City Commissioner Pier will survey sites for new parks following voter approval. Seven acres in front of Franklin school may become a park with expansions in Al bina Peninsula and Irvington districts.

City approves channel project from Columbia river to slough
The contract for staging a channel from the Columbia river to the slough to boost flow and enable sewage discharge was signed by Mayor Baker and City Commissioner Barbur for Portland and the Pacific Bridge Company. Work begins at once, with completion estimated after at least one year and a price of 309000 dollars. The move also signals cancellation of Multnomah County Drainage District No 1’s 8000 acre reclamation plan along the slough, after years of hold up over a dam. As the channel finishes, the city will start building lateral sewers in the Peninsula district with discharge into the slough.
