County's Schoo! Support Increase
To Lower Tax Levies In Districts
By BILL HENLEY JR.
News-Review Staff Writer
Douglas County School officials
can truthfully say "There's good
news today," without the sand-bagging
which often went on by the
Radio Commentator Gabriel Heat
ter, who made famous that expres
sion. Gabe Heatter would start off
like that. Then he'd follow through
with a cheerful piece about a Kan
sas farm girl who grew a rare
three-stemmed sunflower. And, la
ter, he'd detail the 3,000 killed in
a tvphoon somehwere and govern
ment taxes raising 300 per cent.
The school district is all to the
mustard, however, on one item
an increase of $10 to $30 per cen
sus child in the county school area.
Candidate Charges
Error In Ballots ,
PORTLAND (AP) Another
ballot error has been charged to
the office of Secretary of State
Howell Appling Jr.
James Rossman of Portland
said .Monday the office made a
mistake in his campaign slogan
for Republican delegate-at-large
to the GOP national convention.
He suggested that Appling order
the reprinting of all Republican
primary election ballots, or that
ha instruct county clerks to use
a sticker to correct the error.
Rossman said his slogan should
have read: "Nixon for President.
Elect an experienced, qualified
Republican to represent you."
Instead, said Rossman, this is
how it reads: "Nixon for presi
dent elect and xperienced, quali
fied Republican to represent you."
Rossman said: "My ballot slo
gan, as incorrectly certified by the
Secretary of Slate, is incompre
hensible, ungrammatical and illit
erate. It makes no sense whatso
ever, "It could result in my losing the
election. It holds me up to ridi
cule... In the event there are no
remedies available to correct this
error. I have instructed my attor
ney to determine wether or not
the secretary of state can be sued
personally for the damage done
dv his error."
Recently Appling's office listed
Gene B. "Conklin incorrectly as a
candidate for delegate-at-large to
the Democratic national conven
tion. Conklin is running for dele
gate from the second congres
sional district.
Anpling said today that Ross
man had told him "he does not
consider the typo serious enough
1o spend any significant amount
of taxoayers' money correcting.
"We certainly agree with him
on that. I would certainly hale to
think, as he suggests, that the out
come of an election rests on such
a triviality."

The Douglas County Court and its
budget committee recently au
thorized this. Court official's ex
plained that timber revenue put it
in a position to make the addi
tion. The over all increase, which is
based upon 1959 school census fig
ures (and by the way figured on
age-bracket youngsters, not- those
actually attending school), will be
$459,080. This, added to the basic
$229,540, will realize Douglas Coun
ty $668,620 in school aid this year.
It will reduce the millage in all
county districts, of course, said
William Campbell, assistant super
intendent of schools. In lowly
evalulatcd Myrtle Creek and high-ly-school
populated Roseburg it'll
mean considerable difference. By
contrast it is of minor importance
in highly-limber financed, COPCO
aided Glide School District and in
low-school populated Ash Valley.
Camnbell nointed out that the
county's decision came after all
county school budgets were made
and public notices posted on the
election over the 6 per cent limita
tion from basic school tax figures.

trict (in order 01 ineir decreasing

Complaint Made
Of Oakland Dogs
Many complaints concerning
dogs running at large have been
received by Oakland police.
Five persons told Chief of Po
lice C. W. Manning that dogs were
running loose spoiling their flow
ers, garden and lawns.
A citv ordinance requires that
dogs shall not run at large while
off the owners' property, even
though they're required to be on
a leash. It also .provides that all
dogs over eight months of age
shall have a county dog license
whether they're tied, in a pen or
in the house.
The only dogs to be impounded
are' strays "dumped on the city"
without an owner. Persons hav
ing such dogs should notify the po
lice and they'll be picked up and
turned over to the Douglas Coun
ty dog control officials.
The penally for allowing dogs to
run at large is $10 for the mini
mum and $50 for the maximum.
and if dog owners continue to
i be
their dogs run at large uiey
issued a court citation.
Children riding bicycles and
i hoses should leave their dogs at
home as the dog is not under con
trol unless on a leash.
Cats running at large have also
resulted in complaints, but the
chief said there is no law cover
ing them.

Burglar Sentenced
To Term In Prison
Robert Kieth Reymann, 23, Myr-
lie LreeK, was sentenced to serve
four years and eight months in
the state penitentiary Monday aft
er he pleaded guilty to the bur
glary of Vedder's Market in Rid
dle Dec. 14.
A second charge of burglary not
in a dwelling was dismissed by the
district attorney's office.
Actually, Circuit Judge Charles
Woodrich issued a sentence of five
years, but Reymann was given
credit of four months he has spent
in jail awaiting action on both
charges.
When Reymann was indicted by
the Douglas County Grand Jurv in
January for the Vedder's Market
burglary, he pleaded innocent. He
changed that plea Monday.
He was charged in the indict
ment with breaking a window in
the Riddle store on Dec. 14 to gain
entry. He then stole a television
set, clothing, cigarettes and other
items, the arresting sheriffs dep
uty said.
In the indictment which was
dropped, Reymann was charged
with stealing tires from Radford's
Chevron Service Station at the
Riddle-Highway 99 junction on Dec.
11.
Reymann also gained attention
about several months ago when he
tried to escape from custody while
being taken to a preliminary hear
ing. He was captured by a deputy
sheriff before he could scamper
from the courthouse.

Council Offers Three Plans
To Serve Sanitary District;
Annexation Least Expensive
By BILL SPARKS
News-Review Staff Writer
The Roseburg City Council Mon
day night firmed up three tcnlu
live proposals for the installation
of sanitary sewer service for the
East Roseburg Sanitary District.
Sanitary district president Alton
Andrews said following tno coun-
cil meeting he plans to call a pub-1
lie hearing of residents in the dis
trict sometime next week to dis
cuss the proposals.
The three proposals adopted by
the council Monday night are:
1. For the district to construct
its own sewage disposal plant,
2. For the district to become an
nexed to Ihe city.
3. For the city to handle the dis-
Aircraft Plant
Site Changed
Plans for construction of a
plant to build Uie Thalman Mid-
wing airplane have been shifted
from the east side of the Rose
burg Airport to the airport's south
end.
City Manager John Warburlon
told the City Council Monday night
Ihe location shift of the proposed
aircraft plant was made because
of a previous ruling by the Fed
eral Avialion Agency which desig
nated the airport as a trunk air
port." This ruling slatus says that no
project of the type that would
be involved in the Thalman opera
lion can be carried out within 500
feet of the runway. The old hangar
1 batman had planned to use is to
calcd with 3ri0 feet of the runway
used by both private craft and
West Coast Airlines.
Warburlon said it was a mailer
of shifting the location of the pro
j lion of the airport changed to that
posed plant or having the uesigna
of a "local airport.'
Both ho and Thalman Aircraft
Corp. representative Lynn Andreas
said Ihey felt 11 would be best tor
Itoscburg to maintain Us trunk
airport designation, which will
nlay a bia part in future expan
sion of commercial air travel and
air freight operations in and out of
the city,
Andreas said Ihe location at (he
south end of the runway would
actually be more beneficial to the
type of operation proposed by the
inaiman uoip.
Plans to dale have worked out
sinoollily for location of tho air
craft manufacturing plant here.
The FAA has voiced no objection
to tho proposed project other than
the trunk line designation rcquuo
ment. Thalman lias asked for lease of
the airport land for $1 per year
until the plant is put into opera
tion. The city has tentatively
agreed to this.
Girls Miraculously
Safe After Crash
Two girls Monday afternoon al
most miraculously escaped injury
when the car in which they were
riding plunged over a guard rail
and down a river embankment
near Roseburg.
Slate police said the driver, Vic
kie Lee Bean, 16, of 1030 W. Har
vard Ave., lust control of the car
during heavy rain while north
bound along the Pacific Freeway
about a half mile south of the Mili
tary Ave. interchange.
The ear skidded, bounced along
a guardrail for about 100 feet,
bumped over the rail and headed
down the embankment for about
20 feet.
A passenger was Christl Lynn
Bean, 12.
Probably keeping the girls from
injury was the fact that the car
didn't roll. State police, however,
guessed that the vehicle was a to
tal wreck.
Pianist, Vocal Group Complete
Program For New Concert Series
A pianist and I vocal music
group will round out the Roseburg
Community Concert Assn.'s scries
of four concerts for the 1960B1
season, Miss Gladys Strong, presi
dent, announced today.
Selection of the final artists was
made at the conclusion of the as
sociation's annual membership
campaign, completed successfully
Saturday. Miss Strong stated that
the last two selections, however,
are subject to final confirmation
by Ihe New York offices of Colum
bia Artists as to availability and
dates.
The pianist is David Bar-Ulan,
described as 1 pianist of Ihe ro
mantic school and said, by the
New York Herald Tribune, to be !
"one of Israel's most exciting'
young musicians." This season hci
'debuts
in tour performances, with

Appeal to those who enjoy light
opera and Broadway musicals was
considered in selecting the fourth
concert, dated Feb. 5. This will be
The Little Music Theatre, featur
ing "final vocal artistry and the
atrical savoir-faire." The trio of
I riot's sewage on a fee basis, but
only on the grounds such a con
tract would be approved by the
voters of the city.
Mayor Arlo Jacklin said the
third possibility would be left
strictly up to the voters of the
city. He pointed out this is due to
the city ordinance which stipulates
the city shall not offer contracted
sewage treatment for areas itnme-
diately adjacent to the city limits
nd which are in a logical loca
tion for annexation.
Andrews said he was highly
pleased with the council's cooper
ative attitude and added he hopes
to start action immediately which
will lead to one form or another
of sewage treatment for the dis
trict. City Engineer Ken Meng pre
sented facts and figures at the
council meeting which show it
would be $2.40 per person per
month cheaper for the area to
become an annexed part of the city
than it would be to have the sew
age treated on a fee basis. The
figures also indicate it would be
$2.17 cheaper as part of the city
than if the district construcieo 11s
own treatment facilities.
Meng said these figures are for
the cost of sewage treatment, fire
insurance and current fire district
lux mill levies and the proposed
35 mill levy for city taxes.
The city engineer's tabulations
show it would cost $17.13 per per
son per month for these three
items if the district were to con
struct its own facilities. It would
cost $17.36 per month if the sew
age, was handled on a contract
basis, as compared to $14.96 per
month if the area was an annex
ed part of the city.
Basis Made For Costs
These figures, Meng said, were
made on a house with $10,000 mar
ket value with $2,000 contents on a
lot with 100 feet of frontage and
not located more than 500 feet from
a fire hydrant.
Houses of other values, sizes and
locations would vary in accord
ance with the same scale, he said.
The East Roseburg Sanitary Dis
trict contains some 300 houses,
with a population of about 1,100.
Last year's assessed valuation in
the district was about b5u.uuo.
If a contract were .worked out,
it would be based generally on a
$2,000 yearly flat fee and $W per
million gallons of sewage treated.
Sewer service charge to residents
of the district on a contract basis
would be $4.50 per month, as com
pared to $2 per month charged to
cily residents.
It is estimated it would cost the
district about $140,000 to construct
its own treatment plant. Estimated
overhead at the plant would be
$7,400 per year.
