instead of by $6000 as it at first
appeared. Demands at the next
meeting, September 3, however,
will still force the committee to
do considerable juggling of the
various items to bring the hud
get within the legal limit and yet
provide necessary appropriations.
The committee Monday night
appropriated $231,769.70 for op
erating expenses, of which ap
proximately $20,000 will be paid
from estimated receipts for the
year 193 6. This leaves the appro
priation to be raised by taxation
at $211,769.70 while the total per
mitted under the state budget law
is $210,530.42. The latter amount
consists of the 1935 operating
expense tax plus 6 per cent.
Honors Extradition Governor
Martin Tuesday authorized the ex
tradition of Dane Stockton, who
is wanted in Stevens county, Kan.,
on a charge of first degree rob
bery. He is under arrest at Med
ford. Harden Back Soon Justice of
the Peace Miller Hayden will be
in Salem to hold court again Mon
day, August 26. Judge Hayden

bruises, was reported as improved

Going, Return
That Mrs. Claudia Benson of the
Salem branchy Oregon State Mo
tor association, has eclipsed tbe
Dionne Quintuplets as a wonder
of nature, was the thought ex
pressed by one bewildered motor
ist at the California Pacific In
ternational Exposition recently.
Calling at the Salem office for
maps and road information to San
Diego, prior to Mrs. Benson's has
ty departure to the fair city, she
outlined a trip via the valley
route for him.
To secure information about a
different route back north, the
gentleman sought advice from the
Shell Travel Information building,
where Mrs. Benson is now head
quartered. Imagine his surprise
when he was confronted by the
same smiling young woman who
routed him there.
"For gosh sakes, are you
twins?" was the remark, and,
upon leaving he added, "I'm go
ing to New York on my vacation
next year. I'll look you up when
I get there."
