MARSHPIELD. Sept. 39. (AP)
There was a will to begin Immediate
rebuilding In Bandon today, but the
tern question of finance troubled
oxecutlves of the ruined city.
The city administration was con
fronted by the perplexing problems
fc.of debts, bonds and taxes, but the
general spirit of the hard-hit com
munity was voiced by Mayor Ed Capps
when he said:
"We don't know how we'll meet our
debts, but we'll get organized somehow."
l The municipal power lines were de
Latroyed. but the power plant at Wll
flow Creek was unharmed. The water
r avstem was seriously damaged, but
the reservoir still stood.
Records at the city hall and the
fire station were burned. The city
dock, valued at $25,000. went up in
smoke. A million feet of lumber, be
lieved owned by the Moore lumber
company, was on the dock at the
time of the fire.
"My company had $300,000 Insur
ance here,'" one Bandon agent de
clared. Estimates by adjusters Indicated
that probably 30 per cent of the
actual loss was covered by insurance.
