Deschutes Dam
Talks Resume
MADRAS, Ore. (AP) A hear
ing on a Portland General Elec
tric Co. bid to build a Deschutes
River dam, which drew determin
ed opposition and warm support
the first day, resumes today.
The opening day was devoted
largely to technical testimony on
the 71-million-doUar project by
Brig. Gen. O. E. Walsh (Ret).
PGE vice president in charge of
engineering.
PGE seeks state Hydroelectric
Commission approval to build a
dam on the Round Butte site of
the Deschutes River in Central
Oregon. It would be a rock filled
structure seven miles upstream
from the existing Pelton project,
which dams the Deschutes, Crook
ed and Metolius rivers.
The Oregon Game and Fish
commissions jointly declared the
project as "detrimental to the
fishery resources of the Deschutes
River."
The Madras and other Central
Oregon chambers of Commerce
told the state Hydroelectric Com
mission hearing they favored the
project. The Madras economy still
is booming from the Pelton Dam
construction.
The Warm Springs Indians, who
will get some $200,000 annually
from PGE after the project is
built, also favor it.

County Budget Requests
Laid Before Committee
28 Divisions Itemize
Boosts For Operation
A request for $2,075,298 to run
56 Douglas County departments
and agencies during the coming
year was laid before the six-man
County Budget Committee Wed
nesday.
This is an amount exclusive ot
appropriations for county road
construction and maintenance
which last year totaled an added
3.5 million dollars.
Budget Committee members
opened their annual spring series
of budget hearings Wednesday by
electing Harold Woolley of Drain
their new chairman. Serving with
him are Clay Ulam, Canyonville,
Adrian Standley of Glide and the
three members of the Douglas
County Court, Judge V. T. Jack
son and Commissioners Huron W.
Clough and Elmer Metzger.
Requests for operating during fis
cal 1959-60 represented a budget
increase of $61,860 over the $2,013,
440 approved last year.
Half Ask Increases
Of the 56 divisions of county
government reporting, 28 sought
increases ranging from a few hun
dred dollars up to $30,000 over last
year's appropriations. Eleven oth
ers requested less money while
the remaining departments asked
for the same amount they got at
this time in 1958.
Still to be submitted Is the Road
Department budget which will not
be ready for consideration for a
week or more.
A spokesman for the Budget
Committee said yesterday the
county still is uncertain what can
be expected from O&C and Forest
Service monies which make up
the bulk of funds for road work.

Winston Dates
Friday Election
Winston residents will go to the
polls Friday to vote on a city budg
et and two separate measures.
Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to
8 p.m. at the city hall.
The proposed budget is for $38,
492, which would require an esti
mated 32 mills tax levy, based on
present and anticipated assessed
valuation for the city.
The over-all budget calls for $92,
150. Of this $57,675 will be obtained
inside the limitation, leaving a bal
ance of $34,475. Adding $4,017 in
uncollected taxes leaves the final
balance of $38,492 for balloting.
One of the separate issues is a
special levy of $3,000 or an esti
mated 2Yt mills to cover the cost
of constructing a storage building
for city equipment.
The second measure is tor a spe
cial levy of $6,000 or an estimated
5V4 mills to cover the cost of an
extra police officer for the city.
Mayor W. F. (Bill) ScheU an
nounced the city has hired an ex
tra full-time employe, Ezra Ex
ceen, who will be employed on
street maintenance, but who win
also spend 15 to 20 hours weekly as
as a police force officer.

brary Board which has asked for
$124,412 for the coming year. Last
year budget makers allowed the
department $94,162.
Large Request Made
Among the larger requests this
year is one from the Welfare De
partment which probably will get
more than $243,000 in county ap
propriations to match federal and
state public assistance monies.
By statute the county must pro
vide $10 per pupil to the various
school districts each year. This
will total an estimated $215,000 in
the next fiscal period.
The County Home will take
around $169,655 to run next year,
and the public Health Department
needs $105,319, according to re
quests. County Assessor Morris C. Bow
ker has asked $106,540 to run his
department, about the same as
last year, and the clerk's office
and county Parks Department,
more than $70,000 each.
The court plans to set aside
$100,000 again this year for emer
gencies, should use of this money
become necessary.

The pile drivers are asking a

The AGC also telegraphed the
state Highway Department asking

The department was scheduled to

The AGC said the striking pile

said the fewer than 100 striking

of allied carpenters and other
construction employes out of work
despite the settlement.
Harding said the AGC "has kept
faith with the other crafts and

In Cost Estimates; 1960
Target Date Set In Program
By BOB CLARK
News-Review Staff Writer
More on schools, page 3.
The Roseburg School Board has
given the go - ahead for San
Francisco and Portland architec
tural firms to draw up and submit
preliminary plans, plus cost esti
mates, for construction and reno
vation in the district prior to the
fall of 1960.
The building plans are basically
two-pronged. They are aimed at
implementing the 6-3-3 setup of
grades which has gained board ap
proval and taking care of expected
enrollment increases over the next
few years.
In a nutshell, the proposed plan
calls for conversion of Fullerton
School to a junior high school, con
struction of two elementary schools
in West Roseburg and various ad
ditions and renovations at Green
School, Roseburg High School and
Joseph Lane and Central Junior
High Schools, plus construction of
a building to house the district's
administrative offices.
Wayne Crooch, board chairman,
noted that architects cannot be
hired outright before money actual
ly is ticketed. But, at the same
time, preliminary plans and cost
estimates are a virtual must before
a bond issue can be proposed to
pay for the construction, he noted.
Thus, E. J. Kump Co., San Fran

izes the "space modular" idea in
its work, and the Portland firm

Transport Plan
Being Initiated
A possible plan and tentative
bid for transporting Roseburg
school children will be submitted
for consideration of the Roseburg
School Board by the district's at
torney, George Neuner, at the
board's June 17 meeting.
Directors turned down a $131,-
000 'low bid by Ellison Transpor
tation Co. a few weeks ago. The
amount budgeted for transporta
tion was only $115,000.
Since rejection of the bid, the
board has sought ways and means
of furnishing adequate transporta
tion service while, at the same
time, cutting costs so. budgeted
funds will be sufficient to cover
the expenditure. " " ' ,
Neuner, in cooperation with El
lison representatives, will rewrite
the previous bid to Include pro
visions whereby the district could
purchase the transportation setup
outright, lease u or enter into a
lease-purchase agreement.
The board will consider a direc
tion to take .on the problem at
the June 17 session. On the basis
drawn up, submitted and opened
in July.
YMCA School Plan
Approved By Board
The Roseburg School Board
Wednesday night gave its approval
for use of playgrounds and all
purpose rooms at five schools by
the YMCA for its summer recrea
tion program.
Wayne Schulz, YMCA executive
secretary, explained to board
members the objectives and pro
posed procedures of the program.
He said the new setup is de
signed to center recreational ac.
tivity for youngsters in their own
neighborhoods instead of at one
central location. Summer recrea
tional activities have been con
ducted by the YMCA only at Cen
tral Junior High School in past
years.
The program will stress recrea
tion as opposed to competitive
sports, noted Schulz. It will be
varied according to age groups
and sex of participants, he added.
The board flashed the go-ahead
with the understanding that proper
supervision by qualified personnel
would be furnished to protect
school property. Schulz assured di
rectors that such would be the case
before approval was given.
The school facilities to be used
for the program will be at River
side, Rose, Benson, Hucrest and
Fullerton Schools.
Indian dwellings have authentic
Indian artifacts for display. Secur
ity, therefore becomes a problem
to make sure that they are not
lost or damaged. A guarantee
would have to be made as to the
safety of any articles loaned.
These and other lesser problems,
such as lighting, other grounds at
tractions to make the Indian vil
lage more authentic and the se
curing of an Indian family to be on
the grounds, were discussed.
June 7 is centennial building day
In Roseburg. Stores will be putting
on their false fronts, and the In
dian village will be built that day.
Another committee meeting is
scheduled for May 27 at the Ump
qua. Representatives from each
service club or other group which
will build a dwelling is asked to be
present with figures on the cost
they will need for their project
and full plans, In order that ma
terial may be obtained for con
struction purposes,
June 17 was set on submission of
the plans and estimates.
