Capt. Townsend
Sees Margaret
For Third Time
LONDON J Group Capt. Peter
Townsend Tuesday night paid his
second visit to Princess Margaret
in less than a week.
It was the third time he has
visited her in London since he
returned in March from a world
tour undertaken after she formally
'dissolved their romance in October
1955.
The visits have been at her
stately mansion, Clarence House,
near Buckingham Palace.
Last Thursday Townsend, 43-year-old
World War II Royal Air
Force hero, had tea with Marga
ret. A Buckingham Palace an
nouncement at that time, said:
"The visit was strictly private.
We have no specific information
bout the visit."
Tuesday night's visit also was
described as strictly private.
Townsend arrived shortly after
the 27-year-old Princess returned
from presiding at the annual
meeting of the Student Nurses
Assn.
Sublimity Girl
On Bicycle
Hit by Car
Itttcimu News Service
SUBLIMITY A nine-year-old
Sublimity girl was injured here
Tuesday when struck by a car
while riding a bicycle.
Taken to Santiam Memorial Hos
pital in Stayton was Ann Hottinger,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Hottinger. Doctors said she re
ceived a fractured left leg, severe
lea cuts and bruises of the face.
They said her condition was fairly
food late Tuesday night.
Police said the driver of the car
was Mamie E. Phillips, 66, of Tur
ner.
The accident happened about
1:30 p.m. at an intersection just
east of the city limits. No citation
was issued, officers said.
Crews Hold
Forest Fire
NORTH BEND, Wash. I - A
reduced crew of fighters held a
fire in Snoqualmie National Forest
within its old boundaries Tuesday
and hoped there would be no shift
in wind.
The fire, which has burned over
an area of about 800 acres in a
3,000 acre area, probably can be
contained by the 530 men now on
the line, forest service officials
aid.
At one time Monday, 900 men
were deployed against the rapidly
spreading blaze. Completion of
fire trails and dropping off of the
winds permitted a reduction of
force.
Most feared is a shift of the wind
to the east. This could drive the
blaze into new timber. Most of the
burned over area is second growth
or old snag land but some first
growth stands have been dam
aged. Shrimp have a life span of one
year unless they end up in a
shrimp cocktail earlier.
Congregational Conference
Elects New Superintendent
EUGENE UK Dr. Adelbert J.
Buttrey of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
was elected minister and superin
tendent of the Congregational Con
ference of Oregon Tuesday. His
acceptance was announced shortly
after the vote.
Dr. Buttrey is pastor of the
1,500-member Park Congregation
al Church in Grand Rapids. He
will succeed Dr. Paul A. Davies,
who retires Jan. 1 after serving
15 years.
Election was at the annual meet
ing of the conference, attended by
delegates from 50 Congregational
churches in Oregon. Dr. Buttrey
had been recommended by the
conference Board of Directors aft
er a committee study of six
months.
The new superintendent will
come to Oregon Nov. 1, spending
two months at conference head
quarters in Portland with Dr. pa
vies before the latter retires.
Dr. Buttrey went to the Grand
Rapids church six years ago and
before that had pastorates at Park
Ridge, N. J., and Montclair, N.J.
, He has been on the executive
committee of the Board of Home
Missions of Congregational Chris
tian Churches and was chairman
of its committee on building new
churches.
A native of Idaho, he is a grad
uate of Stanford University and of
Union Theological Seminary in
New York City.
As the annual meeting continued
Tuesday, delegates elected John
Schnell of Portland president of
iuled for this morning befora the
proposed $4,390,000 budget is re
turned to the full committee. Few
changes have been suggested by
subcommittees.
Alderman E. C. Charlton's rev
enue subcommittee found estlmat-
ed income for the year starting
July 1 down $672,227 from esti
mates for the current year.
Almost all of the decrease, how
ever, is in bond funds and special
assessments, items which go up
or down depending on the amount
of work to be financed by them
Departments Breakdown
Of the total, 11,850,000 is water
department revenue, $2,538,750 in
other departments. Water depart
ment money, is kept separately.
Taxes will bring in $1,210,000 of
the general fund money. Other
large income producers are state
money, $376,000, and sewers, $292,
161.
Tax estimates are up $71,588
over those made for the current
year. State money is down $6,665.
Sewer income estimates are down
$24,900, but this is all in a reduced
program of special assessment
construction.
State Revenue Down
In revenue from state taxes, es
timates for the city's share of the
gasoline tax are down $13,665 from
the current year, while the liquor
tax is expected to bring in $7,000
more than this year.
City Treasurer Howard D. Brand-
void said that the decrease in gas
tax represents an apparent de
crease in gasoline sales, while the
increase in anticipated liquor tax
represents a recent increase in
the cities' share ot tax.
Other large increases are $32,122
ir- general tax allowed by the 6-per-cent
limitation, $23,416 in fire
tax authorized by the voters last
week, and a $15,000 grant expect
ed from the federal government
for this year's work on construc
tion of a Croisan Creek sewer.
New Sources of Revenue
The Croisan Creek project south
of Salem is expected to cost $170,
000 over a period of years and the
federal government is to contrib
ute 30 per cent of the cost.
New sources of revenue not
budgeted last year include heating
code licenses, $2,000 estimated; a
charge for police record searches,
$900; a new city employe parking
lot. $500.
Building permit fees are falling
about $5,700 below the $17,700 es
timated for this fiscal year, so the
estimate for the new year is low
ered to $11,000. City Mgr. Kent
Mathewson said that construction
ir continuing outside the city but
few sites are available inside the
city except for fee-free state
building.
On the other hand, fines and
bail forfeitures are running about
$9,700 higher than estimated. This
trend has been evident for two
years, Mathewson said, so the es
timate for next year was raised
$11,450 to $120,000.
Subcommittee members present
besides Charlton were Alderman
E. S. Ritter and Arthur M. Erick-
son.
Use of High Speed

bers at the Hotel Senator, will be
submitted to city councils in the

Baker Election
Ruled Invalid
BAKER, Ore. W The ques
tion of maintaining the present
city manager form of government
will be placed before voters here
again, because last Friday's city
election was found invalid.
At a meeting Monday night, the
City Council said the vote, which
was against the present system,
cannot count because legal notices
of the election were not published
prior to the balloting.
A study of the present city char
ter revealed that such notices are
required.
City Atty. Bard Johnson said
the charter also requires that pro
posed changes in the city govern
ment be printed so voters can
study them before going to the
polls. This was not done, either,
the council said.
A new vote on the question will
be held within six weeks, Johnson
said.
The proposed mayor-commissioner
system received 1,656
votes in the election, while 1,461
favored retaining city manager
plan.
