DALLAS TO VOTE ON PURCHASE OF WATER PLANT
EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES WILLAMETTE VALLEY NEWS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
COUNCILMENOF
CITY PLEDGED
TO SAFEGUARD
Dallas Whether or not the city
will spend $130,000 in the acqutslt
lon of the water system now owned
by H. V. Gates, will be decided at
a special election September a. Ar
guments In favor of the purchase
have been published in pamphlet
form and are being distributed this
week. Based on the 1930 population
of 2,975 for rr.llas, it is estimated
that the annual earnings of the
plant will be S23.388 with operating
expenses of $4,480 each year.
Figures kept by Gates, and which
were used as a basis in fixing the
purchase price, have been sworn to
and for the past throe years show
an average annual revenue of 23,
388 with general expenses of $4,480
and a net of 118,900.
In the 3 years operation of the
Dallas water plant an increase in
Income has been recorded each year
and it is estimated that gross re
ceiots for this year will be S24.000,
indicating a profit of more than
19,000. Serial Dorms to oe retirea
from the earnings of the plant will
be issued if the bond issue Is ap
proved by the voters. The charter
amendment, which authorises the
purchase of th plant, also provides
that alter the plant Is paid for the
8urnlus earnings shall be used for
reduction of taxes by transfer to
the general city fund.
Engineers who have Investigated
the Dallas water plant state mat
the present condition of the system
Is such that no major replacements
will be necessary for many years
and that the plant Is the most
cheaply operated and maintained
In the state, showing the greatest
earning power upon the Investment.
Protection' of the public is pro
vided by the amendment which au
thorizes a water board of five sub
stantial tax-payers and bona fide
residents of Dallas, appointed by
the mayor and condrmed by the
council, serving terms of five years
each, no members being permittea
to hold a city oldce.
It is not the Intention to disturb
the present rate schedule of the
svstem, the argument continues, ex
cept in the case of the rate for ir
rigation of lawns and gardens. At
present the mains from the source
of supply are capable of furnishing
much more water man me normal
demands of the users. Gates es
timates that fully half ot the water
entering at the Intakes Is allowed
to flow back into the LaCreole be
fore reaching the city reservoirs
through overflow valves. This, advo
cates nolnt out. should permit I
more liberal allowance of water for
sprinkling and It Is the Intention
of the city to adjust this rate on as
liberal a basis as possible, encour
aging the watering of lawns and
gardens and beautifying the city
during the sumcr months at a rea
sonable cost.
Lone Hopmere Man
Is Good Fireman
Honmere What might have
been a very bad lire was prevented
by Walter Lander, the only man In
Honmere at the time. Homer Gou-
ley was preparing for the threshers
and probably to prevent lire naa
piled a lot of rubbish and burned
It near his barnyard gate on Sun
set avenue. Shlnklng the fire was
extinguished he left town. A wind
from the north fanned It Into
flames, pnrtly burning the gate.

shocked grain, hophouse, and the
Jones woods were In danger. Wal
ter Lander saved the Shepherd
home last winter and the little boy
who hid under the bed because he
had been forbidden to light matches.
