Among certain of the confirmed advocates of mountain water a group which has consistently advo cated the Little North Fork of the Santlam as a supply source recall talk which has flared up from time to time was being revived, and there were indications that these parti sans were even willing to go so far as to join forces with the propon ents of wells or the Willamette river in a concerted movement to head off the majority plan of the council. To suport their1 contention they pointed out that the North San tlam had once been condemned by the state board of health as a con taminuted and unsafe source of sup ply for the city of Stayton. Almost to a man the opponents of the North Saullain supply drew mental pictures of 30-mllcs of 30 inch steel pipe, to be purchased and laid at an estimated cost of $879. 000, and speculated some of them out loud. Disregarding the expense of en Urging the storage reservoir, which would be approximately the same under either plan, the $870,000 estl mate for the North Santlam supply system was being critically com pared with the estimated cost of a new intake, pumping and filter plant for utilizing water from the Willa mette, placed at $213,500 by the clty'sformcr engineering experts. The difference of $556,500 In cap. Ital outlay between the two projects loomed big, particularly when brok en down into an amortization schedule of principal and interest, So far there has been but one outspoken criticism of the councils program, that of the Salem Tax payers' league, which attacked it on on the grounds that such extrav agance could only result In greatly increased water rates to consumers, higher city toxes or both. Accepting what it professes to be "top" figures for estimates of antic ipated earnings of the system, bused on the net earning of the old pri vate company for the five years be tween 1930-34 Inclusive, the league points out that operating profits to be expected during the next five years will be Insufficient to meet annual Interest and depreciation charges, and will leave less than nothing for a sinking fund to rente the $2,250,000 in outstanding bonds. Net earnings of the private com pany during the past five years, as shown by the public service coin mission records, averaged $81,226 a year. Including $7500 of revenue re ceived from the city for hydrant ser vice which the city no longer pays. Deduction of the $7500 leaves a net operating profit of $73,726 a year. Elimination or the Item ol $25,881 a year in taxes, which the company paid but the city does not, would Increase the ostensible annual prof its to $99,587, but the subtraction ol a 2- nerrent f1prerlnHon rhnr?". MAN'S HEART SKIPS BEATS DUE TO GAS W. L. Adams was h'oated so with gas that his heart ofte'i missed beats after eating. Adlerlka rid him of all gas. and now he eats anything and dels fine. Perry's drug store. $25,000. would leave net operating prollts of only $74,584 a year out of which to pay Interest charges and set up a sinking fund. On the $1,100,000 in bonds Issued for purchase of the plant the inter est charge is $37,400 a year at 3.4 percent. Bond experts estimate that the interest rate on the additional bond Issue of $1,150,000 would be at least 4 percent, or $46,280 a year, brings the total annual interest charge tu $83,680. An apparent deficit of $9,093 H year, representing the difference be tween Interest and depreciation charges and anticipated operating profits, would have to be met through higher water rates or in creased taxes as would sinking fund charges. In support of its protest the tax league today issued the following statement signed by Frank W. Dur- bln, its president, and Carl T. Pope, secretary: "The Taxpayers' League of Salem takes the position that no source of water supply should be adopted by Salem which Involves an Increase in water rates to the consumers or an increase in taxes, particularly In view of the fact that two good sources of supply, the Willamette river and wells, aro available with out increasing taxes or water rates. The water- plan, should safely carry the cost of any improvements that arc undertaken, taking Into consideration the replacement of the plant as It becomes obsolete or worn out. "The Taxpayers' League feels that while Salem has been In rather an enviable position with respect to the amount of Its Indebtedness hereto fore, that it Is plunging in rather precipitously with Its purchase of the new water plant ui $1,000,000, the contemplated improvements of one and a quarter million dollars, partic ularly when taking into considera tion the school building program of nearly $700,000 and other general indebtedness of approximately $1, 000,000 and the fact that the water plant has been taken off the tax rolls, thus decreasing the taxable wealth of the city, as reflected in the 1936 tax statements now being received by taxpayers." RITTEMAN SUED BY ACCIDENT VICTIM A damage suit for $30,800 was filed in circuit court today by Lulu Brown against George W, Rltteman, because of Injuries received by the plaintiff when she was struck by an automobile driven by Rltteman last November 24.

YESTERDAY Today He is Down with Pneumonia! The Necessity ol Treating a Cold Promptly and Internally! The "Common Cold" is nothing to take lightly. It takes n greater loll in life, in health, in time lost from work and school and in medical expense, than any other affliction to which humanity it subject. The U. S. Bureau of Public Health Service says the "common cold" is Ihe most frequent cause of illness and lhat It is often Ihe forerunner of bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia and other equally serious diseases. One reason why colds turn out so seriously is that people are prone lo take Ihem loo lightly and treat them too casually. It is well lo remember whnl a cold is nn internal infec lion. As such, a cold patently calls for internal treatment, A cold, moreover, calls for a cold treatment and not a preparation only inciduntully good for colds. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine is what a cold calls for first, because It's expressly a cold tablet secondly, becauso it's inlernul medication. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine, working internally, does four things, all of them of paramount Importance in treating a cold. ) First, it opens the bowels, an admittedly advisable step in Ihe treatment of a cold. Second, it checks the infection in the system. Third, it relieves Ihe liendarhe and fever. Fourth, It tones the system and helps fortify against further attack, These four effects are what you want in the treatment of a cold and in Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine you get Ihem in the form of a single tablet. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine contains nothing harmful and is perfectly safe to lake. lis harmlcssneas, as well as efficacy, is attested to by the fact that it I the lurgest selling cold tablet in the world. When you feel a cold coming on, act quickly and act decisively. Go nt once to your druggist and get a package of Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine. Start taking tha tablets immediately, two at a time, every four hours. Adopted promptly, ihls treatment will usually stop a cold the first day, and that's Ihe action you want! All drug stores sell Bromo Quinine tablets and tha few pennies' cost may save yon much In worry, suspense and expense. Ask firmly for Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine and insist upon getting what yon ask for.
