Seek Paving
On Southview
The Marion county court
Thursday held its initial Inform
al meeting for benefit of prop
erty owners on Southview place
who have petitioned for paving
of their street under the law al
lowing the improvement of dedi
cated streets at property owner
cost-
The report from the engineer
showed an estimated cost of
$2,858 per front foot of property
owned with an overall estimated
cost of $5,705.75 for the job.
While there are 1996.99 lineal
feet involved, because of vari
able widths the cost will be esti
mated on a basis of square
yards, the jobs showing 3873.6
such yards in the project. Im
provement from curb to curb is
asked.
The job is a little unusual as
the street to be improved looks
on the map about like a ping
pong paddle, being a turn
around and an entrance to it,
the street being 50 feet wide in
places and 30 feet more or less
in other places.
Another hearing will be had
on December 19 to give the pro
perty owners time to report
their reaction to the cost esti
mate. If the feeling against the
proposal should be overwhelm
ing enough, it will be abandon
ed. If not, bids will be asked.
After bids are received another
meeting of property owners will
be called and they may still dis
continue the project if enough
opposition is shown. Otherwise,
if the bids are considered satis
factory by a sufficient number,
the project will go ahead.
Southview place lies just
south of the old "Y" at the
junction of 99E south of Salem.
To Meet Friday The Spanish
clut is to meet Friday at 8 p.m.
at the Salem YMCA. Dr. W. D.
Wilkinson is to tell of his ex
periences in the army on the
Galapagos islands.
Highway Jobs Slated The
state highway commission will
open contractors' bids Decem
ber 20 for 5.7 miles of surfac
ing and bituminous macadam on
the Kings Valley-Read creek
section of the Kings Valley sec
ondary highway and for 12,000
cubic yards of crushed rock to
cover the section of the Alsea
highway from the Lincoln coun
ty line to Alsea mountain.
Finances Shown The month
ly report of S. J. Butler, county
treasurer, covering November
shows assets of $5,341,297.24
the largest in the history of the
county and the first time it has
reached the $5,000,000 mark.
This is due to large collections
of taxes on the 1949-50 roll. All
funds are shown to be in bal
ance. The courthouse construc
tion fund has reached $781,-
651.52 but will be much higher
when allocations are made of the
latest tax collections.

The cabinet accepted the res

southwest China headquarters,

this job in addition to his pres
ent duties as chief of staff.
Deputy Directors
Generals Hu Tsung-Nan and

directors.
Two guerrilla forces to oper
ate under southwest headquar
ters were established. The com
mander of the first force is Gen.
wang Tsang-snu. The com
mander of the second is General
Tang Shih-Tseng.
This would indicate national
ist operations on the mainland
will be resolved into organized
guerrilla warfare. Such a step
virtually is a nationalist admis
sion they have lost the China
mainland. It does not, however,
mean they have lost completely
the great war against the Reds
which has been going on since
1927.
The nationalists evidently
hope they will be able to con
solidate their remaining forces
and conquer the communists in
the same way as the Reds beat
them.

Although the transportation of

is still needed.
Early in 1950 it is expected
that the contractors will have
approximately 2000 men em
ployed at Detroit, and this huge
force will add greatly to the
traffic over the narrow road
from Mehama to Mill City and
beyond. -
Members of the Salem Cham
ber' of Commerce have urged the
highway commission to make
this improvement but the efforts
have been blocked by R. H. Ban-
field, chairman, who contends
that the state "should not be re
quired to construct roads for the
contractors on the dam.

The plant has been closed
since last June 30 when the con
tract expired between Columbia
Metals corporation, then operat
ing it, and the government.
Purchase Price $750,000
"Since July 1, 1949," says the
Manganese company's bulletin,
"the sprawling 103-acre WAA
property . . . has been main
tained under the custodianship
of Manganese Products, Inc.
Purchase figure is that, t bid by
MPI during open bidding early
in 1949, $750,000.
"Originally constructed by
the government during the war
as an alumina plant at a cost of
approximately $5,600,000, the
property is well suited for use
by MPI in its manganese recov
ery process. Reports made by in
dependent chemical engineering
authorities, as well as govern
ment experts, substantiate the
company's own estimates on the
process and the adaptability of
the Salem plant to it.
Old Force Retained
"Key personnel of the for
mer commercial operation
which functioned under a short-
term lease, have been retained
under the supervision of Mr.
A. W. Metzger, plant manager.
Other personnel who will be
available for the revised opera
tion under MPI are: T. J. Loury.
plant superintendent; John Ro-
sene, plant engineer; P. Good
chemist; J. C. Mount, traffic
manager; Brooks Ely; paymas
ter; and C. A. Rust, accountant."
Active in the disposal of the
property since the plant was
closed June 30 has been the Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce,
which at all times has been in
close touch with the negotia
tions, and Manager Clay Coch
ran has been in frequent consul
tation with authorities in Wash
ington and with the Manganese
people, anxious to keep the plant
as a successful Salem operation,
Plant Manager Metzger had
only brief comment today, but
said he was certain the plant
will not be in a position to em
ploy labor until after the first
of the year.
The intention will be to begin
the manufacture of fertilizer at
once, since the first months of
the year are important in that
operation.
