Insurance Rates in
West Salem Cut
Alderman Walter Musgrave
reported Wednesday that West
Salem area property owners had
become the beneficiaries of one
of the promised savings as a
result of the merger of Salem
and West Salem.
Effective immediately, Mus
grave disclosed, the Oregon state
insurance rating bureau has set
the same rate for the Polk coun
ty area as has prevailed in Sa
lem.
The West Salem rate was for
merly 45.90, while that in Sa
lem was 35.70.
The effect of the rating order
is to cut rates on fire insurance
for the West Salem area. The
same stipulations governing
Salem rates will prevail.
Property located more than
500 feet from a standard hy
drant served by not less than
a four-inch main will retain a
rate of 45.90.

Suit Open for
Prafum Area
Ancient history of the Pratum
section was being dusted off in
Judge Rex Kimmell's circuit
court room Wednesday as the
case of Jacob Haberly and oth
ers vs. Charley Brown and oth
ers went to trial.
The plaintiffs are seeking to
gain possession of an acre and
a quarter of land, part of the
old Centerview school site near
Pratum. Also they ask $1000 as
damages.
They claim that back in 1886
Mathias Haberly deeded the
land to the school district and
that the deed provided the land
would belong to the school dis
trict as long as it was used for
school purposes.
It was used for that purpose
for many years but in 1948 a
consolidation of several school
districts was effected and school
is now held at Victor Point. The
old school and the land were
sold. The plaintiffs claim that
the clause in the deed has be
come effective in their favor as
heirs of Mathias Haberly.

Childlike Faith
A possible clue to her utter
lack of restraint was based on
her child-like faith that sbe

She told authorities that her
mother, who works as a cook in
