AIRPORT LEE PLAN BECOMES Objection to Small Rental On big Investment is Voiced at Meet Budget Committee Will be Named Early; Yew Park Gets a Policeman New Federal Taxes are in Effect Today Summer Inertia was on the council Monday night with the re sult that a two-hour session pro voked little debate although a number of matters were carried to conclusion before the meeting ended. When the matter of a five-year lease to L. U. Eyerly of Salem's $50,000 municipal airport came up, there was a flash of the de bate which distinguished the city solons in the old days of street closing and municipal water sys tem purchase. The leasing ordinance provided a five-year contract with Eyerly wherein he secured the use of the airport and its equipment as well as all fees, for $150 a year for three years and the same amount each of the last two years, except that those years he paid half the fees to the city. "It's a darned crime to get only that much on a $50,000 invest ment" roared Alderman Henry Vandevort. "Why, I'd pay $100 a year for rental of the airport as sheep pasture and another siou for use of the tractor." Alderman Chris Kowitz joined in protest with Vandevort, declar ing the lease of the field at the stated figure was Just a "subsi dy to the industry and firm rent ing the field." Dancy, defending the lease, said the airport as a city project was a "mistake" which now had to be made the most of. Alderman Hal D. Patton pro tested the lease and the airport's construction in the first place and said he favored the sale of the land by the city or its sub-division Into building lots. "The" airport was forced upon us as a legion program," Patton said, "and we have found the airport an unwant ed baby on our doorstep." Budget Committee Appointed Early After further debate In, which all parties agreed any lease en tered Into for the airport should not be for longer than a year, the matter was referred back to the airport committee. No other action was taken. The council agreed upon an in novation In Us financial planning by voting to have each alderman appoint his member of the 1933 budget committee at the next council meeting. With 1933 bud get estimates which will shortly thereafter be made available from each department of city govern ment, the budget committee has several months to prepare an es timate of a budget later to be adopted by the council. Alderman Patton, in proposing the change said there had always been complaint that the budget committee had little or no part in shaping city finances. To give the committee more time to function he proposed its early appointment. Vandevort opposed the plan as useless and said the aldermen would vote to keep things as they are, regardless of any cuts the budget committee might make. The majority of tine councilmen favored Patton's proposal as one which could do no harm and might result In improving the budget committee's power. Under the law each alderman names one member of the budget committee from among the citizens of Salem. Alderman Dancy immediately an nounced that he would name Douglas McKay, mayor-elect, as his member of the budget com mittee. As bad been predicted, the council approved an ordinance which will submit a charter amendment to the voters, extend ing the newly approved civil ser vice law to the city police depart ment. The matter will be before the voters at the forthcoming No vember election. It approved an ordinance taking dog-catching du ties from the street department and entrusting them to the police department. A transfer of funds was not authorized. A resolution providing for the transfer Is ex pected at the next council meet ing. The ordinance committee re ported unfavorably on the propos ed measure to license an wooa dealers to the extent of $100 an nually. The report was adopted and the ordinance, introduced sev ral weeks ago, did not come to a vote. The Yew Park district will get Its much-wanted night patrolman to succeed the late Officer Victor. the council agreed when the. po lice committee recommended such service be given. No extra man will bare to be employed by the department, although the substi tut patrolman serving the last fortnight will be retained until July 1 when the new regular man . roe onto the lob. A. 8. Henderson, newly elected alderman to succeed W. D. Evans, was named on four committees by the committee on committee. ' He will be chairman of the ordinance , committee, and he will hold mem berships on the committee of ways and means, accounts and current expenses and health and sanlta- tlon. v--'- - WASHINGTON, June 10 (AP) The revenue - producing machinery of the government be gan turning faster tonight, bring ing Into the treasury additional millions under the new tax bill designed to balance the budget for the first time in two years.

No resolutions were presented as had been planned. The post's resolution regarding the "bonus marchers", passed at the meeting two weeks ago, was generally misunderstood to mean that the post did not favor pay ment of the bonus, It was stated last night. As a result, a motion to reconsider this resolution was carried. This will be taken up at the next meeting, July 18. Election of delegates to the state legion convention, to be held at Portland Just prior to the na tional convention, also was post poned until the July 18 meeting. Tne post voted thanks to Oliver Huston for his services in direct ing junior baseball both this year and last. Huston announced that 11 of the 1932 players would be eligible next summer. Congratu lations were offered the Wood burn post on the succesa of its Junior baseball team in winning the county championship. After the business meeting, a musical program, arranged In part by Bill Brazeau. was pre sented before the legion and the auxiliary, as follows: Piano solo by Patty Waters, youngest member of the auxil iary; two readings by Mary Alice Jones; violin duet by Austin Wil son And Richard Gookins; vocal soios ana auet by Joan Freegard and Lyle Heckinger, accompanied at the piano by Roy Mack; tongs and tap dances by Delbert Ander son; Edna George and her trick dog.

L. Mc Nary in a telegram addressed to W. H. Trindle, city attorney. Trindle bad taken up with the senator the matter of framing this legislation so that Salem 1 might obtain such funds for wat erworks construction. The sen ator's reply Is as follows: "Wagner bill enlarging base Re construction Finance corporation reported favorably by banking and currency committee and now on senate calendar for action. Stop. Hope to be able to get bill before the senate during the week in my opinion the bill in some form will pass before adjourn ment of congress." The same idea is expressed by Congressman Hawley who was in Salem a brief time Sunday even ing. He thinks it probable that such legislation will be enacted; and says further that the project which Salem proposes is exactly In line with the president's ideas in urging the legislation. Other reports confirm the be lief that legislation of this char acter will be enacted and further that Salem's application for a loan should receive approval. Local Impedimenta Are More Serious The strong Oregon delegation, Senators McNary and Steiwer (Turn to page 2, col. 3) Summer and Longest Day With Us Now Heat of a few days ago may hare led some nn-astronomical persons to believe summer was then at hand, but It was not so. and once again humans found that "things are not what they seem." This first day of summer, too, marks the longest day of the year. The real summer casts its first reflection upon Salem at 7:23 o'clock this morning, when Old Sol makes what la termed a an apparent stop In the heavens. Whether that "stop" Is to bid spring god-speed and wish her well In three seasons that come and go before spring returns again, minute obserbatory Instru ments hare not recorded. At any rate, today the heavens are visited by the summer solstice, and the heavens reflect It to the earth In terms of warm weather for three months to come. A little advance sample was furnished on Monday when the mercury reach ed 90 degrees. Strictly speaking, the summer solstice Is that time in the move ment of the sun at which it is farthest north from the equator, or at the first point of the sign of Cancer. This year, scientists have writ ten, that time will be about 7:23 this morning.

The assistant chairman called OREGON RELIEF PROGRAM TOLD AT CONFERENCE Mobilize Idle Hands and Idle Crops is Chief Feature Of Meier's Plan Committee Will Coordinate Efforts of Agencies Is Announced PORTLAND, June 20 (AP) Organization of a state-wide relief program for the unemployed and the needy was begun here today under the personal direction of Governor Julius L. Meier, who had called upon delegates from all parts of the state to meet with him for the purpose. Mobilization of Idle hands and idle produce, much of which may be wasted because cost of harvest ing is greater than market re turns, would be undertaken for general relief of the needy during the winter months under a plan outlined today. The governor appointed an ex ecutive committee to coordinate the efforts of relief agencies and to devise a plan by which federal aid for relief purposes, if con gress makes an appropriation, may be used most effectively. Seek Crops That Won't be Gathered The conference recommended that local forces start immediately to discover crops which may not be harvested so that unemployed men may be put to work conserv ing this food, as the first step in the plan to store up food for the winter months. Details of the general plan are to be considered later this week at a meeting of the executive com mlttee and Governor Meier. Members of the committee nam ed by the governor are: Raymond B.
