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

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.

pshaw! She just grinned.
"The only athletics we had was
marching around a room in pair
and doing calisthenics with
wands." Social activities were
limited to a "social evening" now
and then when cake was served,
and an introduction party each
new semester.' There was an un
written rule that students could
attend dances only once a month.
But they didn't seem to care. They
were too busy studying.
"Yes, I do think that students
in my day studied harder there
was nothing much else to do but
study. Ant) the professors gave u
assignments as though we had
nothing to do but study about all
the time." As for drinking of liq
uor it was "unheard of."
Dcady Hall was the only build
ing on Ahe campus. Villard Hall
was completed in time for
the commencement of 86, she re

them."

She used to set type for the old
Roseburg Plain-dealer, a weekl'
owned by her late father, D.S.K.
Buick. But she spent most of her
time on the local Western Union
ticker, as an agent for the Wells
Fargo exorcss company and the
Railway Express.
"They retired me In 1939," she
recalls, "but I go back and work
now and then during the rush
periods."
"I knew Roseburg when most of
the city was pasture, and when
the town was incsied around
North Jackson Street. The tel
graph business was good too
good. She worked hard, long and
irregularly.
On her high forehead s
wears her old green telegrapher's
visor. She wouldn't be at home
without it. About her Is a flock
of substantial magazines, includ
ing the Presbyterian Life and the
Saturday Evening Post.
The old alumnus is a great
reader. Her bookshelf Is packed
with well-perused volumes. And a
big Bible sits on a separate shelf.
"I thank Almighty God for keep
ing me in such good health through
these years." Kate sighed with
ecstatic delight. Of course she
lived right, got lots of sleep, and
kept active and alert by reading
and crocheting but the Lord
gets her praise. I don't miss a
Sunday service if I can help it,"
she exclaimed.
"And I'm going to take a bus

Small Tax Share
Goes To Cities
The typical man pays only four
per cent of its taxes for . city ad
ministration. This was revealed In an article
published by the Western City
Magazine in April, 1952, City Man
ager W. A.-Gilchrist revealed at
the Rotary club meeting Thursday.
Taking an average family man
with a wife, two children, a mod
est home and a good car as an
-illustration, the survey reveals
that the man with a gross in
come of $5,400 paid $981 a year
in direct and excise taxes.
Of this amount, he pointed out, I
the federal government got 65.9
per cent; the state, 12.1 per cent;
the school district, 10.6 per cent;
the county, 7.4 per cent, and the
city, 4 per cent, or only S39.
. The survey was made in Ar
cadia, Calif., which, Gilchrist em
phasized, has- many similarities to
Roseburg. It is also a lumbering
center, he says.
