to pardon Mooney. Sinclair pointed
out that his election, if It came
about, would not be for months.
Sinclair said he was taking no

guilt or innocence in the San Fran

body else In California knows, that
Mooney was convicted on perjured

NEW DEAL ON
WATER SYSTEM
Simultaneously with the visit in
Washington of Jolin W. Cunning
ham, engineer in the employ of Sa
lem on the Little North Fork water
project, E. C. Eliott, president of
the Oregon- Washington Water
Service company also is visiting the
national capital. Tills was learned
here Saturday in a telegram re
ceived by City Attorney Chris
Kowits from Cunningham.
It is believed that efforts are un
der way at Washington, with all
parties concerned being represent
ed, to get together on a new price
to be paid by the city for the Salem
water plant of the O-W company.
It is known that public works ad
ministration officials last week in
timated that they would reach
conclusion by the end of the week
as to what amount of loan they
would approve for the city. No de
cision, however, was announced.
This, together with the Informa
tion, that Elliott has gone on to
New York, with the intention of
returning to Washington in a few
days, gives rise to the belief here
that negotiations for the transfer of
the plant to the city is under way.
C. C. Hockley, pwa engineer tor
Oregon, is al-o in Washington, and
Senator Charles L. McNary and
Representatives James W. Mott are
also Interested.
