14 Local Mortuarits for your Convenience and Economy. Water rate increase looms in near future Water rates are going up! The warning came informally during yesterday's session of the Public Works Commission. An increase is inevitable, said Public Works Director Jack Shefchik, because of skyrocketing costs in the City Water Department. Without saying when or how much, Shefchik answered a question from Commissioner John Munn, hinting that it won't be long before a new rate schedule is submitted to the commission. Shefchik assured Munn that the commission would see the schedule before any other action is taken.

There has been a 10-year accumulation of salary increases and rising costs of materials since the City ordered an actual rate Shefchik stated. He said the "restructured" schedule invoked two years ago was not an over-all increase. "With no increase in water rates, we would be wiping out our reserve funds entirely in the coming year," said Utilities Superintendent David Garcia. Net earnings of $140,000 a year are not adequate, he indicated. Without a quorum, Chairman Fred Ford found his commission unable to act on new budget matters, but details were discussed.

A $435,000 capital expense list for water was found in the total budget for the Public Works Department, largest of the City's obligations. Calling another meeting for 4 p.m. next Monday, Ford urged his commissioners to make special efforts to attend. Main items for discussion were labor-saving devices, which the executives said should save on manpower. One was a $5,000 investment in laboratory equipment for the Water Department's Highland avenue control center, which would eliminate frequent daily trips to the Tate filter plant, several miles away, with samples to be given bacteriological tests.

"The State's Water Quality Control Board is going to require more and more testing of effluent from our sewage treatment plant, as well as the water supply, to prove lack of bacteria," Garcia said. "This would require a lot more use of gasoline, running back and forth on a seven-mile route, unless we put testing equipment into our Highland avenue center." Garcia also will determine the possibility of further savings by taking samples to local laboratories, although it wasn't known whether adequate facilities existed here. Relying on other telemetry equipment, Garcia said the Water Department will be saving on the manpower that would be needed otherwise to check water pressure at various points on the City system. A $24,000 jet machine, which would clear out sewer lines, was recommended for purchase. Garcia said that the high-pressure water jets would remove obstacles and increase sewer efficiency, even eliminating small roots that invade the lines.

Shefchik expected that the relocation of several water and sewer lines will be required in the Downtown Redevelopment program, but he doubted that the intersecting Mill Creek Zanja would be a problem. "The developers know all about the said Shefchik, "and they will avoid building in conflict with it. I think we can also count on the Army's Corps of Engineers to handle, the ultimate questions of crosstown drainage, relocating the Zanja if necessary. The Corps of Engineers already have a good idea, I think, about where they are going such as building more adequate drainage under Redlands boulevard." He credited the Army Engineers with a sincere effort to learn the public wishes in planning for the Zanja's future. Rodney V.

Stambaugh, not Mcintosh, wrote book In the Grain of Salt column Saturday, Bill Moore gave thanks to Dick Mcintosh, Boy Scout leader, for the book "Where to Go Camping" issued by the former Grayback Council. Mcintosh says "Thanks, but I am not the author. Jerry Stambaugh, 334 Phlox court, who works at Lockheed, wrote it. I was president of the Council at the time." Stambaugh says that he compiled the book over a period of three.or four years. His main purpose was to give Scout leaders information that they need to safely take boys into the mountains.

"As all of us who are used to going into the mountains know, you can easily get into deep trouble if you don't know what to do," Stambaugh said. Some years ago he and Bud White and others gave a training course called the Graybacker which was designed to give Scout leaders basic knowledge of local camping. Later Stambaugh started compiling maps of routes to various campgrounds. This eventually grew into the book published in 1973. "Where to Go Camping" is a manual on camping, how to go about it, where to go, and items such as first aid information.

It has detailed data on many camp sites in the local San Bernardino, San Jacinto mountains and desert areas. Seat belt keeps woman from harm Marietta A. Spitz, 20, of Cypress, escaped injury yesterday when her car overturned on the westbound freeway on-ramp at Yucaipa boulevard at 6:55 a.m. California Highway Patrol officers said she apparently made a right turn onto the onramp at an unsafe speed, lost control on the wet pavement and rolled the car. Investigating officers said she was wearing a seatbelt that probably prevented any injury.
