Bids Will Be Opened Feb. 24
For Depoe Bay Improvement
By C. K. LOGAN
Bids for the improvement of Depoe bay this summer, estimated
to cost around $400,000. will be opened by the Portland district
corps of engineers February 24 with the improvements making
ive times the space avauame ior snipping as at present.
Drainage and enlargement otf
the present basin will provide
approximately 750 feet by 350
feet with a depth of eight feet
sheltered from the ocean by the
rock promontory upon which
the coast highway passes. The
useable boating space now is
about 125 feet by 350 feet and
averages around five feet in
depth. At extreme low tides
many craft rest on the bottom.
Depoe Bay is regarded one of
the finest ' small harbors for
shallow draft boats in Oregon
because it can be entered fre
quently when other harbors are
unsafe. It has no bar but two
reefs extend out from rocky
points north and south of the
entrance which help break up
the swells.
Will Dredge Basin
The plan calls for dredging
the basin and the 30-foot wide
entrance channel to a project
depth of eight feet and for the
construction of a concrete re
taining wall 660 feet in length
alone the east side of the basin.
Behind this will be a fairly lev
el area connected with a public
road so automobiles and trucks
can be driven to the edge of the
basin, adjacent to five floating
piers, each about 120 feet long,
which the Port of Newport
commission proposes to build
for public use.
Also provided will be a catch
basin at the south end to stop
silt from being washed into the
boat basin from Depoe creek.
The project will also include
a concrete breakwater 160 feet
long on top of the rock ledge
just north of the entrance to the
bay to break up northwest
swells which frequently sweep
across the entrance and force
boats towards the rocks on the
south side.
An alternate location with
change in plan is provided for
this feature in case the engin
eers fail to get needed right of
way to reach the first location.
The breakwater will also be
eliminated if bids for the basin
project exceed the amount allo
cated for the project.
Under the plan for utilization
of the new basin the sport fish
ing charter boats will be
berthed at floats tied alone the
north end of the basin, at the
foot of the bluff where they
are centered, and commercial
fishing boats and other pleasure
craft will be berthed at the Port
of Newport floats on the east
side.
Place for Unloading
The west side of the basin
will be devoted largely to load
ing and discharging of fishing
boats at the fishing company
stations now located between
the highway and the bay. At the
south end there will be a pri
vately owned area available for
development into a repair cen
ter.
While the improvements are
under way the Tradewind craft,
offering ocean fishing trips and
short pleasure cruises, will be
operated out of Newport.

THE OTHER SIDE
Salem Bus Drivers Cite
Their Four 'Pet Peeves'
By DAVID BLACKMER
Being a bus driver for the large percentage of Salem's popu
lation which depends on the City Transit Lines bus service for
their means of transportation to and from the metropolitan area
is by no means the pretty picture that some people believe it
to be.
This decision was reached by
this reporter after spending a
day riding buses with four dif
ferent drivers and interviewing
the top man on the seniority
list of drivers.
To begin the day, I boarded
the Madison bus, driven by Or-
val Mull, 937 Norway street,
who was the initial driver for
my day's journey.
If a bus driver doesn't know
every schedule tnai exists in
the city of Salem, nc is a aeao.
duck as far as the estimation
of Joe Blow, our first customer
for the day.
Our second incident occurred
when a woman wished to be let
off at the Ladd & Bush bank
corner, which at the present
time is an illegal bus stop. If
a driver stops there, he is sub
ject to a fine by the city council
which has designated wnere dus
stops are to be within a four-
block area. The woman was
very displeased and maybe the
company lost a casn customer,
but one can not please every
one.
Many people, in my estima
tion, don't seem to realize that
bus drivers are only human, and
that they, just like John Q. Pub
lie, have feelings which can get
beyond one's control. But in a
bus driver's position, you can't
lose respect for the customer
and. therefore, it is a simple case
of being tongue-tied during your
day s work.
After the day is over, a driv
er then goes home and lets off
his steam in front of his wife.
At least, that's what I have
heard.
There are always two sides
to a story.
In this article I am only writ
ing the side of the bus driver
which is not taken into consid
eration too often by people who
ride the bus.
People often tell the driver,
You're late. Can'i you stay
on schedule?" If only the per
son that made that remark re
alized that some other person or
persons helped to make the
driver late.
Oville Mull
Lot's return to the subject of
riding ihe bus for a day to see
why.
Upon a return trip from the
Mill street run, a gentleman was
standing on a corner and seemed
to be waiting for the bus. Mull
shifted the bus down to a lower
speed, stopped, opened the door,
and the young man exclaimed,
"I wasn't waiting for you." A
mere wave of the hand would
have saved the Mill street bus
from being minutes late on its
next run ... By the time five or
ten things happen like that, the
bus can easily get off its regular
time.
00
What is It like to be a bus
driver eight hours? .
Have you ever tried sitting
aown for eight hours with only
stretching your legs once or
twice and gulping down your
lunch if you have a minute or
two?
That is the life that Mull and
most of the other drivers lead.
Mull got out of the bus only
five times in the day's time.
During extra minutes and no
more Mull ate his lunch while
sitting at the end of the line.
Another time I rode with Er
nest Walker, top man on the
bus drivers' seniority list, who
has racked up 40 years as a
street car conductor and bus
driver.
0 0 0
The four main pet peeves
from my observations in a day
were:
1. People who stand on bus
corners and don t want the bus.
Signaling the driver to go on
past would eliminate this fault.
2. People who never have
fare ready upon boarding the
bus. Or the people who dig
into the pocket or purse for
five minutes.
3. People who stand in front
of the windshield and block the
driver's view.
4. Customers who use the
front exit at the main loading
stops instead of using the rear!
of the bus exit.

four sets of brothers who are
drivers. C. H. Walker, 2238
Trade street and George Walker,
140 Lana avenue, are the two
top drivers on the list. The
Elds, Henry and Arthur, live at
1950 Warner street, and 1120
Donna avenue. Harley Cross,
530 N. 22nd street, and Raymond

Teamster Union
Power Feared
Washington, Jan. 31 ff)
NLRB General Counsel Robert
N. Denham declared today that
if the AFL- Teamsters Union ever
concentrates its power "there
will be no measuring" its eco
nomic force on the nation.
He made clear that he views
this prospect with alarm.
As attorney for the National
Labor Relations Board, Denham
is the government's chief Taft-
Hartley act prosecutor. His of
fice is independent of the NLRB
itself.
In a speech prepared for a
meeting of the American Truck
ing Association, Inc., Denham
said the Teamsters exercise con
trol which touches virtually ev
ery industry in the country. He
added:
"If they could just concentrate
that control, as most of the other
organizations do, under a single
master-type agreement or for
mula patterned for collective
bargaining that would apply to
and tie in all of the industries
which they touch, there would
be no measuring the economic
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, January 31, 1950 11
force and power of the Team
sters in this country."
The potential strength of the
million-man union, Denham said,
"is sufficient to dwarf the eco
nomic power of those so-called
monopolistic giant unions into
relative insignificance.
"It is hardly necessary for
me to remind you that that that
union is fully conscious of its
power."
Despite the Taft-Hartley pro
visions intended "to curb abuses
of that power, not only as it
exists in the Teamsters, but in
every other labor organization.
Denham said, "we still have a
long way to go before what
seems to be the congressional in
tent will be realized."
