To the City I-lecoidor of the City of P.eedsport, Ore.
This is to certify that I have investigated the use

As far as I can determine txom the size of the pipe
and the relative water pressure on the system at Reedsport
at the time of Minimum consumption in the night and the tiine of
llaximum consumption in the day-time hours, I place the minxmum
corruption at 2 to 2-l/2 second feet and the maximum con
sumption at 4 second feet.
In the a"bS3nce of meters on this line this is the
only way I can calculate t-is amount.

The estimated run-off for a minimum year according

uommunioations:
A letter from the Oregon Stats Highv/ay Commission
requested that the city establish grades by ordinance, for Winches- '
ter Avenue from the west bound3.ry of city limits to the bouthem
Pacii'ic Company railroad track, north and south for one block on ij'irst
Avenue and north for approximately 100 feet on 6th and 7th btreets-
The i'ollov/ing property ovmers avpeared before the Oounoil at this ti;ne
as this matter v/as being considered: Konda Andersen, iu Pranklin,
J.I . U-ibbons, H.O. McCall, H.J. lyster, J.S. Hoberts, llarl K. Chapman,
and hussell J. Hubbard. ringineer ?.?. V/hitmore, re?"'resenting the
State Highv/ay Com:nisi;ion, v/as also present. Careful consideration was
given to the ma^^ submitted by the Highv/ay Department, shov/ing the
proposed grades for the lieedsport section oi the Hoosevelt Highv/ay.
Hone of the property ov/ners-present voiced any objection to the pro
posed grades for Winchester-Avenue, but there \7as objection voiced as
to the deep cuts proposed for oth and 7th Streets. 5]here v;as also
some objection raise/- as to'the proposed cut south from V/inchester on
First Avenue. After considerable discussion the City Recorder v/as
instructed to write to the High\"ay Commission setting out the fact
that there were certain objections to the proposed cuts on ?irst Avenue
and 6th and 7th Streets, but that the grade as proposed for Winchester
Avenue v;as ajceptable.
Heports of Committees:
Councilman Varrelman, Chaiiman of the Street
Committee, called attention'to various complaints which had been made
from time to time as to dangerous condition of certain planked streets,
and especially H and L Streets, and that street extending from the
overhead railroad crossing and joining H and L Streets on the east
side of the track. Aftor considerable discussion, upon motion of
Councilman iVeidner, regularly secondv-d and carried, it v/as ordered
that the street planking on these streets be torn up and bladed.
it v/as'also ord--^red that the v/ater holes along
V/est Railroad Avenue be fill'ed.
Mr. Russell J. Hubbard, of the V/inchester Bay
liurtber Company, called attention to the fact that the dredge fill ^
v/hich is to be made by his company in the near future migh'i: cause some ,
deposit of dredge^material along ./est Railroad Avenue, and asked if ^
there would be any objection, it was felt that there would be no ob- |
jection to this and probably would be some help' to the street. I
A general discussion follov/ea relative to the
n^cesF^i'ty for various traffic *»"egulations. It was decided that an
ordinance should be adopted that would designate Winchester Avonue as
a through street, and it was suggested that the Street Committee look
into the matter of rocommehding certain necessary traffic regulations.
Councilman V/eidner, Chairman of the light Com
mittee, reported that the Council might at any time ask Mr. Watson,
Portrand Manager for the Peoples V/estCoast Hydro-electric CorjDoration,

f^or street lights. Mr. Watson had si^ified his willingness to do
this at any time at the convonience ox the Council.

i.^ayor Jiucl!: and all Councilmen were present*
Special attention of the Council was first called to the
imediate necessity of the extension and repair of the
water lines and riiains east from 16th street on .Vinchester
Avenue and along //inchester Avenue,near 11th Street* and
it v;as otdered that the necessary extension and repairs
"be made.
i'Jr. Russell J hubbard, oi' th-; .vinchestex- Bay Lumber Company
appeared before the Council, and asiced its co-operation
in connection with th.' v/ater supply for the operation
of a pulp mill on the ./inchester Bay Lum:;er Company mill
site. Ke suggested the feasiciLity of a reservoir construct
ion, at the expense of the raill company,from which the
City would take its supply,as well as the mill, allowing
certain safe guards to assure the City of first call
on the supply; and in consideration of the construction
of the reservoir, the mill company to secure free water*
Although there Y/as nothing of a definite nature to
consider and act on at this time, the members of the Council
expressed themselves aS being desirous to co-operate
to every reasonable extent possible to encourage the con
struction and operation of a pulp mill in Reedsport,
Continued consideration and study was given to the proposed
rate schedules for use of water from the Municipal v/ater
Supply and v.ater i.:ains» Total monthly income,based on the
present ilorth Bend schedules, was estimated and it appeared
that such a basis, although higher than the present rates
ap_.lying for Heedspcrt, was not quite sufficient to bring
the monthly income to an araount which would adequately
provide for bond and bond interests costs, as well as
operation and maintenance expense.
It was finally decided to instruct the Recorder to compute
the income,based upon a 25/& increase on base rates applying
to the present ITorth 3end schedule. Upon motion regularly
made,seconded and carried meeting was continued until

connection with his proposed ordinance.
Councilman Tom Lillebo reported verbally on the
present status of the water main crossing on .^cholfield
River bridge. Ke stated that the Jistrict Engineers had

Rer.crts of Corrrnitteeu:
Councilman Lillebo, Chairman of the ./ater
Committee, reported that he iiad been advised by I-Ir. Hubbard
that perniission to lay the v;ater pipe line on the ocholfield
Hiver Bridge had been informally sanctioned by the State Highway
Commission,and that details of.the official permit v/ould
be secured soon*
Councilman Lillebo called the attention
of the Council to the report of ./ater Coimrassioner Clarke
resulting from an investigation of the aiviount of v;ater used
by the I'mpqua ialls a.nd Tinfoer Com^^any and tiie V/'inchester Bay
.Lumber Company. Mr. Clarke estimated that Um-prua I'-ills and
Timber Company developed 600 Steam H.P. and the Vinchester
3a;^ Lumber Coi/ipany 1300 Stecim II.P.; that 840 Steam H-P. of the
Winchester Bay Lumber Company i7as on a condensing system
which should be figured on about a 5/^ water loss. This would
leave a boiler v;ater consu: ption e: ual to approxi;:iately 500 H.P.
Llr. Clarke further estii.a^ed th-Mt due to the rels.tive -size
of the two plants and ^ards, and consequent probaole . roportionate
consumption of v;ater other than for boiler purposes,
the present tota.l proportion of rates charged the tv;o mills
wasH in his opinion EECEisEix fair and ecuitable.
ir. Lillebo reported that the V/ater Committee
was not ready at this time to make any definite recommendation
re.^a23ding •.•ate for the iTmpcua Kills and Timber Company, but
that it still had the ijiatter under advisement.
Councilman H Ford read a letter received
from the Light Company relative to prices on new light fixtures,
the cost of which approximated ;f|il6.00. After due consideration
it was s/athorized that 7 new fixtures be purchased.
-he Street Committee, with Councilman
Bernhardt as Chairiiian, recommended improvement through (grading
of 14th .itreet between ..inchester ".venue and i- Street, and
a few other places which needed this maintenance work badly.
It w:;,s finally aut orized that the grader be hired for one

A considera'ble discussion follov/ed regarding the advisability
of the purchse on the part of the City of water meters for
the Umpcua j-."ills and Timber Company and V/inchester Bay Lumber
Company water supply lines, Tlie principal reasons advanced
in favor of acquiring meters v;a,s to provide means for
scientifically arriving at equitable and fairly proportioned
rates for the tv;o main industrial users, and that they would
result in less v/Mstage of water and consequently better
T/ater pressure and service* It Y/as felt ,however, on the other
hand that the large expense to the City was not justified;
also that it would invite other requests for meters, which the
City would not be in financial position to purchase. ]Io definite
action was talcen at this time*
A further discussion developed regarding the absolute necessity
for providing means for better water pressure. Consideration
was given to extension of the 12" v/ater main from 8th Acsranae
v/est to the easterly end of the present 12" water main.
It was finally decided that this matter be tal:en up for immediate
consideration and report, on the part of the ^Vater 'Committee*
It was directed that the City ?Lecorder reply to the letter of
the Umpcua ..alls and Timber Company, stating that the Council
contemplated es^jension of its 12" main with a view to
securing increase of water pressure; and that the queotion
of rate adjustment was still mider advisement*
Ilr. J C Diehl appeared before the Council, and asked for a
special committee to consider with him a proposal to
Vacate certain platted lots. A Coiii/nittee consisting of
Councilmen ./eidner and Foster, and Jlr Cairns was appointed.
This cominittee was also asked to malce report on the request
for permission to move another house to V/inchester Bay.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned*

the ojjinion that it needed the present rate charged and it was

felt ths.t the present rate cha,rged v:as out of proportion to the
present rate charged the V/inchester Bay Luiiber Company, in prop
ortion to water consmed and the size of the tv.ro plants.
¥x* KcCall suggested the former rates charged the two
industries as the proper basis for computing increase in tates.
Councilman Lillebo, Chairman of the V/ater Coinriiittee,
recommended a small decrease in the present rate of the ISiipqua
Mills and Timber Company.
Yfeter ComTiiissioner Clarke referred to his report, submitted
at previous meeting, and stated th:it he felt that the present

rates charged, if the meter schedule v/ere used. He recommended
some decrease in the present rate charged the Uiiipqua I.:ills and

Minutes of the regular September, 1929 meeting
of the Common Council of the City of Keedsport, held Thurs
day, September 5th, 1929 at 8:00
Mayor Buok and all oounoilmen except Paul Bernhardt
and S. H. ^'ord were present.
The minutes of the last regular meeting were read
and approved.
Mri and Mrs. Geprge Keating appeared "before the
Council, protesting the amount of assessment charged them on their
lot 8 in Block 70, under Street Improvement District Ho. 2 in the
amount of §65.74. As previously contended by them they claimed that f
this amount was unreasonable and requested adjustment of approximate- •
ly fifty per cent of the account. This matter had received the at
tention of the Council at previous meeting at which time it had been !
referred to the Street Committee. Councilman West was the only mem- s
ber of this committee prepared to report. He stated that bit ap
peared to him that sufficient fill had not been made in the alley
adjacent to this lot. After considerable discussion it was decided ,
to postpone any action on this protest pending further report from '
the other committeemen.
Mr. J. R. Rash again appeared before the Council
requesting that some action be taken with respect to the tenancy to
the west of his home. Upon motion of Councilman Lillebo, duly sec
onded and caried, it was ordered that the city officials take appro
priate action toward declaring this property a nuisance.
The Umpqua Highv/ay Improvement District through one
of its members and representatives, Nels Hogan, submitted maps and
proposals for the construction of the Umpqua Highway from the Southern
Pacific Company railroad track northeasterly along Sast i^ilroad and
1 Street to 15th Street. The route confomed to amended order ifF—
1478 of the Public Service Commission in the matter of the application
of the City of Eeedsport, Oregon for permission to construct a city
street over and across the right of way and tracks of the Southern
Pacific Comrany at grade to Bast Railroad Avenue on the east of said
right of way, as per certain maps attached thereto and previously ap
proved by the City Council. The Ifcipqua Highway Improvement District
in cooperation with the State Highway Cominission proposed to construct
or to continue the highway as above outlined at an approximate cost
of $10,000. It was represented that contract for the work would be
let in the very near future providing that certain rights of way
across part of lots 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Block 85 and 8 and 9 in Block
102, both of the amended plat of Railroad Addition to Reedsport, Oreg.,
could be secured free of cost to the Highway Improvement District and
to the state. It appeared that Reedsport Realty Comi-any were owners
of lots 2 and 6 in Block 85, and lot 9 in Block 102, and that Mr.
Russell J. Hubbard and the Reedsport Company were owners of lots 3
and 4 in Block 85 and lot 8 in Block 102; that the owners in considera- ^
tion for the right of way requested, had asked for payment in full of
taxes due Douglas County in the total amount of $610.28, and assessments
to the City of Reedsport in the total amount of ;gji2295.80. It was noted
that the proposed right of v/ay took only a very small portion of lots
2 and 3 in Block 85 and lot 9 in Block 102. After considerable dis
cussion and careful consideration the Council upon motion of Council
man Lillebo, duly seconded and carried, agreed to assume payment of
taxes to Douglas County on all lots in the amount of $610.28, and city
assessments on lots 4 and 5 in Block 85 and 8 in Block 102 in the total
amount of $1494.68. Councilman V/eidner was appointed as a committee of
one to arrange with Douglas County for the financing of tax payment due
it, and was authorized to request on the- part of the City, remission of
the City millage applied against these lots, thereby reducing the actual
amount of taxes to be paid to the County by approximately twenty-five
per cent.

tion Company during the time of the City fill- Attorney Benson
explained briefly and in ,.a ^goiieway the facts involved in the
case and recommended that^i^fe-^^^&SLracted to write a general let

ably be necessary for him to looJc up various points in regard to
the case and suggested that he would prefer to secure the ser
vices as associate of Attorney Y/imberley of Roseburg in event
that the City was sued. Attorney Benson was authorized to answer
by letter as suggested and the Council indicated its approval^of
employment of additional legal advice of Mr. Wimberley in case it
became necessary later on.
The City Treasurer and City Recorder submitted
financial reports of receipts and disbursements, which were order

motion by Councilman lillebo, by which the City agreed to assume
payment of certain taxes to Douglas County in the amount of
$610.28, and assessments in the amount of $1494.68. It was not
ed that there was lack of a quorum at the time of the passing of
this motion, Councilman Poster having left the meeting^and con
sequently action taken by less than a majority of the Council was
illegal.
Communication dated September 9th, from Mr.
0. P- Douglas, trustee and building manager for Eeedsport Lodge
llo. 245 I.O.O.F. building, was nest read. 0?lais letter called
attention to the illegallsr constructed buildings to the west and
adjacent to the I.O.O.F. Building, the serious fire hazard that
existed, and requested that the City Council declare the build
ings a nuisance and have them removed, in accordance withe the
provisions of Ordinance Bo. 78. After due consideration, it was
suggested that Mr. Douglas first notify the owners of the tres
pass which had very apparently been committed on the 1.0.0.5'.
property, and in case action was taken by them, that the mat
ter be again referred to the Council.
Coxincilman Ford reported that there were no
li^t sockets on hand for light fixtures, and recommended that
the City purchase ten, at an approximate price of 80^ each.
This purchase was duly authorized by the City Council.

cussion of the proposed highway development through the city aa
outlined and discussed at last meeting. A considerable number
of citizens and tax payers in addition to City Councilmen and
other officers v/ere present for this discussion. Mr. W. A.
Lovelace explained briefly the general proposal and expressed
his desire that the Council would act favorably upon th© matter
of securing rights of way. Mayor Buck explained in detail the
proposals as submitted to the Coujicil at the last meeting and
stated that he was opposed at that time to paying anything for^
rights of way, in view of the fact that he considered that a
highway location would be of much more benefit to the adjacent
property than the loss ibf portion of the lots v/hich would be
crossed by it. Several others spoke for and against the pro
posals.
L. J. Weidner took his seat as Councilman dur
ing the late part 6f the meeting, and moved that the proposal as
adopted by a minority group of the Council at last meeting be
adopted. Motion was seconded by Councilman Lillebo and the vote

provement of fire hazards, was read and deferred for later action.
A letter from D.L. Buckingham, former City Engineer,

Financial reports submitted by the City (Treasurer
and the City Recorder were ordered filed. Jhe reports showed a
balance on hand under the various funds as of September 30th, of
$21,732.70.
Mr. & Mrs. George Keating again appeared before
the Council urging their claim for adjustment on street fill under
District Ro. 2. The Street Com-nittee reported that their investiga
tion showed that sufficient fill had not been made and reoommended
that an adjustment of 50fo reduction in the as^sessment originally
charged Mr. Seating be allowed^ and that warrant be drawn on the
general fund in favor of Street Improvement District Ko. 2 fund for
$32.87, and that this, amount be credited on the assessment of George
Eeating. The Hecorder called attention to the fact that Ethel
Weatherly, the owner of an adjacent lot, made a similar claim, but
the Council took no definite action on this matter except to state
that the owner should make a separate proposal or request of the
Council•
J Mr. C.M. Daniels on, resident manager for the Peoples
j V/est Coast Hydro-Electric Coiporation, appeared before the Council
j and explained the principal cause for interruption of power and
^ light. He stated that the interruption had been due mainly to breakages
along the tr^smission line from Heedsport south to Eorth Bend
from falling trees, breaking of insulators by hunters, and in other
ways. He stated that he fully recognized the necessity for stand-by
service and that in his opinion his company was doing all possible
to make satisfactory arrangements for it- Mayor Buck criticized the
laxness of the company management in not notifying its office as to
approximate time of shut down and cause of the break, so that users
could plan their operations and business accordingly. Mr. Hubbard
appeared before the Council during the discussion and stated that he
had heard that the V/inchester Bay Lumber Company was not open to any
proposal for giving stand-by service. He stated that these state
ments were not true, and that his compariy v/as open to negotiation at
any time. It appeared to be the opinion of all present that in view
of the possibility of frequent interruptions from time to time, it
was of vital importance that some arrangement be made for stand-by
service, and that appropriate action should be taken to secure same.
It was authorized that a six volt, heavy duty
fifteen plate batteiy he purchased for the new fire truck and the
Recorder was authorised to get prices on the same and purchase on
the best basis possible for the City.
A general discussion followed regarding the water
"oipe line crossing over the Schofield River. Mr. Hubbard explained
briefly that the Highway ComjTiission had authorised a crossing on
the ne\v highway bridge, and that he was of the opinion that this -
authorization v/ould appear in the minutes of the Hi^way Oommission/
although such a crossing had been opposed by the Highway Engineer.
He also stated that District Engineer Lukesh had indicated that he
would issue a temporary permit revo-cable after three years, pro
vided the sanction of the Highway Commission had been obtained.
Water Commissioner Clarke outlined briefly a proposal for reconstme^
ing the pipe line from the east end of the Schofield Hiver bridge,
west across the bridge and oil up to Second Street. After consid
erable discussion and consideration, it was ordered that City Re
corder Chapin be directed to interview the Secretary of the State
Highway Commission at Salem and the District Engineer at Portland
with a view to obtaining the necessary permission for the watermain
crossing on the bridge; that fingineer IJichols be employed to matee
tracings of the proposed crossing; that reconstruction of the wa,ter
pipe line from an 8" to a 12" main as recommended by V/ater Commissicner
Clarke, be authorized, provided the permission to cross the bridge
was obtained, and that authorization be given to order the necessary
additional pipe line and other supplies.
Attention was next given to the suit which has been
filed against the City of Reedsport and former city officials by the
Royal Indemnity Company. Attorney Benson explained briefly the case
which confronted the City, and rocommended that he be authorized to
employ the legal assistance of a law form in Portland. He v;as also
authorized to take the neceBsary steps to protect the interests of
the Oity in defending the suit-
A report of finances as of September 30th, 1939
was submitted by the Recorder at the request of the State 'treasur
er's office and was ordered to be forwarded for their information
and reference.

from //. P. Miller and E. L. King, respectively, addressed to Mr.
n
S.II. Crimp, Southern Pacific local agent, were ne:-:t read. These

road tracks and stated that they could not see v&ere the Southern
Pacific Company would be justified in standiA^ an expense which the
^blic bei'Vice Commission load ruled to be undertaken by the City of
xieedsport. It was explained to the Council that this new crossing
was applied for technically in the name of the City but at the re
quest of the highway officials and that

of the Council to tal® no further action in the mtter at this time,

were placed on either side of the proposed crossing to prevent pos

gested that tv/o samples of trie water, one taken from the surface of
the lake near tSie int.^ake, and the other from the irain at V/inchester
Bay, be taken and sent to the State Board of Health for analysis.
This action was suggested merely as a precautionary -.iBasure.

necessity for standby seivice on the part of the V/'est Coast Hydro-
Slectric Power Company in order to provide properly for the needs
and convenience of local users of li^_t ?and pov;er. Considerable
discuLsion followed regarding advisability of filing complaint with
the Public bervice Commission. It was finally decided that the
City Recorder be instructed to write a le1:ter to the Power Company
protesting .against frequent interruptions to service, urging the
installation of standby service as a public necessity in view of
the fact that it ms very apparent that t;iere would be frequent in
terruptions on acount of the long transmission line. The Recorder
was also directed to send a copy of this letter to the local tiaper
for publication.
