Newspaper Page TextMONDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE TWO East Side Site For Sewerage Plant Backed By Engineers By MAX WAICIIOI'E The plans lor the expansion nd Improvement of the Klamaih Falls sewerage system were approved, and an 800,000 bond issue asked, by the city council last week. The council asked the bond Is tue alter many years ol study and the plans lor the seweraiie y.-stem improvement are based on two reports compiled by John W. Cunningham and Associates. Port land rniiincering consulting firm. The Cunningham company has acted as consulting engineers on tewerage, and other city projects, lor many municipalities In the Northwest. The plans for the two trunk sew erage lines have been discussed In past articles appearing In the Her ald and News last week. One trunk would run from a point near Paint er and Del Moro streets In Hot Springs Addition to near Owens nnd Shasta Way at the south city limits. Tills line would relieve the strain on the lines of all that por tion of the city lying east of the Southern Pacllic railroad lines and marshaling yard. The other trunk would connect with this one at the stuth city limits and run to the site of Hie proposed new treatment plant along the SP tracks to where Hilyard Avenue would cross the track if extended. ItKCO.M.MK.NDATIO.V The Cunningham report analyzes the reasons behind picking this lo cation for the new treatment plant. Jt recommended placing the new plant on the east side of Klamath River with a siphon line running under the river from the present treatment plant which Is located on the west side of the river near the Great Northern railroad bridge. The present treatment plant would then act as a pumping station to pump the sewerage from the lines serving the west side of town. Although the Hilyard A"enue site Is on marshy land, the engineer ing firm feels that pilings or foun dations sufficient to hold the plant can be built without exorbitant cost. The cost' of pilings, or foun dations such as rock or gravel, has been Included In the cost of the plant. The city now owns the land on which the present treatment plant la located but the plant is obsolete and Inadequate by mod ern standards, m has been stated before. The Oregon Slate Sanitary Authority has warned the city that under present conditions some sol ids and foam are being dumped Into the river. It has ordered that this be stopped as soon as prac ticable. AtWIKKMKNT All engineering authorities agree that It would be Just as costly to modernize the old plant as to build a new one. Also, the old plant, when modernized, would still not be as good as a new one. With this in mind, the east side site was recommended by the Cunningham linn. 71io engineering consultants state If the Hilyard Avenue site proves too marshy (lie plant site could be moved to drier ground on the east side still along the railiond tracks. The city has yet to pur chase any land for a site. That would be done If the city's voters approve the bond Issue in the May 18 primary. The proposed new plant would be built large enough to handle a population of 30,000. On January 1, 1050 a state census estimate slated that 18.000 persons resided inside the city limits. City offi cials Ircl that within 10 years the population of the city Inside the cily limits would reach 30.000. It has been pointed out that a plant capable of handling 30.000 popula tion would cost relatively little more than one tor only 20.000. The basic units needed remain Jhe same, the engineers state. DOORS OPEN 6rSO P.M. The new plant would be con structed so that II the population to be served ever exceeded 30.000 increments could be added to han dle this greater 'population. Most modern sewerage treatment plants ire built with this long-range view in mind. With a modern and properly op erated sewerage treatment plant the odors would be practically negligible, the engineers said. With a -distance of a mile and a half from the nearest business and resi dential district, it can be predicted with assurance that there will nev er be any serious odor problem from east side site. The west side plant is somewhat clostr to mo tels and residences. The 1800,000 bond issus would be repayed over a 20 year period. Un official figures show Uist this would mean a tax levy of 4.44 mills for the first year. This would de crease slightly each year as the principal was repaid. The first year this would mean a payment of 18.03 on a property valued at lio.ooo. It has been stated by civic lead ers and city officials that the Im proved sewerage system and new treatment plant are needed if Uie cuy Is to experience any real growth in the next decade.

Park Plan Meet Held PORTLAND Ifl Members of a governor's Investigating committee Indicated Saturday they are think ing of a compromise settlement for the dispute on whether to take state parks away from the High way commission. They questioned a number of witnesses In a hearing here on their feeling about creation of a state parks advisory committee under the Highway Commission. Proponents of a plan to create a separate parks commission were skeptical. Some said it might - be worth trying, but others thought an advisory group would not be enough. Parks now are administered hv the Highway Commission. Critics said the commission does not have the time nor the Inclination to give proper attention to parks. Thev advocated an Independent narks commission. The Investigating committee, set Stock Liquidation Sal Now in Progress Art-Needlework 412 Main N Ph. Call..

' 1 I 1 UNITED Charles E. Newton, executor of Miss Cecelia Schroeder's estate, told Sunday night about stumbling Into a hidden room while making an Inventory of the house's furnish ings. The room was cluttered with boxes and other Items. Newton picked up one box and the top flew open. Inside was 14.460 In present-day $100. (50, S20 and 5 bills, gold watches and chains, $300 In old gold coins. $100 In gold certifi cates, a handful of old silver looking 2-cent and 3-cent U.S. corns of the Civil War period, and a few old nickels and Indian-head pennies. The value of the old coins or of other antiques In the Schroedy home has not been determined. They will be added to Cecelia Schroeder's estate, most of which will be used to support Protestant and Catholic orphanages. Other boxes disclosed frilly, and romantic valentines addressed to the sisters in 1906 old magazines, the hide of a pet cow they kept on their 6't acres of land, and numerous other Items the sisters had collected. The house lacked running water or a oainroom. Newton found the secret room as he was completing an inventory of items In a bedroom. He pushed aside a dresser to see if anything had fallen to the floor behind it and discovered a curtain and a glass door, leading to the room of treasures.
