Industrial Sites Until the 'minerals' of the Pacific northwest and adjacent western Canada are developed, ' ! until the restraints are removed against, new enterprises that can produce successfully in ' this region, and until research no longer can of fer new products and new processes to use northwest materials, no man can foresee the limits to which this region may go in using its enormous power resources to make a bet ter place for men to live. Paul Raver in foreword to -Western Oregon Industrial. Sur veys.' ' ' ' ' i i "Electric power at the lowest cost in the , United States" is the key to the-reat war pro duction program in which the Pacific north west is now engaged, the Bonneville adminis trator points out. Other advantages of climate, transportation, j fuel and water supply labor supply when the present artificial shortage ends and considering the growing importance of the Pacific geographic position, are listed i h , Miration iust issued, based upon sur- veys made over a period of years. Distributed . In the right places, the surveys should benefit the industrial development ambitions of western Oregon communities. Maps of 16 western Oregon cities, with their environs, are included irv the publication. On each map the situation and area of industrial sites which are available and which the Bonne Tille engineers considered desirable, are marked in red ink. Filling those potential sites with factory buildings is not quite so simple as marking them on a map; yet in the case of some, it will be accomplished. .' ' An interesting phase of the accompanying text is the property tax survey. For example sites within Salem's city limits were taxed $29.62 per 1000, of actual volume in 1941; sites outside the city ranged from $19 to $20; sites within the West Salem city limits $28.82, out side the city limits $12.89. The difference chief ly is that on the Marion county side, the sites outside the city limits are within the ! Salem school district. Sites outside Woodburn and Mt. Angel are taxed $12.10 and $12.91 respec tively on the same basis; but the taxes on sites within Silverton's city limits amount to $34.46 and outside the city but within the Silverton .. school district, $20.78. In this matter of property taxes there are no marked differences among the various Wil lamette valley counties; however taxes on sites ( around Tillamook are slightly, higher than the ' ' average for suburban sites in the valley, and in the Coos Bay area substantially higher. Inci dentally, the rate inside Marshfield is only $32.51 while in North Bend it is $42.52; that war an argument used in the recent "City oi",. Coos Bay" merger campaign. " ' The property tax comparison though intrigu ing is not by itself a decisive factor; sites in Washington state might look more inviting on property tax basis, but industrialists must look further to the sales tax and prevailing wage rates. ' S . But before these red-ink spots on maps of the Willamette valley can be turned into production centers, a great deal of chamber of commerce work will be necessary, and sundry j "bugs" ironed out; among them river transportation. - Some of our good folk will oppose the entire - movement.

Crawford has given an excellent administration as postmaster at the important Sal ' t postoffice," and ; there will ; be ' general satUiaction over his reappointment which has just been made by the president He was de sirous of retiring, but when candidates failed to satisfy the civil service ; requirements and obtain the necessary: political endorsement he was prevailed upon to continue in office. Under the existing postal regulations his tenure be coiaes permanent until he reaches the. age- pf reuremenx. r-;-v- .f::,; 2:-si: Direction of affairs at the postoffice is far more difficult than in former years. The help " problem has been serious, and the postmaster has had. to employ youth and women to render ' service to the public. The postoffice ; has to . handle such matters as sale of auto stamps, sale and cashing of war bonds, which are quite un related to the postal business. The Salem of fice is run smoothly-and efficiently and cour- . teously. Mr. Crawford merits reappointment, and he shares with a fine staff the credit for the hih quality of service In the local postoffice. rWor Suhzis Is; Wo Fear Shall from First Statesman, March 28, 1851 THE STATESBLAN PUBLISHING COMPANY CHARLES A.
