Mission Group
Gets Option
On Quarters
Haven for Homeless
Head Tells of Plans
To Get Building
The Union Gospel Mission, a
haven for homeless men in Salem,
has acquired an option to purchase
the two-story buildings housing its
quarters at 345 North Commercial
St., Superintendent George Si
monka has announced.
The purchase price, he said, has
bee set at $47,500 wtih a down
payment of $10,000 required.
Simonka said the down payment
on the building is due on March
1 and it is probable that individ
uals and groups will be requested
to make contributions toward the
fund.
The mission, which feeds an av
erage of 1,215 men a month and
provides sleeping facilities for an
average of 660 transients, was es
tablished lour years ago.
Simonka said the mission now
rents both the mission facilities
and a mission-operated store on
Chemeketa street for $220 a month.
This, he said, was the equivalent
to the monthly payments hich
would be required if the building
were purchased; once the down
payment was made.
The mission has been negotiating
with Max Gehlar, Salem, owner of
th building.

Request Seeks
State Share of
Federal Power
The state water resources com
mittee has been requested to aid
Oregon in getting its fair share
of power from future federal pro
jects built in the northwest.
Former Senate President Eu
gene E. Marsh, McMinnville, rep
resenting public and private util
ities, made the request and asked
the board to develop a plan to
harness state streams.
State Handicapped
Oregon is handicapped, he told
the board at its monthly meeting
Monday afternoon, because it has
fewer power sites than do border
ing states.
"The answer," Marsh declared
"lies in obtaining for Oregon a fair
and equitable allocation of power
from federal projects in uie Co
lumbia river basin."
Marsh pointed out that Oregon
utilities will get 31 per cent of
power developed on the Priest
Rapids dam on the Columbia river
to be built by the Grant County,
Wash. Public Utility district.
Other Allocations Sought
Similar allocations from future
federal projects should be ob
tained, and Marsh urged the board
to take the lead in obtaining them.
"Careful planning is necessary
in order U obtain wise and order
ly development," Marsh added.
"And that responsibility rests with
this board."
He said his appearance was
made only to assure the board
that the utility industry is ready
and willing to cooperate in plan
ning wise use of Oregon'! water
resources.
Marsh said he represented city
owned power systems in McMinn
ville, Forest Grove, Eugene, Mil-
