Water Problem
SILVERTON That the people
of Silverton would. like to build
a dam and take first steps toward
clearing Silverton's- water from
the muddy condition In which it
has been served during ' freshets
in recent years, was the opinion
Mayor Earoll Ross expressed at
a called meeting of three civic
group Thursday night. -
Present were members of the
city council, the city planning
commission and the citizens com
mittee appointed to study the lo
cal j water situation.
It was briefly reviewed that the
former dam was washed out in
1942 and that while plans had
been laid to rebuild it at that
time, these were postponed bet
cause of the war. A year ago a
proposed concrete dam was voted
upon by the city but failed to
carry.-
Mayor Ross explained that in
Ms opinion this was defeated be
cause it did not provide me zu
teration plant necessary to clear
Oe water.
Carl Green of the John Cun
ningham company, consulting en
gineers, Portland, was present to
give costs on two dams, one' on
the sieht of the old dam on the
Abiqua about four miles out of
- Silverton. and the other dam Site
approximately 3500 feet up the
Abiqua from the old dam. He pre
sented a written copy of his rec
ommendations and findings to
those attending the meeting and
elaborated on this report.
Supply Said Adequate
Among- the points he brought
out was that tests had proved that
the supply and the city's water
right on the Abiqua appear to be
ample for the dry's needs for
many years to come.
In speaking of capacities, he
stated that if a dam on the lower
site is to be constructed, then
the transmission main ultimately
should not be less than 10 inches
In diameter. If the upper dam
site is to be used, compound 14
Inch and 16 inch transmission
main appeared feasible, he con
tinued.
Estimated cost of a concrete
dam on the lower site, including
: sedimentation and screening im-

gineer s iigures wowra, against
a concrete dam, including sedi
mentation and screening appur-
mentatlon and screening appurte
nances, at the upper site at $41,-
800.
Less Cost for Upper Site
It is possible, he stated to de
liver water by gravity from either
the lower or upper dam sites on
. Abiqua Creek to a Kilter plant
, adjacent to distribution reser-
tween the two locations would
have to be laid if the upper site'
were chosen, the engineer still said
that the cost of supply improve
. ment per million gallons of water
delivered still would be less for
the upper dam site than the low
er site1 because of, the greater head
available. The old 12 inch wood
stave pipe line from Morley Cross- i
ing ,to Silverton should be re-
placed with not less than 14 inch
pipe1 If the upper dam site is used
and not less than 16 inch pipe if
the lower site is used. He advo
cated that the gravity capacity of
supply line should in no case be
less than 2,000,000 gallons deliv
ered and preferably 2,250,000 gal
lons, i
The estimated cost of the new
, dam at the lower site and replace-
; ment or the old line with the II
inch pipe was $181,700 feet for
1,700,000 gallons and at the upper
site with necessary new pipe and
replacement, $194,100 for a capa
city of 2,000,000 gallons delivered.
FlnaaeM Keviewed
Mr. Green stated that the finan
cial situation of Silverton is far
better than most cities which he
added speaks well "for the pres
ent management.' He went on to
say that people would vote for the
necessary project if it l
"Sound" hut turn ft Anam if it
- were not, adding that your pro

That the water situation in

Loar, vice chairman of the plan
ning commission sxatea.
"I dont know of anrttiintf that
j would be more of an asset to Sil
,' verton than filtered water," he
went on, "I think we would make
a big mistake if we adopt a dam
plan that would hamper that sup
ply The citizens' committee, prior to
the time of receiving the data now
on hand, had voted against the
upper dam site. Mayor Ross asked
Earl Adams, chairman of this
trouPito bring the matter back to
ras group with the engineer's cost
and water deliverance data.
"Perhaps," Mayor Ross stated.
-you wm want to bring' back tb
same recommendation, but it i
, only i air that you have all these
; facts before you make your final
decision." The mayor added that
he bad not dismissed the commit
tee yet and hoped it would be
willing to work with the other
grout until Silverton's water
problem was solved for "the best

NLRB Rules
piWGraltyof
T-H Violation
WASHINGTON. June 17 -VPi-
The national labor relations board
unanimously . ruled today that the
United Mine workers broke the
Taftf Hartley law by a campaign
or "violence'' to organize employ
es oil a Harlan county, Ky de
partment store. -
The board charged that mem
bers of John L. Lewis' union
sought to compel workers in the
Union Supply company at Lynch,
K.y., to sign membership and dues
check-off. cards by "physical
force' and by the "display of
deadly weapons.
The NLRB said the organizing
campaign was climaxed by a
"melee" on February 5, 1949 in
which a policeman was fatally
shot, but it did not find the union
group responsible for his death. -
Outline of Dispute
The board sketched this outline
of the dispute staged in the south
eastern section of Kentucky wide
ly known as "Bloody Harlan" be
cause of its past record of dis
orders: ' -. .
Since 1945 the employes of the
Union Supply company, a whol
ly-owned subsidiary' of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, had
been represented by local 474 of
the United Construction workers,
an umw affiliate.
But, the NLRB said, the UCW
organizers were "unsuccessful" In
their efforts to "persuade" all the
store employes to join the local
and sign the dues check-off cards,
Take Over Drive
In January of last year, it smid
the United Mine Workers local
7423 came into the picture by
"taking over the organizing
drive, "reportedly at the orders of
the UMW or John L. Lewis, UMW
president.'
Although the five-man NLRB
board voted unanimously to find
the UMW and its local 742S guil
ty of violating the Taft-Hartley
act, it divided four to one in rul
ing the the construction workers
local also was responsible lor the
violations. -
Board Member John M. Houston
cast the dissenting vote on the
grounds that the UMW and its
local had : taken "exclusive con
trol" of the organizing drive.
The board ordered both unions
to cease "assaulting, attempting to
assault or threatening with repris
als" or "in any other manner re
straining or coercing' the store
employes.
