.THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
SENER REPAIRS
TO RE FINISHED
EARLY IN WEEK
Final preparations for actual
laying of the pipe extending out
intothe water of the Willamette
river, from the present opening of
the city sewer under the Marion
Polk county bridge, were complet
ed today. 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.

MOISTS WANT
STATE CONTROL
OF ALL ROADS
Eugone, Aug. 21. (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.
