THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1955 Sewage Problems Efevieived At Chamber Forum Meeting By MAX WAUCHOPE T. M. Oerow. Southern Oregon district engineer of the State Sani tary Authority, suggested that the Klamath County Court compile a master plan for the sewage dis posal of Klamath Falls and its sub urbs at a forum Wednesday noon. The recommendation was made at a forum on sanitation and heaitli held in the Winema Hotel, spon sored by the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce. This master plan could be pre pared under authority of Oregon House of Representatives Bill No. 603, passed, by the last Legisla ture. The law gives the county courts authority to adopt a master plan for disposal of sewage from In corporated and unincorporated areas and to tax the districts for their cost and maintenance. The 1955 Legislature passed 15 laws dealing with sanitary prob lems, Gerow stated. Among these laws was House Bill 531 which gives the county courts authority to construct, maintain and operate. sanitary plants in district not in corporated, without the vole of the people. Law 631 allows these plants and systems to be financed by a re volving fund fed by sewage charg es. properly assessments and the levying of a property tax of 2 muis, tor not to exceed five years, on all the county's real property not in Incorporated cities. In reviewing the stand of the State Sanitary Authority on the problems in the ' Klamath Falls area, Cerow said the state has been cognizant of the situation since 1940. The sanitarian said that septic tanks are only a temporary means of solving the problem and that tne ultimate solution Is one of the community systems. The formation of a municipality. or the annexation of the fringe area, 'was suggested by Cerow as a possible answer. He also said that some suburban areas have formed independent sanitary districts.

Yarm Trend Hits Coast By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The nation's weather showed only minor changes today, with most areas from the Rockies to the Atlantic Seaboard cool and a warming trend continuing in the Western States and most of the South. Temperatures in the cool belt were in the 30s and 40s this morn in the 20s In Pennsylvania, and be low 20 in the higher elevations of the Appalachians. The Pacific Coast states were warmer with temperatures in the 50s and 60s after yesterday's marks In the 70s and 80s. Most areas west of the Continental Di vide were lo to 15 degrees above normal. It was 72 this morning at Red Bluff, in northern California, after a high of 88 yesterday. It was also mild weather in cen tral and Southern Florida while tlu cold snap over Texas weakened. It was 77 this morning at Key West and 70 at Miami. A disturbance in the eastern Gulf of Mexico brought locally hea-vy rains in central and northern Flor ida during the night. More than one Inch of rain fell at Daytona Beach and Orlando In six hours. in Tuesday's state and local con test, the Democrats immediately began appraising their gains as signs of things to come in the 1956 presidential and congression al, elections. . Rep. .Michael J. Kirwan (Ohio), chairman of the Democratic Congressional- Campaign Committee, said Tuesday's voting Indicated that the Democrats would Increase their house majority by more than 30 votes In 1956. That would mean a net pickup of more than 15 seats now held by Republicans. Democratic managers '.are count ing on a pickup of two to five seats in Indiana where their party made tremendous gains In munici pal elections this week. As of now, Democrats also are hopeful of gaining two or more house seats in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Connecticut and Cali fornia. Tuesday's results also gave Democratic hopes a boost for un seating Republican senators next year in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana. Butler comment ed that the Philadelphia election means that "storm signals are cer tainly up" .for Sen. James H. Duff (R-Pa), whose term expires next year. Other political developments: 1. Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore) said he believes that Republicans urging President Elsenhower to run again, despite his heart attack. are putting "partisan considera tions above - humane considera tions." 2. Chief Justice Earl Warren as sured a long-time friend that un der no circumstances would he leave the Supreme Court to 1 re sume political life. He has been mentioned as a GOP presidential possibility if President Eisenhow er decides not to seek a second term. He made the remarks to Dan L. Beebe, editor and publish er of the Oroville (Calif.) Mercury- ATATURK , ANNIVERSARY ISTANBUL, LB All Turkey stopped work for five minutes Thursday to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the death of Kamal Ataturk, founder, of the Turkish Republic. Initialing formation of sewage dis tricts, said Gerow.. Recent state legislation has. given the county courts the mechanics to solve the problem Senate Bill 153 clarifies the steps by which county courts-can initiate formation of sewage districts. . The financing of sanitary dis tricts is outlined in Senate Bill 334 which sets a bonding debt limit of 13 per cent of the actual value of all property in the district. A sanitary district may be formed by resolution of a county court on receipt of a unanimous petition by the residents of the district without an election under Senate Bill 275. The county courts can form a sanitary district without a petition on certification by a health- offi cer, or sanitary authority, that a sewage problem exists through House BUI 503. Metropolitan sanitary districts can be formed by incorporated and unincorporated areas under Senate Bill 434. A sanitary board of five members and a manager would govern the district exclusive of the city council. Dr. Seth Kerron, county health officer, outlined the historical back ground of the sewage problems of Klamath Falls and Its suburbs prior to Gerow's talk. A serious sewage and pollution problem exists today in the south suburban area, Dr. Kerron report ed. He said that 2,500 Inoculations were given last year for typhoid fever- when several cases of the fever were detected in the subur ban area. In 1954, 60 cases of ' Infectious hepatitis were reported and Dr. Kerron said that about 50 have been reported from that area this year, with six cases recently. The health officer stressed the fact that the area is a potential breeding ground for epidemics and urged that something be done to alleviate the situation. The forum was held under the direction of chamber director Bob Henry and Floyd Wynne moder ated the event.
