Need Of Upped Budget Cited By Gilchrist - (Continued from Page One) the same as police, but they work on a 72-hour basis. Listing the various Items of the budget, he said, airport work will cost an estimated $3,500, although a portion of that will be returned from receipts. The budget committee wants to establish in the street tax fund a $20,000 Item to inaugurate a pro gram of permanent street improve ment to eliminate summer dust and winter rain. How this would be worked out is still under dis cussion, but it would make pos sible for the city to contribute some of the cost of new street paving. Sewage Pom Problem Gilchrist spoke at length on the proposed plan to hire a firm of competent engineers to make a study of sewers and sewage dis posal plant, also of the areas not served and to outline a program of progress. For this $9,040 has been allowed. The sewage disposal plant is tax ed to capacity during peak periods of the day. Surplus sewage must be dumped into the river. The rate of flow is greater on Mondays, when most housewives wash, he said. Other items Include $10,000 for storm sewer work, $1,000 for lights in Umpqua Park, new chlorinator and replacement of overflow trough at the swimming pool, and purchase of needed trucks for city use, and other equipment.

Judging Of Bands At Fete Unfair, Stiles Declares Future policy in regard to par ticipation of Roseburg Senior High School band and a locV float 'n the Portland Rose Festival was announced today by Ed Stiles, band director. Meanwhile, those who attended the 1952 Portland festiyal contin ued to discuss the appearance of both the band and the Moose Lodge entry in the recent extrav aganza. Stiles says that although the Roseburg band was the fastest stepping unit he had timed a cad ence of 156 beats a minute and received much praise from those along the line of march as well as from friends, the band did not win any award. "In the future, Roseburg will probably send the band -and a float entry to the festival every two or three years," he predicts. He says that it takes time to get the necessary financial backing for a first-rate appearance at the Portland event. Because of the Centennial celebration this year, the Chamber of Commerce could not contribute to a float, he notes. According to festival rules, a cily must enter both a float and a band in order to participate. Stiles hopes that the next trip will see a better-supported expedition. The band members enjoyed their stay at Reed College, he says. About 18 band members were routed out of their rooms, however, to assist In decorating the Moose Lodge float on Thurs day evening until 10:30. He says that the band stood up well under Ihe long strain of a two and one half hour parade. One majorette became faligued and dropped out temporarily. Judging Criticized Stiles had hearty commendation for the 64 band members who raised $601, largely through rib bon sales, to help finance the trip. He feels that judging was un fair in that his band was not notified at what point in the line of march the band was to be judged. "I understood that juds3 ing was lo be at the beginning of the parade," Stiles said. "Actual ly, judging took place about two miles away." Stiles thinks that all bands should be aware of the place of judging, and should have a chance to appear at their peak. "The band probably did not win because it was inconsistent. We were not at our best when pass ing the judges stand. We played our most difficult of four selec tions at the judges stand after a fatiguing march." Bands were judged on the basis of 100 points, 40 for playing, 30 for marching and 30 for appear ance. Grants Pass took first place for out-of-Portland bands, and Vancouver, Wash., got an honor able menlion. Bands from Hills boro and Newberg also competed. Two guest bands from Kalispell and Sunburst, Mont., also per formed, but were not judged.

He explained that amount of content should make Jenkins "quite drunk." The highest alcohol content he has seen, Dr. Harris said, was .5 gram per cubic centimeter, and in that case the person was dead. Hunt For Shotgun Futile Former District Attorney Robert G. Davis, who investigated the kill ing, testified that, he, State Police Sgt. Holly V. Holcomb and Smith returned to Camas Valley early May 13 to try to find the murder weapon. Ha and Sgt. Holcomb combed a grain field at the direction of Smith who later jokingly admitted he knew the gun wasn't there, Davis said. "We joked back and forth con cerning sending Sgt. Holcomb and myself on a 'wild goose chase' in the wet grain field," Davis said. Others testifying for the state Tuesday were Deputy Sheriff Ira Byrd; Lt. Jack H. Bearss, state police firearms expert; Deputy Coroner Robert Bellows, former Deputy Sheriff Clarence Shrout, State Police Sgt.

A State Unemployment Compen sation Commission report, listing final payroll figures for 1951, shows Douglas County with a gain of 17.5 per cent, over 1950, as compared with 15.3 per cent gain for the slate as a whole. Douglas County's covered pay rolls ia 1951 totalled $54,608,517 in 1951, as compared with $46,473,780 in 1950 and only $4,200,199 in 1941. Covered payrolls are those listed through the Unemployment Com pensation Commission, Although Douglas County crowd ed Marion County out of third spot, Ihe standing is not a true reflection of total payroll, as state workers are not covered and Marion Coun ty does not receive credit in the report for the state payroll. Multnomah County holds first place with $529,809,317 a gain of 13.4 per cent from 1950. Lane Coun ;ty climbed over the $100 million j mark in second spot for a total of 5104,452,568, a gain of 22.2 per cent. I Marion County, in fourth place, had payrolls amounting io aaj.wi,- 998, a gain oi ii.i per cem. The report indicates a race shap ing up between Douglas and Coos Counties. Coos County with a total of $50,436,958, was in fifth place, but had a gain of 23 per cent. The largest percentage gain was in Curry County, 66.2 per ceni, a jump from $2,590,237 in 1950 to $4, 306,014 in 1951.
