Several lengths of heavy concrete pipe were laid, and gave el for mixing concrete to connect the pipes run down the bank in a trough prepared especially for tho purpose. AIL indications were that the sewer would be completed next week, giving the city's crew an op portunity to go ahead and repair the other lines near the north end of Salem. The' state sewer, a few hundred feet north of the city sewer, under the Marlon-Polk county bridge was finished this week. The for mer job, which brought the sewage across the gravel on the river bank and deposited It neatly on the water exactly at the shore line, was completely torn out. A ditch was dug, the pipe laid lower down and more line added to it, so that now the sewage enters the water below the surface, abolishing -the foul odor that the sewer has given off for more than a month. The whole new pipe line haB been cov ered over with a heavy coat of con crete. The addition to the city line, when completed, will amount to about 30 feet in length, and ex tend diagonally out from shore. It will be covered with huge pieces of concrete, part of an old brldgo foundation having been broken up for that purpose, and the whole joined together with new concrete. It Is believed that even during the highest and swiftest water the new pipe will not be washed away. Meanwhile the level of the Wll lamette river has risen a foot and a half due to the rains early In the week. If the river Bhould rise another foot and a half tho opening of the sewer in Its present condi tion would be under water. . When completed the sewer will not give off the stench that has been a nuisance to nearby resi dents, It Is believed. The repairs are purely temporary, however, so far as a permanent and lasting so lution to the sewage problem for a growing city Is concerned. The question of sewage disposal here and at other points along the Wil lamette river will be taken up at a meeting called by Frederick Striek er, secretary of the state board of health, for the' chamber of com merce at 10 a. m. September 10. MARKET SITE SELECTION IS (Continued from Pa On) Idea as a location was suggested because free rental on the ground space would bo secured. But free rental is not necesarlly to be de sired, members of the committee pointed out, If other considerations over-balance that advantage, and the advisability of curtailing the meagre park facilities possessed by the city , must be seriously consid ered. Since last night several com plaints against defacing the ap pearance of Marion square as a park liavo been lodged with menv bers of, the committee. Townsend said today that the availability of other privately own ed sites in tho downtown district, more centrally located than the Marlon souare site, have not been thoroughly Investigated as to ren tals and lease terms that could be secured, but that this would be done immediately with a view to having further information ready for consideration of the committee when it meets again next Wednes day evening. Some members of the committee, Including Townsend, favor a more central location even If a nominal rental would be required, it it can be secured. A reasonable rental, they point out, would be a lcgltt mate expense to be charged to op eration of. the market, and increas ed business accruing lo those us lng the market through ' a 'better location would justify the item of rental expense. s . While neither the committee nor the city council has given official consideration to the proposed suggestion that actual establish ment of a public market,, which now looms as a probable result of tho present committee's work, and the operation of such a mar ket should be vested in the hands of a public, market commission. and it Is considered certain that if .the existing committee 4s able to work out a satisfactory plan the council will be asked to empower that committee lo establish the market in conformity with their plans and constitute it as an op erating commission. BRIDGE ON ML HOOD LOOP. OPENED AGAIN The bridge across White river on the Mt.

(P) That the stato highway commission should take over all state roads, both for construction and maintenance, and cease to require county coopera tion, Is the concensus of opinion of representatives of state and Port land automobile associations, brought out at a meeting yesuerday at the Portland Chamber of Com merce, when Judge C. P. Barnard of Lane county, met with repre sentatives of the automobile groups to talk over proposed road leglala tlon, according to word brought back here today by Judge Barn ard. Judge Barnard's . proposal that one-half instead of one-quarter of the state receipts from automobile licenses should be turned over to the counties was one of the prin cipal topics taken up, and the Lane county official explained his view of the value of this plan. The automotive group, he said, holds the opinion that the state should not be hindered In any way at the present time In completion of Its program of road building, and the fear is expressed that If there is any proposal to change the state motor laws, there will be a deluge of bills in the legislature that might not all be advantageous to the state. The opinion voiced at the meet ing was that there should be no reduction In motor vehicle license rates until there has been a sub stantial reduction In the bonded indebtedness of the state and counties for road work.
