In answer to complaint filed with
the Railroad Commission by H. N.
Dryer and others protesting against
hoboes and loafers hanging about the
station of the o. r. & N. Co., at Una
tilla, the company says that the Una
tilla officials should take this matter
in hand and in force the loafers and
hoboes to desist from lettering about
the premises. The railroad company
stated, however, that they would com
municate with the Umatilla petition
ers and claimants and arrange to
keep the undesirable" class away
from the station as much as possible.

REPORT OF ENGINEERS
ON SALEM WATER PLANT
Board of Appraisers Publish FgreS-Engneer CuverS Es-
innate on Cost of Mountain Water.

The report of the engineers ap-
pointed to estimate the value of the
Salem Water Company's plant was
made public last night at the meet
ing of the city council. J. H. Cum
ningham was named by the city, II.
L. Donald for the water company
and John H. Lewis, state water en-
gineer for the state, The two first
named made independent estimates,
and then the inventories were COM
pared and gone over by Mr.. Lewis,
with the following result, showing
the net valuation, as the opinion Of
the experts:
Mr.. j. H. Cunningham $401, ,426
Mr.. r. L. Donald ....... 433,745
$845,171
Award one-half -. $422, $50
Outstanding bonds ....... $4,000
$297,58u
Methods of ascertaining values in
seventeen cities were gone over, to
ascertain the most equitable basis OF
valuing the property, with the follow
ing factors considered:
/. Ratio of award to cost of re
production, 1.5.
2. Award per capita of popula-
tion, $37.52.
8. Ratio OF net annual income to
award So per cent.
The value of the plant of the Sa'
lem Water Company, If figured on
first basis, would be:
Cost of reproduction, $37S,62S
multiplied by 1.5, 567,942.
On second basis, with population
for Salem of 14,500; 14,500 multi
piled by $37.52, $544,040.
