It was nice to see a newcomer receive the Junior First
Citizen award Tuesday night at Dallas. ... It was recognition
not only for Stan Malo, whb has lived at Dallas tor two years,
but in a sense for many other newcomers to the valley both
in Dallas and elsewhere. . . The Willamette Valley is a latter
day melting pot, not of Swedes, Irish and Dutch, but of Da
kotans, Nebraskans, Ohioins, Minnesotans, Texans, Indiana
Hoosiers, and New Yorkers'! who discovered that the sun didn't
set on the Hudson River, after all They have been crossing
the plains ever since "Oh, Susanna" was a hit; tune, and the
Oregon Trail was never more traveled than in recent years.
. . .jWhile Stan Malo may not be a newcomer to Oregon, he
is a comparative newcomer to Dallas, and it was nice to see
a newcomer honored. !
It was nice to see the Polk County Itemiier-Observer honored
t the Jaycee banquet, too . . This was recognition for both pub
lisher Earl Richardson and for Wes Sherman, a fine newspaperman
who probably did the legwork on most of the Jaycee stories during
the past year . . . Wes is an effective behind-the-scenes worker in
securing good publicity for Dallas ... I have always felt it was his
reporting of the Fitzgerald fire at Valsetz that opened the door for
Howard Fitzgerald to receive a national lifesaving award from Pres
ident Eisenhower . . . Wes was probably the first, too, to suggest
that Dallas have a homecoming for Johnnie Ray . . . Dallas is doubly
fortunate to have a lively Junior Chamber of Commerce and good
news coverage from the Polk County Itemizer-Observer.
Josiah Wills has retired as Polk Coupty School superin
tendent, but his talent as a Spencerian penman lingers on. . . .
Literally thousands of perions who graduated from the eighth
grades of Polk County's rural schools during the past 30-plus
years hare certificates signed by Wills. . . . And this week the
Dallas Jaycees remembered his flowing penmanship and had
him! write the names on certificates that were awarded to lead
ing Dallas cifirens Tuesday night.

IGov. Patterson didn't have a chance to forget his speak
in eln eta oempnt a Da11a TupsHav niffht. Hp said thai Stan
Malo had been writing him a letter every week "since last
August" reminding him of jit. . . . Malo was a big award winner
at the banquet. ... He had to, front-and-center twice within a
few minutes to receive twq separate awards from the governor.
. . Somehow this reminded me of Admiral Richard Byrd, who
made a number of expeditions to Anarctic regions during the
years that the one-and-only Jimmie Walker was mayor of
New York. . . . Every time Byrd returned to New York from
the: South Pole, he would ibe honored by a ticker-tape parade
through New York streets to the City Hall where Jimmy would
present the key to the ciryto him. .... About the third time
this happened, the mayor greeted him by saying, "Dick, this has
got to stop!" !

Costly Sewaqe Plant
Have City
By DEAN HOLMES
Staff Correspondent
SHERIDAN Apparently be
lieving the old adage "third
time's a charm," Sheridan's City
Council is submitting its $350,000
sewer bond issue for voter ap
proval! Friday for the third time
in two; years.
If this! week's election follows
the pattern of the other two
there will be -little voter interest
shown, and the measure will go
down to defeat by a small mar
gin. With approximately 800 reg
istered voters in the city only
428 voted in ihe first election in
1952, when the proposal was de
feated by 22 votes. Last Septem
ber even a smaller number, 294
turned out and the project went
down to defeat by 8 votes
Warned in 1930' .
Storm sewers carry sewage into
the South Yamhill River which
runs through the center of town.
Many business firms and home
owners have hooked onto the
storm' sewer to eliminate their
sewage disposal problem. It is
on this point that the State Sani
tary Authority is "cracking the
whip'!, i
The Authority warned the city
back in the late "30's that this
would not be permitted, and
would be in direct violation of
the state's anti-pollution law. As
a result the state bureau has been
pushing for a sewer system in the
city, but the community, for the
most I part, has paid little atten
tion. In 1949 the state authority
officially told the city to nave
the project complete by Dec. 31,
1953. But two elections have not
brought; voter approval, and this
must come before bonds to fi
nance construction and debt serv
ice can be put on the market
The past week a group of bus!
nessmen and housewives, headed
by Leland R. Sackett mapped
plan$ to get out a large vote Fri
day, iwhich they believe will bring
a favorable vote on the project

River just keeps rollin' along past

rnaay j
of Sheridan in Tizzy
ated by the current system
of I
sewage disposal. '
Many home owners are getting
by in what they Call a "satisfac
tory manner" with their septic
tanks. They don't like the idea
of helping out those who have
trouble with their tanks or those
who are dumping' sewage in the
river via the storm sewers. The
state authority claims a commu
nity sewer system is the only
answer to the problem.
The tough problem for Sheri
dan is that with a valuation of
little over $1,000,000 the project
will cost around j half a million
dollars. A very small part of the
funds have been accumulated.
Result is that to finance the big
job and lay sewer lines all over
the city of 2,000 population, about
$435,000 will be needed for the
job. The Council has not listened
to ideas that the project be
scaled down in size.
$75 Hook-up Cost
To keep the bond issue as low
as possible, and to be more at
tractive to the bond bidders the
city council hasset the issue
at $350,000. But, to pick up an
other $52,000 they expect to
charge each user a $75 hook-up
charge. This charge is bringing
protest. The answer has been
that if the bond; issue would be
any larger bidders, if any, would
be rare, because lit would be too
much of a share of the city's
valuation. Plans are for a mini
mum water users monthly charge
of $2.25 and an advalrem tax of
5 mills.
Sheridan now has a combined
millage rate of 109 mills,' but this
is due mostly td a. greatly ex
panded school system to take
care of increasing enrollment
The municipality's financial con
dition is considered "good" in
comparison to jmany towns of
similar size. The city has a small
debt and a millage of 17 mills.
The town claims- to have the fin
est streets for any municipality
its size in the state, as well as
one of the outstanding volunteer
fire departments in the North
west. Local residents claim the
water it the be?t anywhere. The

HOME FROM HOSPITAL
WILLAMINA Mrs. L. E. Page
and Clarence Park have returned
to their homes after undergoing
surgery and
treatment at Mc-
Minn villa hospitals last week.
i
Sheridan where sewage pollutes ft
firms and many homes into the
Deman
city has also shown considerable
improvement in recent years.
Opposition is chiefly on the
basis that the project Is too
clostly and the community can
not afford to obligate itself to
finance construction. Others
argue that all the cost hou!d
be on ad valoram tax basis.
Francis G. Bradley, Sheridan's
mayor for about five years, until
he resigned a month ago,! called
for a citizens committee last
fall to propose a financing plan
that would get voter approval.
The committee was named and
they had trouble in agreeing on
a plan. Some favored all the cost
cost going on the tax roll while
others wanted jl user's ipharge.
The committee's- proposal was
not accepted, so the council came
up with the plan due fora vote
Friday. Soon after as the plan
was announced Mayor Bradley
resigned and Fred Bzeman,
president of the council, took
over the mayor's job. I
Because the issue is icontro-
! versial, many who favor the pro
ject have been reluctan to do
anything to get approval bv the
voters. The council is hot ex
pressing anv public opinions on
the issue. However, thev have
indicated this will probably be
the last time it will come up for
a vote. i
Face Legal Action
C. M. Everts, Jr., secretary and
engineer of the State Sanitary
Authority, told the city 3ast fall
to get the project going or the
city will face legal action by the
state.
Barney McPhillips, McMinn
ville banker and member? of state
board, told the Chamber of
Commerce three years ago "you
build this sewer system for have
'it' hauled away in buckets."
In spite of the threats and
warnings some residents feel
they would like to see what the
state can do. Others don't want
the city to get the publicity that
would come from a legal action,
and want to comply with the
state's anti-pollution law. which
Sheridan voters approved in
1936 along with other pregoni-
ans. i
