Walsh Construction of smaller dams In the Willamette river project will be more expensive and slightly less effective. Col. O. E. Walsh of the U. S. army engineers told Sa lem Chamber of Commerce mem bers at the Monday forum lunch eon. The smaller dams were substi tuted for the larger ones to more nearly meet with the approval of the desires of the fish commis sion and allow for fish propaga tion. Walsh said. The original plan for seven dams called for one at Sweet Home but changing conditions have made it undesir able to move that enlarged com munity, Walsh said. A repetition of the 1861 flood, worst in known history of the area, would cause a loss of 339,000,000 and would be a major disaster, the speaker said. The system of dams on the Willamette river and its tributaries is intended to con trol flood conditions, as well aa provide for power and irrigation, the speaker said, giving a progress report on the work. rem Ridge and Cottage Grove dams, which have been built, have already saved 60 per cent of their coat, in recent floods, the speaker said. Referring to irrigation, Walsh said in case of shortage of water, surplus could be brought down from Waldo lake. Colonel Walsh was introduced by State Sen. Douglas McKay. Be cause of the holiday the crowd was the smallest in many weeks. j' galeae's Greatest Shew Bargain! L -J NEW TODAY!

Wallace and -other lead ing Americana today demanded that the United States act to make effective the partition of Pales tine.

S. to support this international force; to take measures which would force Britain "to halt ship ments of arms to the Arabs;" and to lift the embargo on arms to Palestine. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the U. N. commission on human rights and U. S. dele gate to two U. N. assemblies, call ed for prompt establishment of a U. N. force in Palestine.

City Manager J. L. Franzen pre sented a resolution authorizing three leases for approximately one block of property along the Willamette's east bank and Sa lem's Water street, the total rent al to net the city $80 per month from L. R. Tweedie ($20 for oil tank installations), Willard Tay lor ($23 for Salem Boat house) and the firm of C. E. Staller, Phil ip Tuor and Gale Merwin ($13 for moorage). Alderman Albert H. GiUe said he felt the rentals should be 100 per cent higher, but Franzen pointed out that in the past the city had collected only $10 a year for the property leases. Council action killed a pending resolution to pay $2,500 to John W. Cunningham 6c Associates for consultation on plana for the pro posed city sewage disposal plant. City Attorney Chria Kowitz was instructed to ascertain status of a contract the city entered with Cunningham before the war for planning services. Several alder men indicated they felt the city manager's plan would be suffi cient for the purpose of calling a bond issue election to find out if the public will vote a $815,000 levy for the sewage disposal plant and interceptor sewer completion. Taxi Action Delayed The council also withheld ac tion on a pending ordinance bill to provide controlled taxicab stands and to require use of taxi meters. A letter from H. Lynn Clark of Salem Taxi service of fered to withdraw cabs of that firm from the "bus station block" of High street as a compromise with other taxi companies who opposed the measure earlier in the month. However, aldermen layed the bill on the table for two weeks, with Councilman Howard Maple asking that the taxi com panies get together on amendments that will be acceptable to all lo cal taxi firms. A delegation of residents from the veterans housing colony ap peared to ask city council study of mud and parking conditions at the southeast Salem housing site. A spokesman said residents felt the work was progressing too slowly. Sewer Charges Altered The council authorized down ward adjustment of the new sew er service rental charges for Ter minal Ice 8c Cold Storage Co., for Pacific Telephone 6c Telegraph Co. and Salem General hospital. The city manager and engineer in recommending the action pointed out that the storage plant returns little water to the sew ers, that PTAtTs complaint was based only on water used to oper ate a hydraulic pump and that the hospital at present uses a stat sewer. The council adopted a report of the city zoning commission to formally adopt the names of Kum ler and McGilchrist for streets east of Summer in a newly an nexed city area. Referred to the city attorney was the $50 claim of Eugene Guil lot for doctor bills occasioned, he wrote, by a fall after he stumbled in a hole on downtown Court street in September, 1046. Two new street improvement projects were approved, for Nor way street between Liberty and 4th and betweert 4th and Broad way streets. The council also ac cepted a compromise offer of $165 from the Marion county court to settle a long - outstanding as sessment against South 21st street property between Turner road and State street for street im provement work of several years ago. The county acquired the pro perty through foreclosure. Veterans' Benefits Talked at Meeting W. F.
