Police Claim Wave of Burglaries, Petty Thefts and Car Prowlings rrests r a r in aaie Cleared bv A j in i Arrest of two more juveniles, one nabbed by Portland police at a navy recruiting office where he was seeking to join up, and their admission Friday of numerous burglaries and car prowlings apparently cleared a wave of petty thievery which has tormented Salem police since before the first of the year. i Clarence Cutsinger, 16, of 1040 North 17th street, was picked up by Portland police for Salem po lice. Joe Hankins, 15, of 637 North 17th street, was arrested at his home here. Both were charged with burglary and were certified to juvenile court in justice : cotfrt Friday. j Cutsinger and Hankins admit ted, police said, that they ; had worked with Jesse Waiter Bar ham, 17, charged earlier with burglary. In a number of house prowls and store pllferings. Police further cleared their list of burglary - cases when Eugene while helping from a truck. unload a tractor decedent. Scott, state treasurer, declared here Friday, Scott said the tax departments 6f the states have been circulized warning them of the peril to state revenues and urging them to send protests to the ways and means committee of the house of repre sentatives at Washington.! - It was pointed out that the pro posed federal income increases wquld be destructive to estates as well as to state revenue. Citing a $1,000,000 estate as an example, Scott said the normal Oregon inheritance tax of $75,775 with the proposed federal tax of $442,455 would result in approxi mately 52 per cent of the estate being taken for death taxes. This percentage, he said, is based on the' minimum Oregon tax, but would be enhanced materially if the estate passed to collateral heirs of a deceased person or persons bearing no blood relationship to a Realty Board Votes Against Paid Parking Report of a special committee to investigate the parking meter proposal brought spirited discus sion before the Salem Realty board expressed in a unanimous vote opposition to the plan. A proposal that some solution to the parkirfg problem be found was referred! to the planning com mittees Ernest Miller suggested free public parking lots, which he said might include the east lawns of the courthouse and postoffice. J. D. Sears proposed that merchants find space other than downtown for parking their vehicles. ! The committee reported oppo sition was due to a feeling that pay parking would drive cus tomers from downtown and would not . solve the present problems of congestion. : Charles V. Galloway, chairman of the state tax commission, spoke concerning 'the! commis sion's recent decision on Multno mah county's varied ratio man ner of valuation of property for assessment He said the decision was based on an Oregon law of 1854, which had been amended five times and as late as the last session of the legislature. Its prin ciple of valuation by "equal and rateable proportion" in relation to the true cash value stood through out, he remarked. : On Blotter Jack Cornelia. 1767 A street, is charged on the police blotter with having no driver's li cense.

Redemption of Tax Foreclosure Property increases Under New , Law County Agent Asserts : t One-third of the 450 pieces oi property advertised for tax foreclosure last July will have been redeemed by the time the year of grace has passed, William Thielsen, Marion county pro perty agent, estimated Friday. . , ' r t Redemption under the new law within the 12-months per iod will prove a saving to property owners and county alike if Thiel sen's guess approaches fact and close to one-third of the foreclo sure lists have already been cross ed out county officials, agree. Most of the redemptions were arranged shortly after the properties were advertised July 5, but recent weeks have found other property owners paying the- required back taxes and interest to remove their lands from the list Under the previous law, former owners were given three years af ter foreclosure, to bring suit pay tax: bills, costs and foreclosure sale price to purchasers and thus redeem their property.. - .,, CIRCUIT COURT .
