City's Needs Stressed By Manager Gilchrist (Continued on Page , estimated budget revenue from state gas and license fees jumped from $28,000 in '51-52 to $49,800 in the coming fiscal year. With a $19,000 balance, total estimates for the whopping $68,000.) More Street Improvement .Gilchrist pointed 'out that all gas tax revenue and license fees must be used for street construction or maintenance. ' 'The last extensive improvement of the streets of Roseburg was in 1926. With gas tax dollars we will be able to start a street improve ment program. The cost of keep ing up these unimproved streets is quite high." Need for lighting Umpqua Park was emphasized. He said the park was used extensively, and Is at present booked until August, with several groups of over 1000 people planning ; to use it at one time. The proposed budget would up taxes frojn 19.9 mills to "about 22 mills," a tax' rise "of about two dollars per $1000 assessed valua tion." The budget Is $102,000 more than Jat year, but only $37,000 in additional taxes are needed. The balance will be derived from great ly increased state revenue based on th 190 census. "I'm not asking you to vote for the budget on June 20, but I hope you do," Gilchrist concluded Steel Crisis Political ' Football, Murray Says (Continued from Page One) dential nomination. ' his audience booed lustily. Murray said Taft should have more sense than to press for a court injunction under the Taft Hartley Act. Various members of the audience yelled: "What sense?" and "He ain't got no sense at all." Murray called Elsenhower a "me too-er." because Elsenhower supported Taft's declaration that' the Taft - Hartley Act should be invoked by President Truman to get the steel mills back in produc tion. Referring to the Korean situa tion, Murray declared there is no question "that the boys- In Korea will be provided the equipment they, need." Fast breaking developments In th steel crisis turned the strike spotlight on Pittsburgh after the House Banking Committee in Washington voted 15 to 10 against a proposal that President Truman be empowered to seize the steel industry. The Senate has served notice on Truman that . he should use the emergency provisions of the Taft Hartley Act to set a court injunc. tion against a strike.
