Friday that order has been given
to start work early next week

County Plans lo
Inspect Streets
The county court Friday dis
cussed a plan for hereafter as
signing one of its road crew as a
foreman to make daily inspec
tion on work done improving
dedicated or public streets
which are slated to become
county roads in event they are
brought up to the specifications
required. The county has a con
siderable list of such specifica
tions including among them a
standard base and oil surfacing.
The fact that one such street ac
cepted last year went to pieces
during the winter brought up
the question of closer and con
tinued on-the-spot inspection.
Definite action was not taken
on the plan but discussion indi
cated a favorable tenor.
Request of R. W. Morse for
information as to what steps
would have to be taken and
what specifications co m p 1 i e d
with to secure a county road 400
feet long running south off Sa
lem Heights avenue met with
decision of the court not to ap
prove such proposed street. The
roadway at present is not even
dedicated to the public, could
never be anything but a dead
end street as at one end is a
bluff which would bar further
extension and was considered
not of the type to meet the qual
ifications required.
Embezzlement Charged
Amoyt F. Aymong, 40, former
clerk at the Salem branch of the
First National bank of Portland,
is under arrest in Portland on a

He has been released on his own
recognizance by Federal Judge
James A. Fee and trial date has
not been set. According to Guy
Hickok, manager of the Salem
bank, full restitution has been
made.'

"hour of song," a traditional
event at Sacred Heart academy,

Rivers Rise
(Continued from Page 1)
Heavy equipment and 160
men dispatched by the corps of
army engineers at Seattle were
expected here to help in the
emergency work.
Dikes around the town will be
raised to the 37-foot level, al
most two feet above the peak of
last year's flood.
The flood picture in the rest
of the Northwest was dangerous
in certain localities but gave nd
indication of a major Columbia
river flood.
Clearwater Rising
In north central Idaho, the
Clearwater river sliced through
a low earthwork and flooded
a recreation park at Orofino,
Idaho. The river was rising but
well below the 1948 peak. A wat
er edge warehouse was flooded
by the Snake river at Lewiston,
Idaho.
Several farm homes in Ore
gon were threatened when Cath
erine creek broke through its
barriers. Volunteer workers fill
ed sandbags to protect the
homes. No serious damage was
expected at the town of Union,
Ore., below the break where
floodwater caused $500,000 in
damage last year.
The Columbia river rose
steadily at Vancouver, Wash.,
but no major damage wag ex
pected. River observers revised
their prediction of an 18-fool
crest and said the level might
reach 20.9 feet by Monday.
Northern Washington's Twisp
rover swelled out of its banks
into lowlands and bridges were
closed as precautionary meas
ures on other rising rivers in
the slate.
