$162,000 at a tax rate of 20 mills.
Thought was given to the largest
budget possible at the lowest tax
rale.
Tax Sources Available
"Interest is shown by the city
officials In annexing areas out
side the city due to the Income
Erovided the operating budget
y taxes paid. True the city will
receive tuxes from these areas,
but the amount received at a tax
rate of 15.8 mills is very small.
Taxes that would be of benefit
to the city mould come from
liquor, motor vehicles, gas line
ax and county road lunus ai ine
rate of $7.25 per capita per year.
These taxes are paid by the citi
zens outside tne limits or nose
burg, but cannot be used In the
city until such time as the areas
become part or tne city.
Ine city can oiler annexea
areas any Improvements they
want, by forming Improvement
districts. Possibly If West and
North Roseburg came Into the
city, sub stations would have to
be provided for fire protection.
Sanitation can be provided with
the backing of the city's $7,225,

provements as well as fire and
police protection can be naa.
Somethlna For NothlnflT No
The Question is raised at tne
thought of near annexation, what
can we get out of It for the
added taxes 7 people must re

thing for nothing. We are re
quired to pay lor wna: we get,
However, there are times when
outside areas cannot provide
necessary facilities wltnout the
help and backing of the city.
Low assessed valuation Is the
cause of many sanitary and Im

proved. Bonding companies will
not buy bonds unless there Is
certain valuation lo warrant the
risk.
If petitions are presented again
and another election for annex

come from the outside areas.
We as city officials want the
areas to come in willingly with
a complete understanding that
they will be treated as any other
part of the city, with the same
ways of securing improvements
to their areas."

Winchester Dam
Shows Decrease
A small general decrease In
the number of salmon Is shown
for 1949 by the Winchester dam
counting station through Aug. 15
for the years 1946 to 1949, re
ported Ross Newcomb, resident
biologist.
Adult Chinook counted number
ed 1911 in 1946, 2861 in 1947, 2179
in 1948, and 2068 for the current
season. Jack salmon numbered
518, 747, 233 and 477 resiectively
for the four season, with the per
cent of jacks being 21.3, 20.7, 9.7
and 18.7, respectively. Summer
steelhead numbered 2206, 3233,
2281, and 1225, respectively.
Continued tag returns are need
ed, said Newcomb. Up to and in
cluding Aug. 10, there has been
a return of 15.6 percent of the
March released tagged speci
mens, 18.8 percent of the May-
June planting and 24.3 percent
of the 1500 large, brood fish re
leased in June.
"We are particularly interest
ed in returns from special
small release on July 19." said
Newcomb. 'These specimens
were dropped 36 feet Into the
water."
"As might be expected," he
said, "the March released fish
have moved most. There are a
few Instances of extended up
stream migration as much as
5.5 miles. The maximum report
ed downstream movement In 1948
is 14.8 miles. A complete report
of tag returns will be made avail
able at the conclusion of the trout

committees.
Wallace Foresees Ruin
Henry A. Wallace said today
that passage of an arms-aid pro
gram would "undermine the econ
omy and military security both
of the U. S. and Europe."
What's more, he said, the
statements In support of the pro
gram by President Truman, Sec
retary of Stale Acheson and the
nation's military leaders "are the
statements of men who are either
intent on provoking war or are
so afraid their case is weak they
must incite passion to support
It."
The Progressive party's 1948
candidate for President was a
witness before the combined for
eign relations and armed services
committees of the Senate.
He reiterated, in his prepared
statement, his belief that Rus
sia does not want war, and de
clared that the administration
program to arm this country's al
lies is part of a policy which has
failed wherever it has been tried
in Greece, in Turkey and in
China.
"The policy of the arms pro
gram was given a full run In
China," the one-time vice presi
dent said. "At long last the ad
ministration has admitted the
complete failure of that pol?y in
China. It was forced to by even's.
'The waste, the futility, the
utter insanity of that policy of
trying to contain an Idea with
guns, of supporting reaction to
suppress social reform, stands
clear for all the world to see."
