Confidence in Kellcy
'The sewer advisory committee and the council. met
ItuA' evening and discussion of the engineering problem
reeved itself down to whether or not the council and the
committee have confidence in City Engineer C. C. Kolley
to' J'ut in the project.
j jThat may seejn rather a blunt way to put it; but it is
tha way the matter shaped up at the meeting. Sanitary
Engineer Kennedy of California has a bid in for the work
at per cent. When the city engineer was pressed for
a jfroposition of the city doing the work with its engineer
ing department and hiring what consulting engineering
tajtnt is necessary at a per diem rate, Mr. Kelley stated
thtftvork could be done for less than Mr. Kennedy's bid.
Kellcy explained that Kennedy's bid iS npt too high for
arj: out-of-town man, but he contended that use of. the
citllJ organization and home labor and home. talent
whjrever possible, would give a saving to' the - city:
Kefl'ey asserts the city can do the work for five and a
ha per cent, as against the Kennedy bid of six per cent.
j -The advisory committee and the city council want to
pul this plant in at the least cost possible to taxpayers,
beijg sure throughout that a satisfactory job will be
done. ,
'.That fact is established without a doubt. It was so
staged in the bond campaign. It was a pledge.
To analyze the matter down to the last degree: ' Ken
nedy, the California engineer, will do the work for six
percent of the cost; the city can do the work with its
engineering department, home labor and with a consult
ing? sanitary engineer to be paid as he is used, for less
than Kennedy offers to do the work.
'This brings us down to the community's confidence
in Kelley and to the confidence of the committee and the
council members in Kelley.
.'Who is Kelley?
(("Charlie" Kelley, as he is
throughout the state, is rated well in engineering circles.
He was with the state highway department for years
when that commission was spending the big portion of the
forty millions of dollars on Oregon highways. His work
was to blaze the trail, as it were, for there were no roads
in the state at that time. His work has stood the test.
Asn engineer Kelley is among the good ones. .The pres
ent city administration has confidence in him as its city
engineer, and will be in safe hands if it decides to build
the, sewer project under Kelley's supervision.
Building the proposed sewer is not a mysterious job
that requires anything but common engineering sense
aricj supervision by a first-class engineer of experience.
The re is a good deal of error in thinking because we have
a large undertaking before us that we must seek foreign
tajgnt for the job. Portland used to do that very thing.
The business element there felt when they had a, lot of
mpjiey to spend on an improvement they must send east
and get a man. But they have found they were mis
taken, and today City Engineer Lauragaard of Portland
isjiindertaking for that city the biggest engineering prob
lem' Portland has ever had namely, the building of a
seuf Wall on the Willamette -river to reclaim all the prop
erty, from First street to the river. A few years ago Port
land would have sent to Boston or New York for en
gineering talent, but no more.
i, Klamath Falls has a big improvement in the making.
Sufcly, none of us want to make any mistakes, but when
ChHie Kelley says the work can be done at a saving
oVcr' the bid we'believe him. "

U. K ilougen. postul inspector
of Kugcne.
. In rapidly growing cities, the
postal department of the govern
ment calls for a survey every
few years, so that the depart
ment might keep in Immediate)
touch with the situation. The
last survey of Klauiath Kails
was made in 1924.
With the rapid Increase in pop
ulation, new territories are con
stantly being added to the postal
carriers route, often necessitating
additional carriers.
As a result of the recent sur
vey it is possible one additloanl
regular carrier will be added In
lieu of an auxiliary route. A
rapid growth In--.-oitJyuig' dis
tricts was noted in the survey
just completed. if"; - '
An Idea of the rapid growth
of the city conuirl' 1th -reports
compiled dur.ng the survey
showing that In ke,;rra.r)of 192-1
the school census of this city
showed a total of 200? while the
19!" census showed a total ct
29S1.
In 1920 the city had 1304 tel
phones while the report for the
year cf 192? showed 2614 phones
installed.
During the year of 1920. 1241
families were listed as users of
lights and water in this city with
an estimated population af S000.
The report for 192? revealed
4000 families were listed m users
of water and lights with an es
timated population of 12.000.
Building receipts amounted to
II. 421.909 for the year of 192.
Of this total 4 71 new residences
were added to the city; 22 Indus
trial buildings and 100 commer
cial dwellings, bringing the total j
permits up to S94.

an expert In the employe of the
railroad.
Occupancy of the station by
June 1, or approximately 30 days
after trains start running from
Bend to Klamith Fans, was pre
dicted by officials of the rail
road. A one-story building which will
serve as a combination passenger
and freight depot of the design
known as Modern American Is
called for In the plans. A large
arched entrance will open Into
the main waiting room while the
exterior will be finished In buff
colored brick trimmed with terra

An attractive finish of tile
flooring a ltd tile walnscoatlng
will be given the interior.
The passenger platform will ex
tend back 200 feet and both the
wailing room and tho baggage
room will open at the rear onto
it. These two rooms will occupy
the central portion of the station
as well as one wing.
The ticket office, telegraphers'
headquarters, freight, express and
superintendent's department will
be In the other wing. The freight
house, 35 by 130 feet, will ex
tend bark fronts tJi'U .section of
the building, wftVlreigh't' tracks

tracks, with the delivery and re
ceiving platform on the opposite

It Is planned to complete the
freight section first. It being con

trains start operating on May 1.
An oil-burning steam beating
plant will provide comfort for
