This amount is due during the fiscal year beginning July ' 1, 1927, ac cording to information received ly the state forester recently'. The -funds will be used in fire prevention work on both state and private lands. The financial cooperation be tween the state and federal gov ernment is contingent upon the state having a well organized pro tective .system which Is designed to Rive the same degree of protec tion to denuded fdrest land that it does to merchantable timber. In order to receive federal funds it is necessary for the state forester to present a budget of the proposed expenditures for fire prevention work within the state during the ensuing year. The amount of the federal reimbarse ment or allotment is fixed at a certain percent of this budget. The state forester, in turn, re quires all private, fire prevention associations v-within, the state to submit budgets covering their contemplated expenditures for the ensuing year. The allotments to the various associations are baaed wi upon the amount of these budgets and the amount of denuded for est 'land coming-under the juris diction of the various associations. -The 'allotments for the coming fiscal year have been fixed by the state forester as follows: Baker County Fire association 4 75, Clackamas-Marion County (Continued on page 3.)

The proposed budget, prepared Ouring the past few weeks in the office of E. F. Averill. state game warden and secretary of the game ' inniission, allows total expendi ure of $322,075. This is approxi mately $35,500 less than was spent hiring the fiscal year of 1926. hile the income is estimated at a l proximately that of last year, tlie commission takes into consid eration a number of unpaid bills unci a deficit of about $12,000, !-t ' wn in the report issued Janu ary 31, 1926.

Among-The Mosfe Beautiful In Tlie State, Instituting a commission-city form of government, putting in new bridges across streams in the city, installing a city market for farmers' produce, rebuilding the drainage and sewer system on the basis of a 50,000 population, and procuring an incinerator for gar bage these are some of the things that Mayor T. A. Livesley would like to see brought about in Salem, he declared in an ad dress at the chamber of commerce luncheon Monday. The present city council and committees are as efficient as any one could he under the form of government that Salem has, hut they cannot be expected to devote the necessary time to city business when they are not paid for it, the mayor said. The First National Bank build ing, erected by Livesley in the past year, represents his faith in Sa lem's future, he stated. Livesley objected to the use of the term "monument," in connection with the building, declaring that he had built it, not as a monument but as a necessity. The city's popu lation will double within the next five or ten years, he predicted. "Nature has done a great deal for us. "We ought to do our part in making Salem a city beautiful," Livesley said in discussing the re placement of old. fragile bridges with new, attractive ones instead of patching the present structures.
