CENTRAL PT. GIVES
UP SEWAGE PLAN
Central Point has abandoned the
plan to oonatruet a sewage disposal
plant and the project has been put
ott indefinitely.
Originally the city had contem
plated building the plant for $12,000
under WPA financing but the govern
ment agency demurred because of the
large amount of materials required in
relation to labor. When that difficul
ty was overcome an engineer estima
ted that the. plant would cost 18,
000 but the figure was found too low
by the WPA which estimated the cost
would be 3,000.
Because. of the high cost and the
necessity of submitting detailed plans
and specifications to the Portland
WPA office by January 18, the city
council decided to abandon the pro
ject.
