Albany Construction 01 a piy
wood mill at Second and Third
lakes at the edge of Albany is now
waitinK on the title to the land sur
rounding the lakes and agreements
for a railway spur with the South
ern Pacific company and the Ore
gon Electric company, it was stated
Tuesday.
Bringing the report up to date
contracts have been entered into
for the purchase of the Riley, Coop
er and Cusick-Zahlsdorf. Burkhart
and Cooper tracts bordering on. the
lakes north of the city. It is hoped
that all deals can be closed shortly
and transfer of the property U the
mill operators completed promptly.
Delay has been encountered with
the Oregon Electric and Southern
Pacific railway companies over the
matter of the spur into the plywood
plant and log dump. In view of the
fact that the operations on the lakes
promise in excess of 100 carloads
of out going freight per month it is
not expected that serious difficulty
will be encountered by the railroads
in working out a Joint agreement
for the construction.
The mill operators stated that
construction will begin as soon as
all details are complete and title to
the property Is in their hands.
