' In 1940, Monmouth became
pioneer city In the distribution of
electric light and power by in
stalling its own municipal plant,
and using Bonneville current. The
city had to go in debt for the
plant when it was already heavily
in debt for water and sewer Im
provements, but all of that is past
history, now.
Lewer Rate Obtained
Scott said that a few years ago,
the state board of control, seeking
lower rates for the state house at
Salem, and the state institutions,
from Portland General Electric;
and lower rates for the University
of Oregon at Eugene from the Eu
gene Municipal Light and Power
company; and for Oregon State
college from ML States Power
company, were able to quote Mon
mouth's low rates so effectively
rfhai a. substantial rate redaction
termed a classic in financing, Pau
lus said. On ef the' methods was
to refund bonds, take up an old
bond, and issue a new one in its
place at a lower rate of Interest.
"The credit of the city of Mon
mouth ranks second to none in the
state!" Paulus said.
Other speakers were O. O. Hit
tie, engineer of Lower Columbia,
BPA; and William Trommerhau
sen, engineer in charge of the
Lincoln electric system.
Many Asked to Assist
Mayor Bowersox asked Mrs. El
sie O'Rourke, retired city record
er to burn the first bond; others
taking part In the rite were C C.
Powell, Elsie Brisbane, Delmar
Dewey and E. W. Staata. Bower
sox stated that new rate reduc
tions here will give Monmouth
consumers a low of $1.23 per 30
kw: and $4.23 per 300 kw. Taxes
mm to IT mlBs, and water and
electric 'profits .will further re
duce taxes and Improve the dty
utility systems.
In his 1$ years as mayor. Bow
ersox has paid off bonded Indebt
edness amounting to $220,000, not
counting interest, so the achieve
ment is noteworthy. Monmouth's
pre-war population census of
1940 was 978, which indicates
the high per capita rate of debt,
for dty improvements. Bowersox
was given high praise by State
Treasurer Scott for his leadership
in this enterprise.

Fred H. Paulus, assistant state
treasurer, reviewed the high per
capita rate of indebtedness In
Monmouth when Mayor Bowersox
first took office 16 years ago. The
area Including Monmouth at that
time was in debt about 23 per
cent of its assessed evaluation of
real property; and during the de
pression as the evaluation of prop
erty dropped, the debt ratio rose
to about 30 per cent of Its assessed
evaluation.
Paulus gave great credit to
Mayor Bowersox and the city
council, whose combined efforts
of saving and management finally
eliminated the entire debt of the
city, including the cost of the
electric light plant, now worth
$69,000. Procedure used might be
Tuesday by Mrs. Karl Miller and
Mrs. George Henderson, project
leaders. Mrs. Wllma Ea fief was

Historians
STAYTON Removal of the
bouse which has stood for many
years on Florence street. Just back
of the Santiam Hardware and Im
plement company, to a lot on First
street in xne past iew weeiu ou i
created an interest in the hostory
of the house, one of the oldest in
Stay ton.
When the question of who built
the house was put to several res- ,
identa who have been here a great
many years, A. D. Gardner, sr.,
recalled that it was built by
James Follansby about 1880. Fol-
lansby, he said, was a sawmill
man who married a daughter of I
J. M. Jones, a well-known pio
neer eeneral merchant. The son-
in-law later became associated
with Jones in the store.
Another sidelight was added by
George Brown who said that while
Follansby built the house, he was
called back to eastern Oregon be
fore he could occupy it and the
house was rented for many years.
Michael Streff, who was the fa
ther of Mrs. Jake Spaniol and Mrs.
Lou Doerfler, bought the property
In 1898 and the family made its I
home there for a number of years.
They owned the entire half block
which is bounded by Florence,
Second and Water streets. They
also maintained a furniture store
on the block. It was in this store
that Jake Spaniol started his first
tin shop in Stayton.
The house has survived two big
fires in the neighborhood, one
when the furniture store burned I
and the other when the hotel
cross the street on Florence was 1
destroyed in a blaze.
The late W. L. Pettit and Mrs.
Pettit were the last occupants of
the house, having lived there for
little more than three years.
C. V. Curtis bought the house
from Curtis Neitling and moved
It to a vacant lot on First street,
going through a lot between the
building of the newspaper shop and
the Wright Truck terminal. He is i
fixing up the house with a view to
aelling it. The hardware store
plans to build a warehouse on the
former site or tne house.
