TO Phone 6128 I Gties Seeking Bigger Cut of State Revenue (Story also on Page 1) Greater responsibilities of cities to their ever-increasing populations was cited as the ma jor factor in proposals for the sharing of state taxes with city governments in the areas in which revenues are collected, at last night's regional conference of the League of Oregon Cities at the Golden Pheasant restaurant in Salem. George P. Stadelman, league president and The Dalles mayor, enumerated four major reasons for need of state-collected reve nue by cities. His reasons follow: (1) Oregon's 25 per cent pop ulation increase since 1940 cre ates need for added facilities and more government. (2) Increased costs of mainte nance and improvement, not done during the war years. Increase In Wages (3) Increase in wages for city employes, in order to compete wiui ii.uu.uy H"'",:'l;, own chairman. They get $50 a day Dloyes on a cost of living index,! .

(4) Cities are being looked to w , , r . , ;,.w V wuaf "v . disDosaL airport operation and municipal hospitals in cities. Assessed valuations of some sections of most cities have in creased little from the time they were vacant lots to the present. j when nomes are consruciea on the lots, Herman Kerli, execu tive secretary of the league, said. Ask Tax Increase Het old of an incident at Eu gene where residents .of a newly developed area actually asked for the assessed valuation of their property be increased, as present taxes were not adequate lor con - struction of sewage disposal m - nhties and other utilities. In this case, he, said, the an- swer to their request said that property in the entire county the must be re-evaluated when such I action is taken, and that such ef fort for the whole area would require three or four years. Sev eral instances were cited in Eu gene where the assessed valua- ' tion of complete homes remained as low as $41 the valuation de termined before the house was constructed on the lot. Highway Revenues Virgil Langtry, legal consultant for the league, discussed pro posed moves to legislate for dis tribution of highway commission revenues to cities. He stated that half of the cars aie owned by city residents and that at least half of the traffic begins in or centers around the city. The state highway commission has an accumulated balance of $17,000,000. he said. Suggested moves to turn 4 cents of the highway tax on aviation Angle Wrenches 4im. a. practical gitt for th mu who likes to tinker. 75c in. 7 lOia. 1.19 U. 98 13 ia. l.S RED RASCAL KIDDIES SCOOTER A brand new and DIFFERENT type- of scooter . . . designed and developed for beginners from 2 to 7 years.
