WHAT WOULD NOT WAFER DO FOR SALEM?

With everything else in favor to build fine city, what
would scientifically pure water supply do for this city?
Salem people who have recently been in Tacoma tell about
water bills there being about oneha what they in Salem
Tacoma considered to have of the worst Of all the city
in the Northwest and graft there said to be ram
pant.
that city has municipal ownership of light and water and
profits to the city of about twenty thousand per
month.
Municipal ownership pure water and good lights and
there every argument in favor of this city taking over the
water plant
The people have odo that and the city council has
enacted the ordinance carry that into effect and stands by
that.
The action of the city taking the water plant would be
guaranty of the determination to have pure water supply at
once.
In spite the unsoved on of this problem the city
of Salem is making but what would do with
water?
No city in the Northwest would feel the impulse of that step
much Salem would and is the thing needed to put
velvet.
Even little Newport and Monmouth solving the problem
of municipality owned pure water and Salem is laughing stock
this matter vital to good and good financing
city.

Spend Thousands to Save Hundreds

Spend Thousands to Save Hundreds.
Ed. Journal: There have been a
good many questions raised as to
why the Oregon Electric is pursuing
the present tactics in regard to get
ting right-of-way on its proposed ex-
tension out of Salem to the South
Its methods have, to say the least,
been far from commendable.
To begin with, they send right
of-way agent up here who feels that
the biggest part of his work is to give
people hot air, cheap cigars and
booze and in this way get them to
give him a deed to their property for
right of way purposes for little or
nothing. The company seems to
think nothing of spending hundreds
of dollars keeping a man like this at
the best hotel in town and paying his
bar bills, etc They also furnish a
high power auto, all kinds of gaso-
line and tires and a chauffeur to
drive him and his friends around
the country to make an impression
on the people whose land they cross.
When the right-of-way agent is not
in the machine, some of the different
men employed by the company, who
are property owners along the line,
are riding around in it.
This kind of practice can go on
for months, in fact, all summer, and
hundreds and even thousands of dol
lars be spent quarTeing with and
brow-beating the different property
owners into giving up the land on
which they have homes, for little or
nothing II they can't do this, they
try to scare them with a condemna-
ton suit. 1t seems as if the Oregon
Electric company. which is supposed
10 have competent men at the head OF
it, could better afford to send a bust
ness man over its right-of-way, and
treat the property owners in a gen.
tlemanly and decent manner, in the
shape of fair price for their land,
which they are now spending on a
lot of hangers-oD, whose job is good
as long as they can keep the right of
way question open.
Under the present system the COM
pany is making enemies all along its
line, to say nothing of creating pub
lie sentiment against its methods Of
doing business. 1t seems TO the writ
er that it would pay the company to
employ as competent and sober men
to obtain its right of way as they re-
quire to manage their cars. Anyway.
they have worked everybody up to
such point now that they are ready
to fight to finish in the courts.
