County Agent Is Favored at
Annual Meeting of
Taxpayers.
Eugene, Ore., Dec. 31.—Discussion
of the question of employing a
county agricultural agent and that
of the timber cruise were outstand
ing features of the annual budget
meeting of Lane county taxpayers
at the court house Monday. A
motion to retain tho item for the
county agent carried by a large
majority and the meeting went
on record as favoring a timber
cruise,
All other items in tho
budget as agreed upon previously
by the budget committee were ac-
cepted with very little discussion
and comment.
The meeting was quiet and or
derly, being vastly different from
the one a year ago when the two
forrtier county commissioners were
under fire from the start of the
meeting at 10 a. m. until it ad-
journed late in the afternoon, and
when the court room where the
meeting was held was a scene of
bedlam at times.
Assessor Keeney, toward the end
of the meeting, was allowed to
discuss the question of the timber
cruise which he had touched upon
previously.
He said that only
little more than 100,000 acres of
timber had been cruised by M. G.
Neuss’s men this year and 700,000
acres remained uneruised.
Com
missioner Hurd rose to remark that
he, as a county official, would not
stand for the kind of a timber
cruise that Lane county had this
year, “I believe it was a fake
from start to finish,” he said.
“What wo need is a decent, snusre
cruise. I am in favor of that kind
of one.”
After discussion on the part of
a number of others, a motion that
tho meeting go on record as favor
ing a cruise was carried with no
opposition.
TMAW IS HELP TO ALL
FRUIT TREES, STEWART
“Although the change in weather
may not suit everybody, it is a
great help to the orchard men,”
according to C. E. Stewart, county
fruit inspector. “The gradual thaw
will not damage the bark and cause
splits as would happen if there was
a sudden thaw and another freeze.
It looks as if the present change
would be gradual.” Mr. Stewart is
advising all orchard owners to look
for splits on the south side of the
trees, as there is where the damage
will come.
For 35 cents a little wantad will
