Library, U of O VOLUME 31, NUMBER 42 New Building Proposed for Post Office Location at Corner Of Second, Maple Held by Option 10c COPY VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON Land Transfer Vote to Take Place November 10 The high school district board of directors, at their Tuesday evening meeting, decided upon the dat? of an election when a decision will be made concerning the transfer of a small parcel of property located between the grad? and high school. Official publication of a notice of the election is scheduled later this month. Need for the trans fer arises because the land is being used by district 47 as a playground for primary grade youngsters, but ownership is held by the high school district. The land measures 120 fret by 460 feet. Board members were informed Tuesday of an error in construc tion of storm sewer drains which now prevents emptying of roof drainage from th? new building into the storm sewers recently installed along the new sidewalk. The original plan called for piping the roof drains into the storm sewer catch basins, but no allowance was made for ad mitting the water below the lewd of the s wer grates as originally planned and to make the change now will require the breaking up of at least part of the new storm sewer catch basins. Work rrmaming this fall for the front of the structure is the I planting of a hedge along the I walk and shrubs along th? build i J ing, fill work along the frontage , where the walk does not extend | to the curbing and construction of flower beds beside th? walk leading into the building.

Work Outlined For Fund Drive Legion Bills Women Wrestlers Authority on State Bonds Doubts Issue Sewer Use Revenue Said Insufficient To Meet Repayment Another set-back in the city plan to finance and construct a sewer system for Corey Hill and a sewage disposal plant for the entire town arose earlier this week when a letter was received by Recorder Sam Hearing from Fred H. Paulus, secretary of the stat? bond commission. The commission had recently been supplied with the engineer ing report prepared earlier this year by N. W. Haner and As sociates outlining the proposed sewer system and disposal plant as well as the probable cost and a method of repayment of bonds and interest for the money that would be needed to do the job. The commission’s letter indicated I doubt ¡hat the sewer use charge I would b? sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest and that a pledge of water re venues as well as sewer revenues would be required to make the repayment-plan wholly self-sup porting. Also indicated was the belief i of the commission that water system revenues could not be u cd to m£et the deficiency. An attempt will be made to ex plain the proposed plan more ful ly to the commission by City Attorney Carrell F. Bradley and Hearing at a meeting for which they were seeking a dat? Tuesday afternoon.

OCTOBER 15. 1> Third Win for Loggers Listed Friday Night Indian« Draw Srr<-'11 End of 14-0 Score For Visit Here Coach Bill Vlci'k's Vernon i Loggers made it three in a row on the home field last Friday night and maintained their record of having no defeats handed them on the local turf whin they m»‘. and downed a fighting tribe Indians from Scappoose 14-0 ini a sloppy, wet field. Fumbles played hob with both teams throughout the game with the Indians suffering four ar.J the Loggers seven. The start ing minutes of the first quart went bang as far as the visiting tribe was concerned. The Log gers fumbled the first time th / got their hands on the ball o-i their own 15 with the visitors recovering. PENALTIES HELP Penalties then came to the a J of the locals, driving the ball all the way back to the 47 where th ■ Indians were forced to kick. A hard-charging Vernonia I i n * blocked the kick and took over there. Once again bad luck ap peared in the form of a fumbt* with an Indian recovery. The res’ of the quarter was strictly a de fensive battle between the tw . squads. Second quarter play was slow until the final minutes when the Indians drove to th? local's 25 where they fumbl 'd with th ■ Loggers recovering. The Vernonia eleven took th? ball from that point and drove it all the way downfield to the visitor's 25. Half play ended with a pass intercep tion by the Indians on their own one-yard strip •. A haul of $125 was the take of a masked thief who held up the service station located near Pitts burg at the St. Helens road junction last Wednesday even ing. The robbery took place about 6:45 p.m. according to police in formation, which also indicates few clues upon which to base a search. Only definite informa tion obtained was that the thief wore a red shirt and whipcord trousers. More di finite information that i may lead to their apprehension was obtained for several hunters who are thought to have taken articles from Hahn Hardware Sunday when the store was open ed as a convenience to one of the LOWER COLUMBIA LEAGUE m n who requested a deer tag.
