The Portland U. S. Army Engin­
eer District has invited bids for
furnishing two pumps for the Mid­
land Drainage district on the lower
Columbia river, about one mile
downstraem from Clatskanie in
Columbia county.
Colonel William J. Talbott, dis­
trict engineers, said bids will be
opened at 2 p.m. April 28 in 628
Pittock block. Completion time is
six months. The pumps must be
designed, manufactured and de­
livered freight on board to the U.
S. government moorings at the
south end of the St. Johns bridge
in Portland.
The pumps will be installed in a
new pumping station which will re­
place two existing pump stations.
The army engineers plan to open
bids in late May for reinforcing the
drainage district’s seven-mile long
levee. Some 15,140 cubic yards of
levee, embankment from borrow
will be required, and the existing
tide box will be removed.
Improvements to the project will
be accomplished under authority
of the Flood Control Act of 1950,
army engineers said.
