Big money for - navigation and

Included 'were three f major
construction Jobs in the Willam

Cottage' Grove reservoir, $11,500;
Detroit reservoir, $2,000,000, and
the Dorena reservoir, $1,000,000!
All ! were flood control projects.
Also included Is $62,000 for. the
McKenrie river"; flood "control
project in Oregon. AH had failed
to receive approval of the house
appropriations committee.
By a standing vote of . 137-&3,
the house approved art amend
ment adding $122,273,000 for. pro
jects which the committee want
ed to shelve until next year.
Thus, disregarding "economy''
appeals by Chairman. Cannon (D,
Mo) and others, the house acqui
esced in President .Truman's re
quest for money to put war-halted
Water jobs back on a peace
time basis. This' also had the
sanction of the budget - bureau
and the army engineers. . .
Leading the attack; " against
omission of the program, Bep.

Asked to Stage
Salem city council will be
asked Monday night to move ra
pidly, either suspending the min-
Lutes; or going into special session
a few days after the iMonday
meeting, jjjto pass an ordinance
calling a special city election in
conjunction with the January 11
congressional j election. r ,
Thus, it was generally; agreed
Friday, can the council best help
to rectify: the mistake which nul
lified the 'June 22 decision of the
city's voters to expend $125,000
for purchase of 43 acres of Bush's
pasture to' complete a 100 acre
park. At the i same election, vot
ers 'refused to grant a franchise
to; Salem iElectric. That questicm,
too, fwill be re-referred to the vo
ters;: if the ordinance planned for

it was said, i- ? :
; Possibility that the parking me4

scent by jnerchant opponents of

Because" the formal call for
a special election June 22 was not
published at any time between
June 2 and June 12, the election
was: illegal and the affidavits re
quired by . the bonding company

covered Thursday. The election,
