Silverton Council Asks
For Bids on Dam Project
Silverton The city council expressed itself favorable toward
asking for bids on a rock fill crib dam for waiter supply for the
city of Silverton. Plans discussed favorably included a filteration
plant..
Members, of the council are of the belief that it will not be
necessary to float a bond issue
to pay for a dam of this type as
there is practically sufficient
funds to cover it.
A new dam for the Silverton
water system has been a much
discussed subject since 1943
when the high water took out
the former wooden dam which
had served for 25 years.
Considerable complaint was
made last year by water users
because of the muddy condition
of the local water. B. F. Billings,
who served as water superinten
dent in a city of comparable size
before coming to Silverton,
brought the water question up,
he said he had been given the
job of investigating the local wa
ter system by the Izaak Walton
League.
Billings reported that he had
found hog and cattle barns on
the little streams feeding into
the Ablqtfa a short distance
above the city source and sug
gested that the city go up the
river above the sources of polu
tion and then control the water
sheds. Mayor C. H. Dickerson ex
plained that this had been con
sidered but that it would be ne
cessary to go up six miles and
that the cost of extra pipe would
be prohibitive at the present
time. Councilman Alfred Ad
ams added that he understood
that there was talk of diversion
from the proposed Detroit dam
and that if this were possible it
would not be advisable to spend
too much on a system now.
The council authorized City
Manager Robert Borland to
make application for street aid
from the state highway funds.
and write the Southern Pacific
company asking repairs to track
crossings at North Water street.
Borland reported that he had
made such requests but his let
ters had been ignored. The
council will meet October 11 to
open bids for street improvement.

'Body in Well'
Case Mystery
Dallas, Oct. 8 The case of
the "body in the well" remains
very much a mystery, according
to Polk County Sheriff T. B.
Hooker.
The human skeleton, that of
a male believed to have been
between the ages of 30 and 40,
was found in a well about four
miles northwest of West Salem
on September 22. At first it
was believed that the body had
been in the well on the Carl Wil
liams place between two and ten
years, but Sheriff HooKer is
now inclined to believe tnat
the body was placed there over
ten years ago.
Deputy Sheriff Tony Neu
feldt. who is in charge of the
case, has been running down all
leads, but none have given any
definite clues yet as to the iden
tity of the body or how it hap
pened to be in the well.
Many letters have been re
ceived from officers elsewhere
and persons knowing of missing
persons but none so far havp
yielded any tangible light on
the mystery.
