Homnbw 31948 iwo-tnirasoturc igons Plan Better Sewage Systems; Report Predicts Building Boom Of Oregon's 100 Incorporated communities, small and large, two thirds have definite proposals for Improvements of sewage systems and treatment plants, the Oregon Postwar Readjustment arid De velopment commission reported to Coy. Earl Sneil last week. The over-all program Is estimated to cost $23,729,237. The report showed that 68 eonmuruties plan sewage systems costing I700,787, with, treat ment- plants, estimated at $6,199, 798. The one-third of the incor porated municipalities not includ ed in the program are mostly small hamlets in rural areas. Nineteen hare voted bonds ag- gregating $1455,800, while sink ing funds have accumulated $2,324,144. The commission i said said some cities already have warded contracts and work! is in progress. Others have engaged en gineers and still others are wait ing for their funds. - Will Combat Pollution It was stressed Jn the report that as ' the sewage treatment Elants are developed there will e a gradual improvement in the pollution condition of the Willam ette river; the Columbia river and their tributaries. Referring to the housing short age, the report emphasized there ' are two types of veterans desir ing homes. One is willing to start with a two-ear garage, the report declared, and live in it until the present tight situation of mater la Is and prices eases up. The oth er wants a complete modern house with all the latest conveniences. Statistics included in the report indicated that the average vet eran is unable to pay more than $43 a month rent or $55O0 to purchase. Less than 40 per cent said they could afford a house" costing $6000 or more and 24 per cent said they wanted a house costing less than $4000. Cement Demand Heavy 'With the marked shortage of materials, the report said there is now a heavy demand for cement blocks as a substitute for masonry and lumber, and that more than a dozen , plants in Oregon are manufacturing cement blocks; The only limitation appears to be that caused by the scarcity of cement. Mention also was made of the lumber industry, which has been una Me to obtain sufficient work ers' because of the housing short age. "Without suitable housing, the report, said, "many men have refused the Jobs and especially if they have families." The commission concluded by 4itiwn"g reports that a de pression was sure to follow the end of the war. The report point ed out that covered payrolls in Oregon for the first six months of 1146 were 115.4 per cent higher than for the comparable period in 1941 and only 19 per cent un der the same period for 1945 when shipyard operations accounted for $120,997,268. Increases Recorded "With ' the exception of the shipyards, every industry in the state showed a substantial in crease over the January-June months of last year," the report said. The commission said more pro posed building projects are being filed in the offices here almost daily, with prospects, that Oregon is destined for the most prosper ous construction area in its history.
