Citizens Study
Financing For
Sewer System
Charged with the responsibil
ity of developing sewage disposal
plan may be presented to the
system within
the Beaverton
area, a seven-man committee of
citizens are presently acting on
a petition presented to the city
council which requests an elect
ion on this issue in the near
future.
Three meetings by the group,
so far, have given them a good
background of information for
the task and, according to R. C.
Doty, former city recorder, the
tentative financing schedule i

the public.

At present, • dealing with the
many phases of sewage disposal,
the committee includes Dr. H. E.
Mason, J. L. McKeel, Ray Clear-

“ I believe," Stevenson declare-,
"that 1 have the best answer to

Setvenson estimates his build
ing costs as: foundation, $125,
heating $100; exterior, roof and
partitions. $1350; plumbing $500:
wiring $125 and interior finish
of plaster board $125; for a to
tal of $2325. Contractors’ esti
mates for the identical structure
range from $4000 to $6000 plus
fee.
Secret for such unusually low
building cost, according to Ste
venson is in the method of con
struction as well as the type
of material used.
The unit will come to the A l
oha building site precut in four
by eight foot panels, the ex
terior materials coming from Co-
quille. Oregon. Panels are <>f
kiln-dried lumber, sized two b\
six and eight feet in length.
Boards are double-grooved with
a two-inch tongue known to the
lumber trade as “ Spllnecraft."
Windows and doors are fitted,
hung and mortised for locks.
Entire structure is dipped in a
special sealing liquid that serves
as a prime coat.
Stevenson invites the public to
come and kihitz at the house-
raising and particularly urges
GI’s with housing headaches to
come out to Aloha and watch
this important housing test.
