Data Will Be Submitted Show
ing Affairs Here Not Con
ducted Extravagantly.
County Judge Barnard is prepar
ing comparative budgets to bo pre
sented at the Lane county budget
meeting December 29 and will sub
mit a table to show that Coos coun
ty, although containing but five-
eighths the population of Lane
county and having about five-
eighths the taxable property, pays
its county officers much more than
Lane county does and budgets
larger sums for other departments.
The judge’s figures will show
that Coos county pays its sheriff
$3000 as against $2000 paid in
Lane county, the county judge gets
$2400 while the salary of the judge
of Lane is but $1500; the clerk re
ceives $2400 whilo only $2000 is
paid by this county; the treasurer
of Coos gets $2100 as against $1500
here and tho county agent in that
county is given $3000 out of the
county’s funds, whilo Lane oounty
appropriates only $2500.
The county budget of Coos pro
vides $35,958 for the care of the
poor while Lane county has bud
geted $35,000. For juvenile work
Coos county has allotted $2500 and
Lane $1200 and a number of other
items in the budget of the eoast
county exceed those for the same
purpose in Lane.
Judgo Barnard has prepared
theso figures to show that Lane
county is not oxtravagant in the
conduct of its affairs.
It is probable that the state
legislature at its session in January,
1927, will be asked to advance the
salaries of nearly all of the county
officials of Lane, but as nothing
can bo dono towards this until the
legislature meets, the present of
ficials w'll receive the same Salary
in 1920 ns they have always re
ceived. “It is generally conceded,”
said Judge Barnard, “that all the
county officers are underpaid. It
is very difficult to got good men
to accepts tho offices when they
can mnke much more in other lines
of work.”
If any in Cottago Grove went
without Christmas cheer, it was
because their needs were not
learned by any of tho several or
ganizations that distributed the
makings for Christmas dinners.
The Salvation Army and Elks
combined in distributing three auto
moble loads of baskets containing
many necessities and a few luxur
ies. Sacks of flour and like sub
stantial articles of food went to
many and all received chicken to
be sewed on the great holiday.
The Masonic lodge distributed food
and flowers. Probably other lodges
did likewise. In no case was lodge
affiliation considered in the distri
bution. The churches of the city
also made many families happy and
convinced many little ones that
there really is a Santa Claus. Con
tributions taken up at the schools
wero distributed through the Moth
era’ club. Included in the contri
butions wore 150 quarts of fruit,
two 100-pound sacks of potatoes,
three boxes of apples, other veg
etables and several bundles of
