Ammonia-Producing Industry
For Salem Area Envisioned
By Columbia Metals Manager
Possibility of new ammonia-producing industry in Salem was
envisioned Thursday by Arch Metzger, manager of the local fer
tilizer plant of Columbia Metals Corp. which uses ammonia in its
manufacturing process.
Metzger told -Salem Lions club members at a Marion hotel lunch
eon that the Pacific northwest's future is bright for continued ex
pansion of heavy chemical Indus-
Hearings Held
On Proposal
To Sell Line
try, principally because of electric
power advantages.
He said western agriculture re
quires large quantities of nitrogen
fertilizer, such as produced in Sa
lem. The recent ammonia shortage
has emphasized the corresponding
need for ammonia production in
the west, added Metzger
An ammonia plant construction
project would represent a $6,000,
000 to ' $8,000,000 investment,
Metzger estimated. He said it's en
tirely possible that such a plant
may come to Salem, although it is
also possible the plant might be
located in Wyoming or some oth
er natural gas center.
Fertilizer production stopped
here early in the year when east
ern producers of ammonia began
earmarking their entire produc
tion for the U, S. army and for
their local areas. Through legis
lation prompted by Salem Cham
ber of Commerce and endorsed by
the 11 western states, enough ar
my ammonia has been allocated
here to reopen the Salem fertiliz
er production next month.
Metzger said of the Columbia
plant here that its payroll for
about 150 employes totals some
$35,000 monthly, but its biggest
contribution to the economy of
this area is the increase in crop
value farmers derive from fertil
izer use. He gave as an example
that rye grass growers estimate
each 100-pound bag of fertilizer
adds about $40 in ; value to the
crop, using a bag per acre.
FILES FOR PRECINCT POST
Declaration of candidacy for the
position i of republican precinct
committeewoman in Liberty pre
cinct was filed with the Marion
county clerk Thursday by Dora S.
Stacey, Salem route 9, box 480.
Hearing was held in the state
public utilities commission here
Thursday on the proposed sale by
the Mountain States Power Com
pany of a transmission line con
structed in-Polk county in 1926
to the Portland General Electric
Company. Some other transmis
sion equipment also was involved.
The transmission line at issue
extends from Winona to the Port
land General Electric Company's
substation in West Salem. The
price was fixed at $8000.
Only two persons, other than
company officials, appeared at the
bearing. Harry Read, manager of
the Salem Cooperative Electric,
said he feared sale of the trans
mission line might prove detri
mental . to his interests. Elmer
Cook, West Salem attorney, told
the examiner that the Portland
General Electric company no
longer has a franchise in West
Salem.
