Of Blood Bank
Dedication of the Portland blood

Kay, to be on hand for the pro
gram. Marion county is one of 11 Ore

thousands of people within a 100
mile radius of Portland will share
in the results.
On March 8 the mobile unit for

A meeting in preparation for the
first visitation will be Friday noon

Marion hotel.
Dr. Ross T. Mclntire, national

Salem Taxes
Top Average,
Survey Shows
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-(Special)
-Property owners in Salem have
higher taxes to pay for 1948 than
do those in most other cities in the
United States, according to a sur
vey of 333 cities released by the
National Municipal league here.
The 'adjusted" tax rate in Sa
lem comes to $3019 per $1,000
worth of property, comparing
with the average for all the cities
of $29.57, and with the rate of
$28.90 found in other cities of its
size group, 30,000 to 50,000 pop
ulation. The figures are adjusted ones,
corrected from the nominal rates
to enable comparison among cit
ies. This was necessary since many
cities use less than the actual val
ue of property as the legal basis
of assessment. Salem uses 41 per
cent of true value. Its actual rajtt
is $73.50.
The total assessed value of prop
erty in Salem is set at $22,352,447,
equivalent to $725 per capita.
The survey discloses that ad
justed tax rates have risen 6 per
cent since 1947, reflecting the in
creased costs of municipal gov
ernment. The year before that the
tax rise was 15.7 per cent.
The conservative increase at the
present time seems to indicate, ac
cording to the report, "that muni
cipalities are following a prudent
course in not gearing their assess
ments, as well as their financial
structures, to inflationary proper
ty values."

here Monday against Thomas Bro

by a logger who charges he was
injured while working for the.
company in the woods April 17.
1947.
Lyle A. Walthrop charges in
his complaint that he was struck
by a tree while working for the
company. He contends the compa
ny validated the employers' lia
bility act by failing to undercut
and properly control the fall of
the tree, and by failure to pro
vide property safety precautions.
Walthrop alleges he suffered
injuries to his back and leg. The
complaint was filed in Marion
