1000 Feet Daily May Be
Laid After Crews Get
Beyond City Limit
Machine Digging Started
On Rural ; Care Taken
To Preserve Trees
Salem citizens will hare cold,
clear water from the new Stay ton
Island source to drink - by next
Labor day if the plans of the Sa
le m-Stay ton pipeline contractor
don't go wrong.
This was the word yesterday of
F. F. Jenkins, superintendent for
the American Concrete & Steel
Pipe company's J 6 47.985 contract
here.
"We are going to try to have
water for you by Labor day,"
Jenkins told a reporter. "We hope
to be laying 1000. feet of steel
pipe a day as soon as we get out
side the city limits. The concrete
part of the line will be done long
before the steel section is finish
ed." Irevious Estimate
Bets Date Later
Previous estimates had placed
the date for completion of the 17
mile pipeline at late In the fall or
possibly early next winter because
of d 1 a y s in steel shipments
caused by the maritime strike.
Machine digging was started
late yesterday for the steel line
on Rural avenue near Fairmount
reservoir. Forty-five 32-foot long
sections of 27-inch and 30-inch
steel pipe had ; been delivered at
the reservoir for laying as soon as
the trenches can be dug
At least one resident of Rural
avenue who had feared walnut
trees in the parking in front of
his home would be removed to
make way for the pipeline found
hope yesterday that the valuable
trees would be preserved.
Expert Advises On
Preserving Trees
- L. V, Benson, 1995 East Nob
Hill street, reported last night
that the pipe company appeared
"to be doing lis best to save the
trees." He Bald he understood a
tree expert had been engaged to
advise the diggers how best to
proceed. Hand labor is being em
ployed to excavate in the park
ings where trees stand in the way.
The pipeline trench across the
city on Rural avenue will be four
feet wide and from six to nine
feet deep, Jenkins said. The big
sections of pipe will be lowered to
blocks set in the trenches and
there Joints will be electrically
welded before the pipe is let down
to the bottom of the excavation.
The pipe In place will be three feet
below the ground surface.
Jenkins declared his firm would
"do everything possible to avoid
doing damage in the parkings."

Heavy Taxes Are

Take One-Third Business
Profits, 25 Per Cent
Individual Incomes
LONDON, April 20.-(-The
British government proposed to
day to collect up to one-third of
a businessman's new profits '.this
year and to levy a 25 per cent tax
on individual Income.
The taxes are necessary to meet
part of projected 17,500,000,000
expenditures for rearmament and
defense. Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Neville Chamberlain told
the house of commons. He pre
sented 1937-38 budget estimates.
.Labor opposition developed at
once. Maj. Clement R. Attlee
charged the budget was a "war
budget" which the labor party
would fight because "we are
marching straight into another
war" and because the budget "is
an expression of the foreign pol
icy which is ruining the world."
Chamberlain estimated the na
tion's 1937-38 revenue at 863,
100,000 pounds sterling and ex
penditures at 863,848,000 pounds
sterling, which would provide a
252,000 pound surplus. (In dol

penditures 84,314,240,000 sur
plus $1,260,000).
