The OREGON STATESMAN,, Salem, Oreren, Thursday. Morning.' December t 1932 PAGE THREE . w KB L' n Of .Promised Condemnation Against Bogard Building At Woodburn Building Activity For St ay ton Surprisingly Large, Check Discloses WOODBURN, Dec. 7. In an attempt to influence some imme diate settlement between the owners of the Bogard building, Front street structure that was gutted by fire in July and the two Insurance companies involv ed, a motion that the property owners and the insurance com panies, Milwaukee Mechanics and National Ben Franklin, be in formed that action for condem nation proceedings against, re maining part of the building will be pushed unless some sort of settlement be started before De cember 20, was Tuesday night at council meeting. Maurice Bogard, who was pres ent, indicated that the owners and the insurance companies have not yet been able to reach an agreement satisfactory to all three parties. The first step in condemnation proceedings would be to hire an engineer to deter mine whether or not the build ing is really dangerous. The council Indicated that they would not like to push condemnation unless forced to. The matter was suggested by Councilman Miller, who indicated that Mrs. Mayme Cochrane owner of the adjoining building, had asked whether something can be done about the bricks from the burned building falling on her building, causing some damage. Thff CTty treasurer and city at torney were instructed to go over the list of city's property to be offered for sale soon by the county for delinquent taxes. The recorder was instructed to pre sent a bill for 5 to the county for use of the city hall at elec tion time. Some discussion about the ad visability and necessity of fore closing on the Nick Miller prop erty, at the corner of First and Garfield streets, was discussed. although no action was taken Recorder Beach Indicated that he had received inquiries about renting the office building on the Miller property. The council adjourned till Thursday at 7:30 D. m., when the city budget will be consid ered. Some material reductions have been made in the proposed budget. STAYTON. Dec. 7. When on , comes to check up on the building that has been done here in the past few months, it is almost un believable. Many people, wishing to get away from rent, or for oth er reasons have taken advantage of the low price of labor and building materials to build homes of their own. The most pretentious residence was that built for a parish house by the Catholic people of this par ish. This fine large brick structure is a credit to the town. A double 1 . ick garage was also built on the property. Among the larger homes are the Mrs. F. Hottlnger house, south of the Catholic church, the W. P. Brantley bouse, in the west part of town attdthe Fred Fery home on the West Stayton road. Other smaller homes ranging from three to five rooms have been built or are under construc tion by Don Goode, west of the family home; Gilbert Wourms, east of the Frank Schumacher place; Ben Gunsaules near the S. CROWD GAT HERS TO C. LEWISES M. Gunsaules home; Glen Yoeman, on a six-acre tract north of the Jack Neberta property; A. C. Booker, on lota purchased from Mrs. Martha Brown, south of Ed ward J. Bell's; Mrs. Bebekah Klm sey, small residence near the Arch Kimsey borne on Mehama road; E. R. Clark, on the Mayo place on West Stayton road; A. Hartman, east of Sublimity and opposite the S. Boedigheimer place; William Merer la building a garage near the Alva Meyers place, which he expects to occupy until such time as he is ready to build a house. All the above mentioned resi dences, with the exception of one or two are plastered and up to date in every respect. Dr. C. H. Brewer built a fine seven-room office building, of hol low tile, which adds to the appear ance of the main street. Raymond Ditter has a large building under construction on the M. Muller property, which he will use as an auto-wrecking establishment. Undoubtedly, even during the winter months there will be more building. CHOIR. ORCHESTRA PRESENT PROGRAM MONMOUTH.

M'BEE ADVOCATES LAWS RELIEF arm Leader Says Budget Parings not Sufficient For Taxpayers BETHEL, Dee. 7. State Pres ident L. H. McBee of Dallas and Ronald Jones of Brooks were the speakers at the meeting of the Bethel local of the Farmers un ion Monday night. Mr. McBee told of his trip to the national convention of the Farmers' un ion at Omaha. He stated that the tax situation seems to bo as bad In the other states as It is here In Oregon. He suggests that the load of taxation can' be lightened, by cutting the salaries of the high er-ups; the salary of the man ho is getting 112,000 rather than the man who is getting $1200. A farmer must pay his taxes from the products of his farm. It requires about 27,000 bushels of wheat at present price in Salem to pay one year's salary of a $12,000 man. Relief for this situation cannot be had through the county budget meetings, but must be secured through the legislature, he said. Ronald Jones spoke on the gas and oil business. A pool was formed for the purchase of land plaster. The Bethel local voted to join the Tax Reduction league. A. L. Schulz, H. H. Boles and E. A. Rhoten were appointed to at tend the budget meeting. Bethel local unanimously en dorsed the action of the state ex ecutive board in keeping the Farmer union name and man agement or various new cooper ative undertakings. The January meeting will be election of officers. The Marion county convention will be enter talned by the Sidney-Talbot local Saturday, January 7. MffiNHEJ West Salem News WEST SALEM, Dec 7.
