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.
And The Wedding
Will Be Saturday
OAKLAND, Cal., June 21. UP)
After Miss Margaret Davis, 22-year-old
former University of Oregon stu
dent, hsd once agreed to be married
to Frederick P. Sullivan, 26, and the
date was all set for this coming Sat
urday, she wasn't going to let any
obstacles stand In the way.
Miss Dsvla arrived at the marriage
license buresu yesterdsy only to be
told firmly her fiancee would have
to apply with her in person. She had
not expected to see him until he hnd
finished work for the day, and she
knew only he was timekeeper "on one
of the bridge projects." The marriage
license bureau closes at 5 and if it
went over another day, the wedding
bells couldn't ring until Monday, ac
cording to California law.
The bride-to-be announced she had
traveled 000 miles from her home in
Portland to be married to Sullivan
Saturday, and Saturday it would be. It
took nearly 4 hours of telephoning to
locate Sullivan, at work on the Oak
land-San Francisco Bay bridge pro
ject. He hastily dropped work and
hurried to the county clerk's offices,
arriving just a few minutes before
closing time.
The wedding will be Saturday.
