' '-f: V Compromise Highway Plan To Get Study When planning and zoning com missioners meet tonight to review one-way street plans for the area north of the capitoL they will be confronted with a new compromise plan. The city-state agreement now calls for use of Summer street as southbound arterial. Substitution of Winter street has been propos ed by the state capitol planning commission and some otner state leaders. The city zoners earlier this week drafted a tentative com promise using Summer street south to D street and then going over to Winter street via reverse curve. Still another compromise plan was being prepared Thursday by City Manager J. L. Franzen, fol lowing a conference of zoners with State Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock. Baldock told the zoning com mission delegation that Summer street continues to be his recom mendation and alternate planning would have to be authorized by the highway commission. The city zoners will take up the matter again at 7:30 tonight in city hall. Thm Statesman. Salem. Oregon. Friday.

Total mem bership is now 972. Amount loaned in 1950 was $4,045,000 compared to $3,750,000 in 1949, and $650,000 in 1935. The only column, Brandt stated, in which' the figures are down, is that showing the amount still own ed by the government. Here the figure has been reduced from $250,000 in 1935 to $40,000 in 1950. He stated that another payment would bring that sum down to $20,000 by March, he hoped. While 1950 earnings showed but $21,918 as compared to $35,344 in 1949, "the answer is a reduced to tal membership income, a heavier provision for possible losses, and a $5,000 up in operating expenses." Total assets are now at $2,138, 773 of which the biggest item is the net loan and interest fund of $1,889,282. Net worth was jAaced at $477,766 with total earnings and membership capital at $437,786 "B" stock owned by 761 members was listed at $204,005, with "A" stock owned by 366 at $44,660. Ernest E. Henry, Spokane, pres ident of the Production Credit cor poration, comtlimented the Wil lamette group on its small losses during its 17 years of operation. From $28,000,000 loaned, actual loss amounted to but $40,000. Henry, once fieldman for the Willamette group, reported that there were now 450,000 corpora tion members in the United States.
