Newspaper Page TextT 2 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, July 13, 1943 Permanent Dam for Silverton City Water Supply . . , . i ; ki Mayor Offers Deciding Vote Silverton "To be or not to be" called for the deciding vote of Mayor Rebcr Allen last night when, for the first time since tho new council set-up, there was a deadlock in votes. The question at stake was decision concerning the Abiqua dam for the Silverton water supply, me dam went out last winter when the water was in flood and since then the city has been supplied by a pumping system at the dam site at a cost of more than $400 a month. Voting for the dam were Ern est L. Starr, who made the mo tion which was seconded by Al derman John W. Jordan, Jor dan and George Christenson. Pofinitcly against the dam as planned by the city manager were lusty "no's" by Jonas By berg, Tom Anderson and Ernest Boesch. Mayor Allen explained that he was a member of the city council when the other dam was built as a temporary struc ture, and contended that if the dam had been of lasting ma terial the loss would not have occurred last winter. He cast his vote for the building of the dam. The contention was causde because of the present labor and material situation, and Bybcrg felt that a temporary structure was sufficient. The cost of the dam and initial pipe needs was figured at around $42,000, com pared to $0000 for the tempor ary dam. . Starr's motion also passed that had to do with favoring an alternate bid, providing the cost of construction was within rea son. . When the rains of autumn fall, a Pied Piper may come to town. In plain parlance, rats that are shedding hair and feed ing on the contents of an open sewer that empties into Silver creek are getting on the nerves of the city health officer and the city manager, not to mention the mere citizen. The rat ex terminator man suggested that when the rats got worse and more numerous perhaps some means might materialize before the fall rains come. Then again, the jitters seemed to come to the discussion sur face in worry of what the con ditions are going to be for the citizens, his water supply, and other needs, when and if the Silver Falls mill leaves the town high and dry. i Concerning the life of Iho mill's working days here, Al derman Tom Anderson announc ed: "A man in the know said the mill would go down after the war as soon as it began to run in the red," and this apparently, determined the vote of "No" for Anderson on favoring a mere temporary dam for the water supply. Others felt that Silver ton could and would go ahead and always need water. Manager Burton explained as to the financing the costs of the dam that no bonds would need to be floated for the initial cost. That in eighteen months It could and would be paid out, and as a grand finale to a long evening, Die losers said this was a democracy we were living in and the deciding vole suited them, and no hard feelings, i Two houses in lown arc con sidered a menace to the safety to North Water street residents in the Custer Ross property that is in bad shape, and the resi dence place next to the KP hall, i Resolutions were passed waiv ng interest and accepting an Bgrecd settlement on street as sessments on Sunset Home prop erty on Mill street, the George Hubbs home on Apple avenue, the Norris Ames property in jersey street and certain prop erties of the Coolidge cslale. A Jot in Gcoscr addition may be sold for $200 to the Olson fam ily. The city budget was adopted as no objections were presented. , The city dog pound was re ported a success as no dogs were incarcerated. Dallas Librarian Gets New Volumes ' Dallas Mrs. U. S.

European Leaflets Have Strong Demand Silverton New contributions to the city library for patrons arc bulletins or leaflets on cur rent Hems of international in terest from Washington, D. C, concerninu happenings in Rus sia, Czechoslovakia, Australia. Norway and Denmark. These bulletins come weekly ordinarily. Because of Silver ton being a large per cent Nor wegian, the leaflet describing certain occurrences from their native land is proving of in tense interest. In the first messages from Norway were stories of such subjects as "Ninety-two German Planes Shot Down by Norse Air mcn"; "More Prisoners Sent to Germany from Nearby Concen tration Camp"; "Nazis Seize Hostages"; "King Haakon Re ceived Swedish Minister"; "Here and There in Norway," and "Hunger Tightens Around Groups in Norway."

Owho are well acquainted with these boys will vouch for a ere- ditable work of duration patrio tism from the two.
