Stock Voiding
Defendant in By-Product
Firm Case Makes Plea .
for Judgment
Asserting he had been fraudu
lently induced to buy five shares
of stock in the Salem, By-Products
company for S500 last February,
F. T. Glaser, one of the defend
ants In the receivership complaint
filed against the corporation, by
M .T. Moisan, yesterday demanded
in circuit court that he have judg
ment for the money paid in and
that the stock be canceled.
False representations by which
he was led to buy his Interest in
the concern Glaser's answer al
leges, were that his $500 would
enable the plant to go into opera
tion, that stockholders would re
ceive large returns and that
grounds, buildings, equipment and
good will bought by the corpora
tion from P. N. Kurth, another
defendant, were worth $13,000.
All income was in fact required to
pay off existing and prospective
indebtedness and the purchases
from Kurth were actually worth
no more than $3750, part of the
equipment involved was subject to
mechanics'' and material men's
liens, and the good will was
worthless, the answer further de
clares.
The company failed to keep an
agreement to buy a motor, cooker
and grinder from Glaser for $435,
he alleges.

As Test of Wells
Pumping tests to ascertain if
Salem's city water supply on Stay.

sort to shallow wells were begun

Patten reported. Seren test holes
drilled recently showed it prob
able that a large volume of water
might be secured at levels lower
than those tapped by the under
ground filtration system which
produced approximately 7,000,000
gallons -,a day during last sum-
trier's dry period.
-At least three and probably
four of the test holes will be
pumped steadily for 43 hours be
fore any conclusions are drawn
definitely as to the feasibility ot
the well plan of increasing the
water supply, Manager VanPatten
said?
. JThe. water commission voted to
experiment with wells on the isl

end operation would be less ex
pensive than the first and contin
uing costs of a mechanical filter
plant to treat water taken direct
ly from, the North Santiam river.
