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.

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

night and maintained their record

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
