Total cost of the project, indud ing improvements to and changes in existing sewers, is estimated in the WPA application at $458,765, of which the city and state would be called on to contribute only $224,923. Costs to the city and state are set up as $14,885 for use of equipment, $190,838 for matef rials and $19,200 for other non labor items. All labor and super intendence would be paid for by the WPA. Principal units in the project are the interceptor sewer, begin' ning at Union and Church streets and running " northward over varying course to the disposal plant site which the city already owns between North River road and the Willamette river, a short distance beyond the Marion county poor farm; the disposal plant it self, with its pumping station. sludge beds, digesters and settling tanks; small pumping stations at Ferry and Front, Union and WaterL and Bellevue and Church streets Yearly cost of the plant has been estimated by Baar A Cunning-ham, engineers retained by the city council to study the city's needs, at $11,500 for In terest and principal payments on a $200,000 bond Issue, $3900 for plant labor, $3950 for power, $1500 for maintenance and $1200 for billing - and collecting ser vice charges, or a total of $22,-050.::- . If all water service connections were billed equally, the yearlr cnarge against each of the 7742 connections inside 'the city- limitk would, based on a $22,050 yearly plant cost, amount to $2.85, Davis pointed out. To be on the safe side, he arbitrarily raised the esti mate to $3 a year as his outside figure.
