Disposal Plant
Application Voted
Another step towards realization of the long-dreamed-of
sewerage disposal plant for Salem was taken last night when
the city council authorized Mayor W. W. Chadwick and City
Recorder Hannah Martin to sign an-
application to the WPA for a grant
to cover labor costs on the project
which Is estimated to cost a total of
close to $400,000. An Interceptor
sewer Is included. There was no
opposition in the council
The WPA has informed the coun
cil that the application probably
can go forward to Washington next
week. The state board of control Is
on record approving an expenditure
of $50,000 by the state on the pro
ject, since the state institutions
would be benefited, and it Is as
sumed the legislature will back up
the board. Mayor Chadwick esti
mates that the cost to the city will
not exceed (250,000 and If the ne-
cessary state support Is given says
Commission to
Get Bridge Case
Proposal will be made to the state
highway commission this week by
the Marlon and Polk county courts
that a bridge be constructed over
the Willamette river at Independ
ence at an estimated cost of (250,000,
half of the cost to be borne by the
state and the other half to be re
paid by the two counties. Repayment
would be In yearly installments of
$5000 each covering a 25-year per
iod. The payments by the two coun
ties would be in lieu of the cost of
maintaining the lnter-county ferry
now operating at that point with
some small accruals from the gaso
line tax receipts of the two counties.
This was the decision reached at
a conference yesterday afternoon
between members of the two courts
attended by representatives of the
Salem-Kings Valley highway assc
elation. The afternoon conference
was held following another confer
ence had by the same parties with
State Highway Engineer Baldock
In the morning, at which time var
ious phases of the bridge situation
and Its possible financing were dis
cussed.
The two counties now expend ap
proximately $3700 a year In main
taining the lnter-county ferry. They
also receive substantial sums from
the state in rebates for gasoline re
ceipts, Polk county getting between
JU,000 and $40,000 a year and Mar
ion about $180,000. The chances are
considered good for these receipts
to ce enhanced rather than dimin
ished as times goes on, population
grows and gasoline usage increases.
The payments contemplated could
be made on a sliding scale, It was
pointed out, so as gasoline tax re
ceipts Increased they could be slight
ty larger u desirable.
County Judge Hewlett was select
ed as spokesman for the delegation
to present the proposal to the high
way commission at tomorrow's meet
ing held In Portland. E. A. Miller,
for the Salem-Klngs Valley high
way association, will outline argu
ments for construction of the pro
posed bridge at this time and other
oourt members as well as assoclaton
members will be on hand to back
up the speakers.
