PORTLAND GAS
FLOWS TO CITY
IN NEW MAIN
The new Portland gu wu offi
cially turned Into service In Salem
at I o'clock p. m. Thursday when
Mayor Livesley opened the valve
which admitted the gas from the
60-mile-long mains to How Into the
local plant at the foot of Chemeketa
street.
The gas supply equipment for
Salem baa been vastly extended
since the Portland Oas & Coke
company bought out the Portland
Electric Power company's gas busi
ness here last summer, and now
reaches parts of the city that never
before have had gas service.
The final work of making the
connection with Portland was com
pleted several days ago, and since
then the system has been thor
oughly tried out, and a soon as
the new service goes Into effect
officially It Is expected to go ahead
without a hitch.
Manager Bergsvik of the Salem
office of the company says Salem
users will immediately observe in
creased heating qualities in their
gas supply, since tets show a much
superior grade of gas than Salem
has had in the past The Port
land Oa & Coke company's mod
ern oil-gas plant at Linn ton. near
Portland, makes the gas that is
conveyed to Salem. The old coal
gas plant htre will be kept Intact
for emergency ue.
The main from Llnnton Is a 10
Inch pipe to Boone's Ferry, and from
that place to Salem is of 8-lnch
diameter.

10 auditors of the merger ouU
fit were busy over a month Koine

houses, furniture manufacturing
plants and a general line in the

COUNTY NOT
TO COMPROMISE
WITH BANKERS
fill state banks which have been
dUly dallying along about payment
of 1927 and 1928 taxes have a chance
of learning a new lesson la what
interest really is. Up to now around
17 per cent Interest In due on the
books ot the tax collector's office
on the 1927 unpaid taxes and per
cent due on the first half of the
1928 roll, unless it is ascertained by
some sort 4f court procedure that
these banks do not owe the county
the money at all.
Taxes become delinquent at the
rate of 1 per cent a month after No
vember 5 of the collection year.
Some $10,000 In taxes are unpaid by
the six state banks, part of this for
1927 and part for 1928.
It has developed that at the se
cret meeting between three bankers
who represented three banks in the
unpaid list and the county court
held Wednesday morning there was
some rather indirect talk about a
suit on the part of the bankers and
that members of the county court
intimated that the matter wasn't
up to the court at all, that the taxes
were on the tax roll, and as far as
the court knew they were due and
owing and that any sort of a com
promise on the amount was not
within the power of the court to
enter into if It wished.
The matter was left simply In
that position that it was up to the
bankers to pay unless they could
show by some action in court that
the money isn't due and owing to
the county and it Is known that
the last thing that some ot the
bankers want to do Is to start a
court action because of the appear
ance of the thing to the people over
the county.
It Is a pretty safe guess to say
right now that the county court
isn't in any mood to effect any sort
of a compromise with the bankers
by cutting down a percentage of the
taxes as was done in some
counties. The court (eels that It has
no authority to take such action
until directed to do so by some other
court of competent Jurisdiction and
then probably It would haw to go
to the sujnenie court to be finally
determined.
So there the matter stands with
