Budget Board
Puts Emphasis
On Salaries
(Story also on page 1)
City workers' salaries drew
major attention from the budget
committee which worked over
Salem's 1948-49 budget of some
$1,370,000 Wednesday night in Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce.
The 1S monthly raises put
into the budget compare with re
cent raise of about $10 monthly
to state and Marion county em
ployes. The budget committee struck
from City Manager J. L. Fran
zen's budget recommendation a
$14,292 item for widening Lib
erty street between Ferry and
Chemeketa streets, to finance the
pay raises.
Franzen had recommended only
$5 pay raises in most instances,
with the exception of $15 pay
raises for the 25 police patrolmen
and 40 city firemen. Officers of
both police and fire forces were
recommended for only $5 raises.
To Coot City $60.00
Franzen said the police and
firemen's request of raises up to
$275 plus $15 clothing allowance
would have cost the city $80,000
' which i out of the question at
this time." As approved by the
budget committee, and now pend
ing consideration by taxpayers
June 30. the police and firemen
will receive $250 monthly, as com
pared with last year's scale of
$230 plus a $5 uniform allowance.
Two city department heads are
due for higher raises which Fran
zen said are in line with com
parable positions in other cities.
The airport manager, Wallace
Hug. was upped from $3,600 to
$4,000 a year ago and Librarian
Hugh Morrow from $3,600 to
$3,960. These and a few other
salary raises slightly over the $15
mark were not changed in the
budget committee's alteration of
Franzen's budget.
Comparable Raises
Labor employed by the city was
not earmarked for specific hourly
rate increases comparable with
the $15 increase. Labor funds are
separate lump sums, and rate of
pay can be determined by the
citv council, it was explained.
Alderman Albeit H. Gille pre
sided over the budget committee
composed of the council members
and eight citizens. All were pres
ent except Alderman David
O'Hara who is ill in a local hos
pital. Water Truck
Sprinkles Road

A program of keeping McNary
field in good shape during the
Portland flood emergency was be
gun Wednesday.

A plane carrying drugs and
medicines, a gift of the Rexall

landed at the field Wednesday.
The drugs were hauled to Port
land !estmeo for Washi lg'.cn and
Idaho
Civil aeronautics uuthority of
ficials operating the M-rNary field
control lower said they received
two additional recei ing sets
Wednesday, bringing the total to
four. The officials said they are
slightly hampered becau-e only
ono transmitter has l.een trans
ferred from Portland but that they
expect additional equipment to
arrive todiiy.
The officials indicated that the
Salem birport may be used for
another month should dikes pro
tecting the Portland field allow
water to cover the landing strips.
Some reepage was reported Wed
nesday, they said, and the field
will remain out of service until
tho Columbia subsides.
