Tax Increase Not
Likely, Decision
At Myrtle Creek
Increased town revenue will fi
nance more Improvement! for
Myrtle Creek end will not necessi
tate an Increase in taxes.
That was the announcement made
Tuesday at a Joint meeting of the
Myrtle "reek city council and bud
get committee. The group decided
extensive street repairs, better pub
lic services and municipal improve
ments will be possible without in
creasing the tax load.
Meetings for further discussion
will be held before a final budget
is submitted for approval.
The following budget items were
considered:
Personnel service, with present
salary schedules meeting the coun
cil's approval; assent to the police
department to trade the present
police car for a new one; approval
to improve the city Jail: slight in
creases granted the fire depart
ment to care for new additions;
approval of additions for repairs
and materials for the water depart
ment and approval of new mains.
Three additional Items were con
sidered at length. The council
agreed on -.etting up a sinking fund
toward future construction of a city
hall, instead of budgeting a low
cost building at this time. A com
mittee presented a petition asking
that MOO be budgeted for lights on
the Evergreen park field. The coun
cil will seek legal advice before
reaching a decision on this ques
tion. The third request was from
Mrs. Hal W. Schiltz, Girl Scout
Library committee chairman, who
asked the council to budget $2,000
for a public library. Mrs. Schlitz
said the present Girl Scout library
would be used as a basis for the
new public library.

herds. Cows, it seems, give less
milk when their milking schedules
are changed.
Big city workers as a rule like
daylight time for it gives them an
additional hour of sunlight after a
day at the office or plant. In
Nevada, gamblers vainly opposed
its adoption on the ground that
citizens would spend extra hours
outdoors when they could be start
ing on night life rounds.
Some confusion seemi almost
certain to arise out of railroad
schedules. Most roads will cling to
standard time but others will oper
ate on the new time.
Radio networks will use the same
system adopted last year, switch
ing their major shows in the east
to daylight time. Network stations
in the south and west will be per
mitted to rebroadcast them an
hour later if they wish, so that
listeners in the areaa can hear
them, at the usual time.
