Letter from R. M. Wade and Company re pump. Mr. Selliken talked with
,, Mr. Forsyth and asked him to get in touch with Mr. Carter. This happened
low
a week ago. Pump ran perfectly after it was lifted but has shifted again
and the pump has settled off level. Various suggestions made for correcting
matter and building proper building over pump. Prices and information on
quonset huts submitted by Mr. Cook. Because of lack of funds for new build-
ing at the present time; motion made and carried to authorize Yr. Blevins
'44.00- to put present pump house in condition to protect pump for the winter. Mr.
Cook will contact Mr. Carter re leveling pump.
Discussion on furnishing water to J. V. Chandler. Mr. Chandler told by Mr.
Cook we could not buy pipe. General discussion on conversation with Mr. Chandler
by both Mr. Cook and Mr. Barber. Mr. Barber objected to furnishing water,
stating we would not have enough water to furnish a cannery such as Mr. Chandler
expects to build. Mr. Cook quoted from actual tests on first pump at well, and
our present pump is larger and could give an increased capacity. In 1$ hours
running against a measured gallon, we could pump a minimum of 210 gallons of
water per minute. This means we have five times more water than used in our
biggest month of the year. Motion made and carried that Mr. Chandler be advised
he must bring the pipe to the boundary of the District for his water and in case
of failure of scarce of supply or failure of the pump we will not be responsible.
We are also to serve him only in excess of demand of the Tigard Water District.
Discussion by Mr. Wheelock on holding election. Mrs. Hall instructed to
contact three judges for election, names suggested being Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. Meyers,
Mrs. Cruse, Mrs. Blevins; also to have ballots printed showing persons designated
by signed petitions on the ballots. Polling place to be the Tigard Grade School.
One Commissioner to be elected. Both sample and official ballots to be prepared.
Nominating petitions to be on file with the Secretary of the Board by November 19,
1947. Mr. Barber submitted signed petition for C. L. Osborne at meeting. Judges
must post at least three notices of election.
Mr. Barber stated there was oil floating on top of the tank. Mr. Blevins
instructed to run tank over and float oil off. Mr. Barber brought up matter of
tank not overflowing properly, stating that if water was to come over the
top of the overflow flap, pressure and weight would hold the flap down so that
no water could get out, forcing top of the tank. Mr. Selliken and Mr. Blevins
both assured Mr. Barber that pressure would not hold down the flap and that tank
would overflow properly and already has.
Mr. Barber brought up installation of new meter for Jung, stating charge should
not have been aver $2.00 or X3.00. Mrs. Hall read charges to Jung - only change
authorized was to overhaul meter taken out and credit Mr. Jung with difference
'4i0m., cost of new rater and cost of repairing old meter. Mr. Blevins to have
meter overhauled.
Motion moved and carried that R. M. Wade & Co. be requested to put float
switch in stand pipe as recommended in letter from them.
