THE TAX OUTLOOK
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Good news for Roseburg taxpayers is found in the state
ment by City Manager M. W. Slankard that even though
the proposed municipal operating budget is higher than that
of hist year, the rate of levy will be about three mills lower,
providing the budget in its current form is voted at the
forthcoming budget election.
At the time the city manager form of government was
initiated in Roseburg, the statement was made in this column
that while city costs would increase, the manager would pay
his own way over a period of time through more efficient
operation of city affairs. The proposed 1948-49 budget indi
cates that the manager has gone a considerable distance in
that direction.
Several factors, other than managerial efficiencies, of
course, enter into the lower tax rate anticipated for next
year. Chief in importance is increase in assessed valuation.
While the new valuation has not been finally calculated, it
is estimated that it will jump from $5,882,535 to at least
$6,225,000. Contributing also to the tax rate reduction is a
boost of approximately $6,000 in estimated receipts. This
latter item, however, could be materially changed if the
people so willed, for a substantial part of the anticipated
ttppage in receipts is based upon calculated violations of
traffic laws, coupled with better police enforcement. If
everyone obeyed the traffic laws and put their nickels and
pennies in the meters as they should, the manager might be
disappointed in the matter of collecting fines, but, on the i
other hand, the meter revenue would be boosted in propor
tion, so the city would get the money either way.
But the managerial department can account for at least
a part of the budget improvement through tighter control
over city expenditures, a more studied utilization of funds
and a careful eye on the tax load, while still building up
better efficiency through purchases of needed equipment and
division of labor.
A case in point is found in the proposed budget which
groups Btreet work into four departments instead of three
as previously. One department is set up to operate with
money apportioned by the state, the money for this item
ulready being on hand from current distributions. This
makes possible an exclusive operation under separate budget
heading, with division of material and equipment costs, ad
ministrative expense, etc., thus cutting down the amount to
be levied in taxes.
Another departure in the proposed budget is that of a new
park and pluyground department. Heretofore parks and
playgrounds were carried in the recreation budget, with
some of the costs being charged iigainst the street depart
ment. The new budget item will result in a division of labor,
specific assignments and direct responsibility which, .while
adding' to total cost will be well worth the expense. in effi
ciency and expansion of recreational facilities.
Revenue from parking meters cannot be used for the city's
general operating expense but only for traffic control. But
under traffic control a segment of police costs can be trans
ferred to the meter fund which reduces the amount to be
raised by tax levy. No actual saving, of course, results be
cause most property owners pay out as much in feeding
traffic meters as they would pay in a direct levy. But at the
same time some of the people from suburban areas, who get
the benefit of city streets, are helping pay for traffic con
trol, traffic safety, etc., while help also conies from tourists
using the streets. The tax, in other words, is paid by the
people benefitted, even though they are not residents of the
city.
But because the tax rate may decline slightly due to nu
merous factors, Roseburg residents should not be lulled into
a sense of false security.
We face eventual necessities which will prove costly. We
must have a program of street widening, construction of
arterials, installation of traffic signals, etc. We must pre
pare to separate drainage water from sanitary sewers and
enlarge our sewage disposal plant. We need more and better
street lighting. We should have airport improvements. An
nexation of adjacent territory is certain to come and will re
quire substantial increases in the operating budget although
assessed valuation will not advance in corresponding ratio.
Many other needs could be recited. These problems arc not
being solved only postponed.
We cannot anticipate getting back to what might be
termed a "normal" tax level for a number of years, but it is
possible we have passed the peak of rapid increase, which
is welcome news, if true.

each morning and 8:00 p.m. for
