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.

Two Silverton Boys Keeping
Lonely Posts as Observers
Silverton At least two Silverton boys, neither having reached
his seventeenth birthday anniversary for several months yet, are
doing a real man's job, rather a lonely one at that. Local folk
Silverton Welcomes
New Bus Schedule
Silverton With the new bus
schedule going into effect today
local folk are expressing delight
that they will be permitted a
reasonable stay in Salem be
tween runs.
It was announced officially
Monday that the trips by bus to
Salem from Silverton would be
7:15 and 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
and from Salem to Silverton, 8
a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 5:40 p.m.
Until today the midway runs
were not in effect.
These runs are all routed
through the Central Howell sec
tion. The 12:40 p.m. bus from Sil
verton to Woodburn is elimin
ated. Plane Reservations
Needed in Advance
Silverton C. L. Bonncy, head
sawyer of the Silver Falls Tim
ber company, rcttirncd home
Friday a disappointed man, but
"just one of those duration in
conveniences" he excused travel
officials by explaining.
Bonncy had word from his
brother in Mississippi that he
had suffered a severe stroke of
paralysis and Bonncy attempted
to make plane reservations for
the trip daily since more than a
week ago, planning to return
to Oregon in time for the open
ing of the mill after the week's
holiday granted all workers.
He never reached any port be
yond Portland, he said, and ask
ed a retraction of the story he
gave out when he left during
last week. Reservations by
plane had to be made many
days in advance.
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." Stories in
other bulletins are of equal in
terest to the native-born or
relatives of persons in those
countries. The reading of the
leaflets are free to patrons.

Union Hill The regular
nicotine of the Union Hill ornnfjo
I will be held Friday night.
Owho are well acquainted with
these boys will vouch for a ere-
ditable work of duration patrio
tism from the two. No "kick" is
looked for, cither, because wa
ter has to be carried, in the
case of one young man, around
a quarter of a mile, and up a
hill so steep that it could be
truthfully termed a cliff. Nei
ther has been on his own be
fore this summer's experience.
There are Colin Bragg, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Faye Bragg, his
father in the U. S. service, and
a veteran of the first World
war at thai, is alone at the Ml.
House lookout station in the
Silver Creek area, and the oth
er is Will Scarlh, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. P. Scarth. Scarth, Sr.,
is a veteran of World war one,
and a past commander of the
American Legion.
Will isn't quite alone. He has
with him, "Tippy," his rat ter
rier, who is reported as getting
as much fun out of the work
as his master Since June 7, Will
and Tippy have been in the
Beaver Creek section doing
lookout service. His mail ad
dress is care of L. Niclson, Rt.
