OREGON. OCT. 14. 1020 SCIO’S CRISIS. t. 1 * t Many people of Scio may not resl- I m that right now Scio is up against a crisis. If it is met as it should be all will be well and good. but if the reverse shall be true, dire results may follow. Iges than one year ago Scio au thorized the issue of $40,WK) l»ond« with which to construct an electric power line from Jordan to Scio Our city council then assumed that the price of labor, food, etc., was at the top notch and that the season of 1920 would lie of the average kind. In this our city dads were deceiv- Labor has been 25 per cent higher and food products on the av erage has made a like advance. Al so. the locating engineer located tha nite for the impounding dam at an Impractical point, and another site, more expensive, had to tie chosen. Alan, it was thought suitable sand could be found in nearby streams with which to mix cement. But instead of plentiful labor at $4 per day, it proved to be scarce at $6; Instead of finding sand in nearby streams, it had to be brought from Portland. When the more expensive site for the dam had to choeen no cement was obtainable, and thio delayed dam construction. When all of these extra and un expected costs were added together, with delays caused by the weather. It was found that the money pro vided would not be enough and an additional sum of $20,(MM) must tie provided in order to complete the work, else the money already ex- pended will be wasted. Of course, aome blame will, ami rightly too, be attached to the man ager. Proper investigation when the eetimate of cost was fixed would have placed the dam where it is now located Thia, undoubtedly, the es timating engineer is to blame for. But for our abnormal season, scar city and higher cost of labor and food, lack of local sand, etc . could not be foreseen by anybody The Tribune well knows that the mana gers, engineer and, in fact every one connected with the work, will be censured Could you have done better if you had had the manage ment of the construction? The fact is these reverse condi tions have c»me and had to be met. The increase of coot could not be ■voided.

Remember, when Oregon it will be if he shall be re the light system was privately owned placed with Bob Stanfield. When John H.
