H By Charles V. Stantos A tentative budget; formulated Monday night by an appoint " ed committee, meeting With the Roseburg city council, indicates full realization of municipal problems arising from exceptionally rapid growth of the community. Too often budget committees are interested only in par ing appropriations and saving tax money regardless of efficiency in administration. But the committee which worked with the council in outlining Roseburg's financial program for the coming fiscal year displayed a ready grasp of conditions and need for services which will increase with expanding population. The city library received its first increase in allowance for several years. The swimming pool and park sinking iuncl was continued, it was recognized that the City of Rose burg will have a major problem of street repair when ma terials and labor become available and the council's proposal to establish a reserve fund by appropriations of $4,000 annually for that purpose was given approval Roseburg's sewage disposal plant has been a one-man operation. A good deal of technical knbwledge and skill is required to operate and maintain the plant, but ho one is being trained as a; substitute. The budget committee urged employment of a part-time assistant and provided money in the budget for mat purpose. A city-wide recreational broirram is in fovlnnmmit. This wilt require pooling of facilities held by the school district and the city, construction of public rest rooms, bath house, waaing pools, etc. The chamber of commerce, which is negotiating the project, reports a considerable sum is ex pected from individual contributions vhieh will provide funds, for permanent installations of a recreational nature. The city was asked for money with which to build rest rooms. This is the type of item that many hard-boiled budget com mittees would promptly toss in the discard, but the value of the proposal was recognized and funds made available. the budget committee in its recommendations I ' M I I , I a . .- nexioiiity tnraigh an emergency fund considerably lniiror thah usual. There were feotiests from the nnlir-P nnri fi department for increased personnel, but it was the nuinlnn tliat requested expansion is not yet justified by existing conditions but the committee made it possible for the coun cil to meet emergencies which m!ty arise. One situation which has been discussed by each budget committee over a long period of years pertains to the offices of city recorder and city treasurer. It has long been the opinion that there is little need for tvo paid officers to fill these jobs. The combined salaries in the proposed budget amoilrit to $3,(100. If wiis the sentiment of the committee and has been the opinion of most city officials for many years that the two offices could bo combined and placed in the hands of one capable person at a considerable financial saving. ,.;,,.':,.,' y ' -v . ., vHovevCr, the city charter requires two employees,' al though neither is designated as a full-time office and there is hblhliig to prevent the holders from making the jobs part-time positions; ; There is, apparently, a need for a charter revision, which, of course, would require an election. It seems that the matter is ono which should be submitted in the near future, as the city's financial condition will soon be strained because of the low rate of income coupled with demands for increased municipal services. Consequently any saving which can be made should be put into operation as soon as possible. . t Noted Norwegian Author Speaks To Roseburg Kiwariis Use Llndbaeck, noted Norwe gian author and lecturer, was a speaker Tuesday before the Rose burg Kiwanis club at Its regular luncheon meeting. The program was opened to the general public and a number of visitors attended Miss Lindbaesk told of her ex periences In Italy, Germany, Spain and France immediately prior to the war and In the early days of Ihe conflict. She told of the policy of the fascists in Italy In keeping the Italian people, other than rabid party members, from visiting other countries, where they might learn the true condition of world affairs. She also related her experiences in Berlin, where she witnessed the burning of the reichstag as a ruse by the nazis to gain political control. Miss Llndbaeck alsb spent con siderable time in Spain, and stat ed that the Spanish loyalists are not communists as the world has been led by nazi and fascist nroD- aganda to believe, but rather were people fighting for freedom. .6:00 Gabriel Heater,'- Forhan's i I. .
