duties pending the appointment of
a permanent secretary.
Ickes in a 2,000-word letter of
resignation said of his testimony
in opposition to the nomination of
Pauley:
"I cannot accept the'theory that
I should have told the senate nav
al affairs committee anything less
than the truth. I hive no apolo
gies for having done to, although
I did regret the unhappy personal
position in which I have involun
tarily found myself."
Pauley Assured
Ickes told the committee that
Pauley had advanced the "raw
est proposition ever made to me"
by suggesting that $300,000 could
be gained in campaign ooninou
lions from California oil men if
the government would drop Its
suit to establish federal title to
oil-bearing tidewater lands.
This Pauley denied, saying
Ickes was mistaken. The Presi
dent, too, told a press conference
that Icnes couia oe wrong, ana
this provided the springboard for
the 71-year-old secretary's resig
nation.
Ickes wrote that some of Mr.
Truman's friends "resent keenly
the fact" that "I told the truth,"
then added:
'As to your statement that I
might have been mistaken in my
testimony my feeling is that, since
you were not present at the hear
ing and presumably had not read
the record, it was not proper for
you, even although you be the
President of the United States, to
pass judgment on a question of
veracity between Mr. Pauley and
myself. After all, I am a member
of your cabinet at your own re
quest and I do not have a repu
tation for dealing recklessly with
the truth."
Ickes, appointed by the late
President Roosevelt to his original
cabinet In 1833, has been secre
tary of interior longer than any
other man. He is 71. The only
Roosevelt appointees now remain
ing in the cabinet are Secretary of
Commerce Henry A. Wallace and
Secretary of Navy James For

in 1914, remaining in Corvallis for
a year in the experimental en

went to Carnegie Tech for a year
of advanced work in his field.
From 1916 to 1918 he was a test

Following a brief stretch in the
U. S. navy, during which time he
attended the steam school, Boals

Nebr., where he became light and
water commissioner and city en
gineer for the community of 8000.
In 1938 the registered profes

Further indication of the growth

In the peak load kilowatt demand
during the past 12 months -
Rebuilding of the Walterville
power plant, doubling the capac
ity of the Leaburg unit on the
McKenzie, building of two addi
tional water reservoirs in Eu
gene and redevelopment of both
the power and water grids for. the
city are a few of the planned pro
jects. Both McArthur and Boals see no
end in sight for the current boom.
Just how swiftly the "five-year-program"
can be pushed along de
pends on material and labor avail
ability. To Rebuild Plant
. A half million dollars will go
into the rebuilding of the original
electrical power plant at Walter
ville, expected to be well under
way by the close of 1948. Offi
cials expect to Increase its pres
ent capacity from 3000 to 6000
kilowatts.' Reconstruction of the
plant, built In 1910, will be effect
ed without shutting down the
plsnt. On complete new build
ing will be necessary and the fin
ished project will be at a slightly
different location.
Duplication of the present power
unit at Leaburg will be facilitated
by originally-planned buildings,
pen stock and canal, already In
place. The 7000 kilowatt present
capacity at Leaburg will be dou
bled with the installation of the
new generator and water wheel.
With the present flow of the
river the maximum power output
from a unit twice as strong as that
htfw In place would be possible
for an approximate eight months
of the year. Regulation by the
proposed dams on the upper Mc
Kenzie would make full produc
tion possible throughout the year.
A total of $32,800 ' has been
budgeted for expenditure at the
steam plant to boost boilers, gen
erators and electrical apparatus to
a higher capacity and efficiency.
Improvements in transmission
lines in connection with the Wal
terville development are budgeted
at $45,000. Rebuilding of the
transmission line between Walter'
ville and Leaburg will cost an
other $5000.
Capital Additions
Fixed capital additions to the
electrical distribution system have
been budgeted to the extent of
$162,700 for this year. This will
include completion of a partially
built substation and installation
of another one, as well as pay
ment of $50,000 for distribution
transformers, poles and wire. An
outlay of $3500 for a machine for
digging holes for power poles is
also planned.
The overall electric system now
serving. Eugene will eventually
be completely rebuilt. Plans in
elude its change from a three-line
to a four-line system. The same
transformers will be supplement
ed with others and the additional
wire will more than double the
carrying capacity of the grid. Dif
ficulty in obtaining transformers
and wire, as well as experienced
engineers and linemen, threaten
further delay, but the city hopes
to have the development well
along by the first of 1947.
McArthur and Boals estimate
that $910,000 of the $1,533,271.35
electrical budget will come from
current revenues. The difference
of $623,271.35 will be taken from
the depreciation reserve.
Plans and specifications are now
near completion for two new
water reservoirs in the Fairmount
district. The low-level Chula
Vista project holding six million
gallons will cost approximately
$150,000. The other, costing an
estimated $45,000, will have a ca
pacity of 750,000 gallons for higher
levels of the city.
Delivery may be expected soon,
McArthur and Boals feel on $100,
000 worth of cast iron water pipe
and miscellaneous fittings ancVf
valves costing more than $9000.
With 10,000 feet of water pipe on
hand, this represents a total of
$141,000 worth of materials alone,
not Including labor costs, which
will go into the water main sys
tem as 'soon as possible.
