Sewage Plant Survey Slated i The i Salem engineering depart- rment will start preliminary work for Salem's proposed sewage dis posal plant about April 9 by mak ing a number of small reversals in present sewer lines. City En gineer J. H. Davis said Friday. The work, to be done in cooper ation with WPA, will cost between $7000 and $9000. , DavuV said itwas 'desirable to get portions of the sewer line work to be paid for exclusively by the city out of th way before the major portions of the job, for which -the state will i contribute 18 per cent of the cost, are started. He said such a procedure will avert' bookkeeping confusion which might result if two types of jobs were going on at the same time.

Realtors Hear Economic Talk An understanding of the funda mental changes occurring in Am erican economic life, in order to help control them and make cer tain that they Involve no loss of freedom or democracy, is the duty of every citizen, Dr. William C Jones of the Willamette univer sity economics department de dared in addressing the Salem Realty board at its Friday lunch eon. "Sine 1929 many of the econ omic principles which had been accepted for more than a century have had to be re-examined in the light of their apparent failure to function," Dr. Jones declared. "The law of supply and demand in relation to prices and wages and the theories with respect to the business cycle were found to be subject to modifying factors not previously recognized. "Because of the tendency to ward a partial monopoly now designated as "oligopoly" only one of several terms fairly new to economic thinking govern ment has, . for better or worse. deemed new controls necessary although this trend started with the interstate commerce commis sion before the turn of the cen tury," the speaker said.

'Come It's Free Pinball Ordinance Fight Nears Trial as Barber Aslcs Court For Pertaanenl .- City Attorney 'Cites Law in Answering Newest Move; Judge v Set Case Tuesday for The Salem city ordinance pro--i hibiting the operation; of games of chance or skill ws invoked Friday, by City Attorney Law rence Brown in an answer filed in circuit court to the complaint of Beryl Burch, barbep, asking a permanent injunction against in terference with pinbalj and other amusement devices by city or county authorities. J The -answer was immediately responded to by a reply from the plaintiff, in which the court was asked to; dismiss the inswer, the allegations of which are denied. .Filing of both answer and re ply Friday was taken to mean that the case might b set Tues day by Circuit Judge Y. G. Lew elling for early trial. The answer, which' was- filed on behalf of Brown as city attor ney and of Frank Min to, chief of police, denied generally the al legations of the plaintiffs com plaint with the except on of cer tain questions of fact, and con tinued to cite the ordinance as the basis for exclusion of pinball, marble board, dart and other amusement devices. As a further answer, the de fendants alleged that Burch, a barber at 178 South Commercial street, lacked sufficient property right or interest in property rights to justify the court in enjoining enforcement of the city ordinance against amusement devices. In his complaint sevoral weeks ago, Burch had contended that he desired to set up the devices in his place of business. The case has already been dis missed as against M. B. Hayden, district attorney; A. C. Burk, Marion county sheriff, and Earl Adams, constable of the Salem district. CIRCUIT COUKT Esther E. Demarest vs. Lloyd C.
