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
