Albany Maintenance of the nine

concluded Oils week.
The agreement points out that the
North Santlam highway section
along the north bank of the North
Santlam river to unsuitable for a

accordingly necessary to the state
If the North Santlam highway is to
be continued as a state road. The
road, built many years ago with state
aid, has been maintained by the
county and Is considered one of the
best roads In the county.
The requirement that the county
provide 60 foot right-of-way along
the road will not be difficult to ful
fill as It Is up to that width for most
of the distance, Judge J. J. Barrett
said.
Operations Restricted
Albany Logging contractors op
erating along the Quartavllle road
and Linn county court has reached
an agreement under which the road
will be kept open to log hauling sub

operators will pay the county the
cost of maintaining the road from

New City Manager
Proves Modest Man
Silverlon That E. K. Burton, Silver-ton's first city man
ager who is to take over the duties July 1, is both honest and
retiring is the deduction from a reply to a letter asking for
his picture and many facts of his
life.
As to the picture, it wasn't sent.
The reason is "I have not had a
picture of myself since I was much
younger and wore horned-rimmed
glasses and had black hair. I believe
I have changed too much to send
you that one."
Burton only brags once in the
modest reply and that Is when he
says that he is a family man with
two sons. One son had finished a
PE course In Pacific University and
has accepted a position in the
Third Bridge
Crosses Creek
Sllverton One of the first spots
of beauty In the city of Sllverton
noted by newcomers Is Silver creek,
granted that It is clean of debris
thrown surreptitiously Into the
creek, particularly during low water
periods, but the creek indirectly has
been considerably of a headache to
the city fathers during the past
weeks with the cares of a third
bridge the latest worry.
James avenue bridge got tired
and laid down on the Job. This
has been repaired for traffic of
reasonable tonnage. Then the big
bridge on Main street was con
demned and to up for extensive
repairs. With the swimming pool
opening June 30 It has been felt
necessary to build a bridge from
the city park to the pool and this
is being done with Lon Jennings
and G. Brady doing the work. Tho
Lions club came to the rescue and
are assuming the responsibility of
building steps from the bridge level
up the steep bank to the pool. This
will be finished by June 30.
Visitors to the park may now go
directly to the pool without making
a detour around through town and
back on South Water street.

term, and the other boy (Burton
didn't give the sons' first names) to
studying architecture at the Univer
sity of Oregon.
There was a between-the-llnes
ring of triumph and happy memor
ies when he said that when he lived
In Salem from 1890 to 1907, he was
known as Just plain "Ted" Burton.
The family came to Salem from
Marseilles, 111., four years after Oct.
27, 1888, the date of the new city
manager's birth.
Burton kept books for a large
mercantile firm in Mitchell, cen
tral Oregon, for a year. He went to
Portland working In the city en
gineering department until going to
Marshfield in 1917.
In Marshfield Burton has had
many city duties, chief of which was
city engineers for almost a quarter
of a century. He did some road
grading contracts on the coast high
way with the bureau of public roads.
Burton's associates sent compli
mentary recommendations to Mayor
Reber Allen, and the acting city
manager, Elgin McCleary, which
were read at the last meeting of
the city council.
Sllverton folk are awaiting the
coming of the Burtons with plea
sure. Turner
