Fine-O-Msters
To Aid Motorists
In Paying Tickets
Violators of overtime parking
regulations in Roseburg won't
have to go to the police station to
pay their fines after Monday.'
Police Chief Stan Olson said a
dozen "fine-o-meters" are to be
posted Monday on Jackson and
Cass streets. People who find
Dai-kins' tickets under their wind-
shield swipes have merely to put
50 cents into an envelope ana pui
the envelope into one of the "fine-o-meters."
The receptacles will be kept
under lock and key by the police
department, and - collections will
be made at the end of each day.
Olson said they would be posted
along both sides of the two streets
in mid-block.
The system has been tried out in
a couple of other Oregon cities, the
chief said, and has resulted in an
increase in payment of fines. Ol
son observed that the system
saves walking for violators and
many out-of-town violators pay up
because of convenience.
Seven of the boxes will go up
along Jackson Street, two along
Cass and Olson said the other three
will be placed "where they can do
the most good." -
Duplicates of parking citations
are to be included in the envelopes
with the money in order that police
can keep a record of payment of
fines.

Errors Blamed For Not
Including Talent Project
(Continued from Page One)
until late Thursday. He was ac
companied to that conference !y
Glenn L. Jackson of Medford, Ore.
Afterwards Ellsworth said lie
was "optimistic" over chances that
a supplemental request will he
sent to Congress, asking funds for
the project. 1
"Apparently the bureau didn't
have either the latest figures or
all Ihe figures showing justifica
tion for the project," he said.
Ellsworth said the bureau had
rejected the project because of
data indicating "the government
would be footing part of the cost
as a subsidy whereas irrigation
projects are required to pay out
with a margin to spare."
" The Oregon representative said
Jackson would work with the Bu
reau of Reclamation, then submit
complete, and up-to-date data. This
will be only a matter of days, the
congressman said. ' ' .
Ellsworth also said a typing
error in a Department of Agricul
ture reoort had reduced the Talent
proiect's return per acre by sev
eral dollars. In addition more than
8.000 acres to be 'irrigated had
been classified as grassland with
a low-income return, instead of
orchard land with a higher return,
he said.
He added that the bureau had
not been told of new figures on
power income, which show an in
come nearly 25 per cent greater
than originally estimated. ... :
Correction of the errors will
make the project compare favor
ably with others lor wnicn lunas
have been asked, Ellsworth said.
