Need Of Upped Budget

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.

body contained .25 gram of alco
hol per 100 cubic centimeters of
blood. 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

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

Payrolls Boost
Douglas County
Into Third Spot
Douglas County, which stood 14th
In covered payrolls among Oregon
counties In 1941, moved into third
place, ahead of Marlon County, in
1951.
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.

Quam said the water will be
