McKay Appeals For
Farm Safety
Governor Douglas McKay, sup
porting national proclamation of
Farm Safety Week for July* 23
to July 29, today declared the
same period as OREGON FARM
SAFETY WEEK.
Governor McKay issued this
statement:
“Oregon farmers, and farm
workers are being killed, maim
ed or otherwise hurt at «a rate
alarming to those who want this
state to progress safely toward
new records of agricultural and
industrial production.
“May I emphasize that claims
filed with the Industrial Acci
dent commission
for covered,
farm firms or farmers for the
calendar year 1949 ranked sev
enth in volume among the
25
hazardous industrial categories
of Oregon.
“The theme of Oregon Farm
Safety Week— to learn
and to
obey Farm Safety rules— could
not be a better instructional
guide for farmers and farm
workers to follow during Oregon
Farm Safety Week, nor for the
year to come.
“Let us make Oregon a better
place to live and a safer place to
farm.”
SMUT IXiHHHH HUGE
Moro Has To
Revise Plans;
Money Short
- The city of Moro found itself
in trouble this week when its
officials were informed that the
bond issue of $15,000 which
the voters had, passed June 2
could not be issued in entirely.
Total possible indebtedness of
the city for street or drains is
$11,321. Inasmuch as $3000 worth
of bonds are already in existences
for that purpose the total amount
of the $15,000 that may be issued
would be $8321.
The opinion
was from John W. Shuler.
The council Monday night Re
vised previous plans in the hope
that it may be possible to get
the drainage problem solved
in a manner that will work even
if not so satisfactorily as was
plapned when more funds seem
ed available.
t
w
It- was decided to order a
galvanized iron tube for the
crossing of First street It will
be 52 feet long, 16 feet wide at
the bottom and 101 feet high,
having a capacity of 138 square
feet. (The old tunnel had about
64 square feet opening.) The
city will install the tube and dig
a ditch of such size as funds
permit.
Problem of getting the sewer
line under the ditch may be solv
ed by a vacuum system now in
use in some Oregon towns and
which would permit those on
the southeast side of the new
ditch to continue use of the
sewer.
Cost would be $4000 for the
big pipe, an estamted $1000 for
head walls and installation, $500
for the sewer connection leaving
some $2500 for digging the ditch.
This is approximately half the
amount estimated
by several
contractors.
The city has some money from
sale of the old Legion • hall to -
B .. H. Roberson for $2000.
If the job is done in the now
proposed manner and at or near
the estimated figures it will
not be so complete nor so good
a one as originally discussed by
the city. But it should come clos?
to the sum the city may bond
for the purpose of streets and
drains and might be satisfactory.
