The finance board Tuesday night voted to sanction the selling of the bonds authorized by the town for building new roads for the highest price obtainable under par. if neces- sary. As previously authorized it was not allowable to sell under par but as this was found to be impossible. due to the low rate of interest, some ac- ton was necessary in order to dis pose of them and the matter will again come before the special town meeting next week for disposition. The board took no action on the com munity house project. which was also scheduled to come before the town meeting.

Petitions for Election Being
Prepared; Port Of Salem
Would Have Immense Dock
and Warehouse on River

If petitions that have been drawn
and will begin circulation here within
q few DAYS, asking the county court to
call special election, are acted upon
fayorably, and the voters in the speei-
fled district grasp the value of the
moyement, Salem will be created into
the Port of Salem. and will have a
huge bonded dock and warehouse on
the river front here. Announcement
that the petitions had been prepared
and are in the hands of the printers
was made by Chairman r. o. Smelling
Of the civic department of the Com
mercial club, at the open forum meet
ing Wednesday night.
Hugh Docks Planned. ......
The proposed dock and warehouse
would cost from s150,000 to $500, 00g,
and would be fireproof, freezing proof
and probably contain cold storage. Ac-
cording to tentative plans it would be
100 by 200 feet in dimension, with one
low water floor and two upper floors,
one for the handling of the produce,
and the third floor for storage. The
dock would be equipped with eleva-
tors, trucks and all modern conven>
iences, 1t is believed that the city Of
Salem would donate its property at the
foot of Court street for the construc
ton of the immense dock.
If built there the dock will be ac-
Cessible to rail, steamship and truck
lines. Arrangements would be made
for the admission of trucks as well as
trains to the huge structure.
Election Is Necessary.
If the petitions are acted upon fa-
yorably by the county court the spe-
eial election would be called in 60
days thereafter. This step, creating
Port Of Salem, is authorized by a spe-
cal act of the Oregon 1919 legislature,
providing for the sale of bonds with
