Library, U of 0 VERNONIA. COLUMBIA COUNTV. OREGON VOLUME 30, NUMBER 21 Sanitarian Recommended By County Health Group Appointmant of a sanitarian f' r the county health depart ment was favored by the Colum. b a county health council at its r. eting May 12. according to Frances L. Gallatin, council sec retary. It is anticipated that a sani tarian for Columbia county would take ov?r many duties which were formerly the responsibility of the county health officer. I .der the present arrangements Dr. J. B. Steward. St. Helens, is • rving as public health officer, but the time he has available ci es not permit him to carry on v y of the work such as would b' performed by a sanitarian. These duties include insp etion anj technical assistance in res taurant and food handling estab- Valley Workers Add to 4-H Dorm The sub-siding was put on the 4 *1 dormitory at the county fair- 1 ->unds on Sunday, May 18, by a group of work.rs from the N-. halem Valley. Although this was the special “Nehalem Valley work day,” tl esc who wer’ unable to get out and work will be welcome to t me at any of the work days. Those who spent the day work- irg on the dormitory included V- and Mrs. Noble Dunlap, C. E. F.ckley, H. J Dimbat, Mr. and N’s Aldon Ashley and family <• d Clint Seibert and sons. The n.xt work days scheduled ; e Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25. Lost Man Found In River Thurs. The body of Stanl’y Johnson v ,.-s found in the Nehalem river Thursday ty his uncle, Gus Wan- s;rom. The river had been drag- g d several times and a con i' ant vigil by relatives and friends bad been carried on seeking his b’dy. It was not known actually t • :t he was drowned, but it st ned the only solution to his c appearance. He had mad’ his home most of y s life with his aunt. Mrs. Stone- f: dt, of Birkenfeld.

Louis Larson post of the •* Terican Legion had charge of t* services at the cemetery. lishments, garbage and sewage disposal, water supplies, school sanitation, and rod nt and insect* control. Arrangements in most county health departments in Oregon provide that this work be don? by a sanitarian. The 17 people present at th? council meeting r -presented 13 county organizations. The great est need at present in setting up a county health department wa agre ‘d to be that of obtaining a county health nurse. On this basis th - recommended health d partment would be a health nurse and a sanitarian. These workers would be under the supervision of a locally appoint ed health officer. The value of a health surv*y of th - county to determine the ac tual health conditions and needs was discussed. Mrs. Earl Chart ray, council chairman, appointed th? following committee to study a simple survey, to be considered at th’ next meeting of th? coun cil: Mrs. Marshall Hjelte, chair man. Dr. R. F. Day, and W. G. Nibler. Tne n xt meeting of the coun cil will be held at the courthouse on Monday, June 9 beginning at 8:00 p.m. All interested per sons are invited to attend.

MAY 22. 1452 ■ Win Marks First Use of New Field Council Told Details About Sewage Plant Engineer Outlines Suggested Procedure For Financing Plan City councilmen heard a pre liminary outline of the procedure that should be followed in fin ancing and carrying out the con struction of a s-wage disposal syst.m and disposal plant Mon day evening from S. A. Ross, engineer, who has been employ, ed here in other construction work. The council had previously asked th engineer to appear with information that would give a., idea of th’ cost of such a project. He presented a general outline of the procedure that would b? followed to provide sewag - dis posal for Corey hill, a disposal plant to replace the on? now in use and a method of financing the cost of th? work. Mr. Ross informed the council that the state sanitary authority plans to make a check of the Nehalem river late this summer and that there was littl? doubt that the need for a new disposal plant would be indicated by that survey. It was pointed out that no de finite figure of cost for the work could be arriv d at until an en gineering survey and plans for the project had been completed, but that in the case of other similar work the cost averag d $300 per connected user. He indicated that bonding com panies favored bonds backed by payments pledged from part of the water revenues plus a sewer use charge. Sewer use charges in other cities in Oregon vary from $1.50 to $2.50 per month, the average charge being $1.60. Mr. Ross suggested that the coucil authorize an engineering survey of the syst’m ne ded for Corey hill and preparation of plans for the disposal plant as a start of the program. Such a survey would cost $1600 the coun cil was informed. Further con sideration of the proposal will probably be made at a future meeting. The question of how wide the street should be prevented plac ing a call for bids for the job of constructing curbs on A street. Property owners on A street east of State street petitioned the council to form an improvement district to take care of the work, but the width to allow for street was not definite and the council referred the matt’r back to the property owners there to decide. When the desired width is de cided. Mr. Ross will be asked to survey the location for the curbs and prepare specifications as a basis for requesting bids for the work. The council approved the sale of a lot on Third street to Ralph Church for $50 and ended the meeting by examining a pre liminary draft of the city budget to cover income and expenditures during the coming fiscal year. The annua) budget committee me-ting when next year's budget will be definitely figured, was set for Monday, May 26.
