held August 11 at the old McDonald farm near Scio in com
memoration of the coming to Oregon in October of 1846 of Na-
'Dallas Faculty
Hunting Homes
Dallas Although the Dallas
teaching staff is now almpst
complete, several instructors
are without places to live during
the coming school year, accord
lng to S. E. Whitworth, city su
perintendent.
Two men teachers need homes
.'to house their families while
five or six single women teach
' ers are frantically searching for
rooms and boarding places.
! Coach Bob Daggett planned to
move to Dallas well before the
opening of school, now only a
month off, to make plans for
his coming 1946 high school
gridiron season and arrange for
early practices, but on several
trips here has been unable to
find a place to live.
Waller B. Nelson, who was
elected as high school com
mercial teacher, also needs a
home for his family. He will
succeed Mrs. Veroka Morrison,
who resigned from the faculty
upon the return of her. husband
from the marines. Nelson comes
to Dallas from Rapid City, S. D.
So great has been the demand
for housing here that no type
of living quarters appears to be
available.

a top speed of twelve miles an
hour in high. Brakes, individu
al turning, a drawbar on each
end. The front tires are 400x8,

inch wheelbase and a 41 inch

City Council
Calls for Bids
Dallas The city council Is
calling for bids on $108,000 of
city sewage disposal bonds as
the result of action taken Mon
day evening at the regular
meeting of the city council. The
bids on the bonds will be ac
cepted by City Auditor Bill
Blackley up to 8 p. m., Septem
ber 6.
The issue is the remainder of
$150,000 authorized at a special
city election for the construc
tion of a storm sewer and for
the construction and mainte
nance of a city sewage dispo
sal plant. Bonds totaling $42,
000 were issued earlier to pro
vide funds for the storm sewer
now nearing completion.
Councilman C. B. Sundberg,
chairman of the street commit
tee, asked that the 1948 street
paving program be closed with
out re-surfacing Church street
where the storm sewer is now
being laid. He stated that ' it
would not be advisable to pave
over the sewer at this time due
to the possibility of its settling.
Assessment rolls on the street
program will be prepared to
provide for the anticipated bond
issue under the Bancroft act.
When the rolls are turned over
to the city auditor, property
owners will be advised of the
cost to them and will be given
the opportunity of signing bond
applications which may be paid
off over a period of 10 years.
Laying of pipe in the new
storm sewer is expected to be
completed this week and man
holes are now being construct
ed at each street intersection.
Permission was refused the
Disabled Veterans of Salem .to
hold a series of wrestling
matches in the city ond the
grounds that another local vet
erans organization had plans
underway for a similar series
of sports events.
