Newspaper Page TextTHE EU8ENB REGIS TER-GTTARD Jvn 21, Page Tont CITY'S FINANCES TOPIC FOR SPEECH BE Eocene It fortunate In that Us tHj council foresaw possible disaster and changed course, thui avoiding man of the difficuttle. that have befallen other cltlei, and escaping possible bankruptcy, R. 8. Bryaon, city recorder, told the Lions club luncheon meeting, Wednesday. He gave a general talk on municipal fi nances, giving general comments on Eusene'i finances. The depression hit municipal finances, just the eame as it dU private and corporate business, he said. Eugene's program of more eaten sire growth began about 1008 when .. aIi. had nonulatlon of about R.(XK and a general bond debt of $120,000, Mr. Bryson pointed out. This bond debt grew to ubout $083,000 by 1014 and remained comparatively at that amount until 1024. From 1024 until 1928, the debt Increased to $1, MS.OOO. Bv 1928 the population had mora than doubled, be said. Borne Mm nrevloua councils for an eiten live program through that period which In the light of subsequent events placed many burdens upon the taxpayers. However, to a very large aitent. the bonds issued In that per iod were authorised by direct vole of the people, and to a very great extent the improvement program was forced unon the governing body wno were Impressed with the view of property ownorB that these prosperous times would continue on and on, Mr. Bry ion snid. -On January 1. 1020, the city cow cil determined that. It was time to call a halt on bonds and Improvements and by common consent adopted a nrocrnm of economy and retrench' mcnt. This nrogram has as objectives: First, downward revision of the budget and reduced expenditures; secondly, development of sinking fund and better investment earnings; third ly, reduction of bonded debt; fourth, teductlon of warrant debt; fifth, low ering taxes. Quoting for the budget reduction Mr. Bryson showed that the 102S budget was $200,1)00 compared with the 1034 one for $141,000. Each year the budget has been reduced for total reduction of $182,000. Km year expenditures have been under the budget amounts to make a total saving in that period of $184,000. Thus the total net reduction haa been $340,000. This does not mesn that the city haa that money actually at band, but It doea mean that bad not these reductions been made the city would nave Been poorer by 1848,000, Mr. Jiryson pointed out. Whatever saving there Is between the tax collodion and the actual ex pendltnres. Is used to retire warrant debt, Mr. Bryson sold. Warrants were called previous to six months In ar rear. Today they are called up to April 1U or this year, Be added. The genera fund would have been out of debt at the close of 1BA2 had the taxes come In. And only a slight ly more favorable tax collection would bring this to pass, he added. There la danger of too close bud feting In plant depredation and all the thinga that go toward efficiency, Mr, Bryson declared. It Is danger' ns, he pointed out to lower the levy and leave It there because of the six per cent limitation ruling which pre vents any great increase when an Increase Is needed for a following year. . Mr. Bryson pointed put that more than half of the taxes levied go tor Interest and linking fund and special purposes outside the general operation of city government. The per capita cost In 1032 for po lice, fire, health, ssnltatlon, library. parks, comfort station, relief, milk Inspection, electrics), sewer and build ing Inspection, sslarles, and mainte nance of offices amounted to 4fl cents per capita per month less than Is psld for a service club luncheon or an amount equal to 1-14 of the month ly telephone rent In an office, Mr. Bryson pointed out. Lack of time prevented jar. nrysun fmm Hrnllne extensively with the Bancroft bond situation, but he added that he believed this would be cared for In some favorable manner. He re ferred again, too, to the city's policy of building up He sinking fund and keeping its Investments placed as fa vorably possible. fC M. Cslklni. city attorney and member of the club, gave high praise for the efficient way In wbicn Mr. Bryson is guiding the city's business.

Federal Laws on Gold Clause are Upheld by Judge ST. LOUIS. June 21. OP) Fed eral legislation abrogating the "gold clause" in about $100,000,000,000 of bonds payable In the United States, was upheld by Federal Judge Charloa B. Farrls in a decision today. Judge Faris ruled tbat all obliga tions containing the gold clause may be paid at face value in currency. The decision was given in a suit by the Bankers Trust company of Now York, trustee for a $34,548,000 Issue of Iron Mountain Railroad bonds, which contended congress had no right to declare payment in gold against public policy. l'ayment of tne iron jiouninin bonds In present currency of the equivalent of gold of the same stand ard nnd weight ns existed at the time the bonds were issued, would have in creased the amount due bondholders to about $58,500,000.
