By the Associated Press
Labor got new promises of sup
port from the Truman adminis
tration Tuesday and some ammun
ition for possible fourth round pay
boost demands.
Meanwhile, the seven day strike
of 65,000 east coast AFL dock
workers bit deeper into the area's
commercial life, with shipping
NEW YORK, Nov. l6-(JFThe
National Foremen's Institute, a
business research organization,
said today it agreed with Secre
tary of Labor Tobin that a
fourth round of wares increases
Is probable.
The Institute predicted the
fourth round would range be
tween seven and 10 cents an
hour.
paralyzed in ports from Maine to
Virginia, some 1,000 railroad
workers and 2,000 truck drivers
were laid off. The strike also
threatened to shut down some New
England woolen mills if it contin
ues more than a month.
A hint that wage increases may
be -inevitable" for 18,000,000
workers came from Secretary of
Labor Tobin. Attending a conven
tion of the American Federation
of Labor in Cincinnati, Tobin said
that many workers are nine per
cent behind the cost of living in
earn iags as reported by the bureau
of labor statistics.
"In certain fields, the workers
have not yet received a third
round," Tobin said at a news con
ference. President Truman messaged the
AFL convention that he would en
large the labor department and
support a program of legislation
"for the benefit of all the people."
John R. Steelman. special as
sistant to President Truman, told
the convention that the chief ex
ecutive intends to carry out his
campaign promises. The part la
bor is called upon to play, Steel-
man said, is "indispensible in the
struggle to preserve and extend
our liberties."
School Girls
Ask Action on
Sewage Plant
Senior girl health students of
Salem high school Tuesday called
for immediate action to hurry con
struction of a city sewage disposal
plant, pointing out that Salem's
polluted streams give off an odor
unlike that of perfume.
Conditions resulting from the
lack of a disposal plant were out
lined in a letter to The Statesman,
signed by 98 class members.
The letter reads:
"While studying community
health problems, it has come to
our attention that the sewage dis
posal system in Salem is highly
inadequate.
We understand that the sewage
is emptied directly into streams in
and around Salem. These disease
ridden streams axe a detriment to
the community in the following
ways:
1. Mosquitos and flies which
carry disease thrive in polluted
streams.
2. In spite of restrictions, the
kids swim in these streams.
I. In the summer months the
odor given off by these streams is
not exactly that of Chanel No. 5.
We realize that plans have been
drawn up for a modern sewage
disposal plant, but funds are not
sufficient to begin construction.
Are ' you, as good citizens, going
to sit around and let this endanger
your and your families' health?
WE NEED COMMUNITY BACK
ING! ! ! "
(A long-range program for con
struction of interceptor sewers and
a sewage disposal plant in Salem
has already been launched. Finan
ced by sewer rental funds, the in
terceptor system is being installed,
and the plant will be built later in
the program).

Property Tax Load Jumps 25
School
Tax Hike
Highest
Oregon property taxes are an
average 25 per cent higher this
year than last, a statistical study
of the state tax commission show
ed Tuesday.
Bulk of the statewide tax rise
fell in the school district tax
category where a 47 per cent
average gain was noted over
1947-48 in the report.
The overall property tax total
shown on the tax rolls of Ore
gon's 36 counties is $77,738,623
this year, as compared with $62,
181,683 a year ago. Included is
the school tax total of $43,455,557
as against $29,428,526 a year ago.
Of the approximate $15,000,000
tax increase, $14,000,000 is ac
counted tor by school taxes.
Marion Taxes Rise
Marion county's $3,938,070 tax
roll is 32 per cent over the prop
erty tax levied last year. Mar
ion's school taxes included within
this total, also showing a gain
higher than the state increase,
are 71 per cent over last year's
school taxes of $1,274,161.
Only a part of the big increase
in the property taxes is accounted
for by higher assessed valuation
on property this year, as the state
tax commission had reported
earlier that the assessed valuation
increased by a little over 10 per
cent this year from $1,057,000,
000 to $1,187,000,000. 1
Assessments levied in addition
to the property tax brought the
state tax roll up to $79,179,453.
compared with $63,755,762 for the
1947-48 year.
