At that time, the estimated cost of the water treatment plant was approximately $117,000. Due to increased cost of ma terials and labor, the propos ed filter system at this time is estimated to cost about $130,000. The estimate is based on an assumed popula tion growth of the city on a 25-year basis. The estimate cost includes installation of meters at each home. The bonding company demands that meters be in stalled at each' home to guar antee the principal and inter est of a bond issue. Engineering Report An engineering report made by the Corvallis firm on the water treatment facilities is at the city recorder's office where citizens may see it. City Superintendent Floyd Taylor reported that 15 pounds of chlorine were nec essary to purify the water supply Aug. 3. This, he said, is nearly the capacity of the chlorinator machine. Taylor said there is an excessive amount of algae in the Rogue river. Mayor Milton Steinmetz said that due to the Rogue river being low and the water warm, quality has become a problem. He added that citi zens of Gold Hill are entitled to know the extent of contam ination before the water is chlorinated for domestic use. Councilman Delos Walker said the problem will be ex plained to local residents so they will be informed con cerning the reasons for the proposed water treatment sys tem. Stat Surreys Steinmetz commented that state analysis surveys taken at regular intervals of the Rogue river show that consid eration of a water treatment system is important, and a future necessity for the city. He said reports taken by Ted Gerow, Grants Pass, district representative for the state health department, are avail able to those interested. Roderick pointed out that probably the council is more familiar with the water shed and supply than other people. He said the increased popula tion, number of homes and the expanding industry along Rogue river decreases the wa ter supply, which presents the problem of health protection through treatment of the wa ter supply. As the quality of the water gets poorer, he said, it is not a complicated procedure with chemicals to filter it to main tain health and have good tasting clear water. He added that excessive amounts of al gae growing in the water dur ing different seasons of the year are not dangerous. How ever, it does present a taste problem. Pumping Tim Steinmetz said that when the 1956 survey was taken, figures were taken at the pow er house on water pumping time to determine the maxi mum amount of water pump ed into city mains by the cement company. He said it was necessary to do this to determine the capacity of a filter plant. The estimated minimum flat meter rate will have to be based on the maximum gal lons of water pumped to as sure the principal and interest of 4 Vt to 5 rer cent on an anticipated 25-year bond is sue since there is no way of knowing the amount of water used. Roderick said information indicates that the city would have to set an estimated flat meter rate of at least $5 to $5.50. Rat Schedule The cost of each gallon of water used more than the cubic feet allowed on the flat meter rate would be deter mined by a rate schedule per gallon. Approximately 750 to 800 cubic feet of water per month would be included in flat meter rate. Seven and one-half gallons of water equals one cubic foot. Each consumer would be allowed about 200 gallons of water per day at the estimated flat me ter rate. The cost per gallon vfeuld start after the amount allowed under the flat rate is reached, and each consumer would be charged according to amount used. The flat meter rate will be based on winter time domestic use, and does not include the cost of any outside watering. Council members said open hose users and those who have been accustomed to wast ing water would have to dis continue the practices or pay for each gallon of water wasted. Minimum Cost Councilman Fred Lester said the minimum cost of the flat meter rate has to be set at aJigure to assure payment of tSe bonding interest. Addi tionaT funds would be used for operational expenses of the water treatment plant, which would include the cost of lime, alum, chlorine, pow er, and a m.an to maintain me ters and disposal plant. Former owners of the ce ment plant, now owned and operated by the Ideal Cement company, agreed to pump the required amount of city water from Rogue river to the reservoirs without charge in exchange for property formal ly owned by the city, where the hydroelectric plant is lo cated. The only expense the city has is cost of chlorination and a man to operate the chlorinator machine. Steinmetz said he wanted the people to fully understand the advantages available in having the proposed plant and meters estimated at $130,000, compared to the economical water supply which is now provided. Present Plan Under the present setup there is a charge of $1 for each additional lot irrigated during May, June, July and August. There is no restric tion on the amount of water a consumer may use. The cur rent monthly water fee is $3. Citizens will have an oppor tunity to ask questions at a public hearing, which prob ably will be held in Septem ber. At that time, Archie Rice will be present to explain the bond issue and the proposed water treatment system thor oughly. City officials have invited Gerow to attend the meeting. Tentative plans to present a bond issue to the people for the water treatment system will be determined by the general opinion of residents attending the public hearing. TRAFFIC SYSTEM B OARED Torin, Poland -DPD- Traffic planners discovered they had done their work better than they expected Tuesday night. Four wild boars scampered into town and scattered pedes trians off the streets. The boars finally ran back into the woods after being scared by traffic lights. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Q Wednesday, Aug. 12, 1959 Communists Said Easing Practices In Communes Taipei-fliPD-Capitalistic prac tices still lurk in Communist China's mass labor communes. National, Chinese officials report that the Reds have wat ered down some of the pure Marxism they attempted to in ject into their revolutionary experiment with human labor. The Sixth Department (mainland intelligence) of For mosa's ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) told United Press International the Com munists have retreated from their goals to the extent that they: Permit commune hus bands and wives to live to gether. Pay some commune mem bers for part of their labor. Encourage commune workers to engage in such fields as handicrafts and rais ing livestock. Permit communes to bart er among themselves for tools and other equipment which the government was supposed to provide. . Showcase Campi The full-dress commune system-the epitome of "womb to tomb" socialism-is being practiced in only a few show case camps, according to Ku omintang officials who 'are studying life behind the bam-1 boo curtain. But the Communists still plan to convert all China to pure communes, the Kuomin tang says. The Kuomintang believes that Peiping failed in its orig inal attempt to carry out with whiplash speed what would be one of the most far-reaching social revolutions ever con ceived by man. The Communists, in the Formosa view, slowed down because they were plagued by inadequate transportation and breakdowns in agricultural and industrial production plans. Farmers Not Happy Also, farmers were not hap py over the prospect of being uprooted from their ancestral land, the Kuomintang says. So the Reds retreated a few steps and allowed commune members more private deal ings than originally intended. Small salaries, usually less than one dollar a month, were paid to allow commune farm ers to purchase clothes, veg etables and meat when the government could not supply them. Dormitories in which hus bands and wives were suppos ed to live apart except for an hour or so every two weeks have not been built in most communes, and married coup les continue to live at home. But the Kuomintang be lieves that Peiping views these "capitalistic" practices as temporary expedients. The Nationalists consider them unimportant because the Communists' ultimate goal, the Nationalists insist, remains -the same: convert all China into a mass labor camp.
