PLAN BECOMES
Objection to Small Rental
On big Investment is
Voiced at Meet

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 council agreed when the. po

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:

of the Portland community chest;

held Its annual meeting at the

1493 warrants and $500 on a note.
Indebtedness, other than that
bonded, at the end of the 19 30-31
school year was $128,000.
If all tax moneys due the dis
trict had been received at the time
the report was made, the general
Indebtedness would have been ap

Burghardt pointed out. Of this
amount, $40,000 Is due from re
