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?".

$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."

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.

does four things, all of them of paramount Importance
in treating a cold. )
First, it opens the bowels, an admittedly advisable step

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
