Idaho Accidents
Overcrowding in Eucene eram-
mar schools is at a minimum this
year, despite a slight increase in
enrollment, according to Dr. J. F.
Cramer, city school superintend
ent. The superintendent said the new
districting plan had allieviated
overcrowding in almost all cases.
An influx of students into White
aker, due to many new residents
in the surrounding area near the
industrial sector, has been cor
rected by the transfer of 24 stu
dents from that school to Lincoln.
Three students have also' been
transferred to Francis Willard
from Lincoln. ' ..
Other minor adjustments may
be. expected during the year, to
keep classes below or near an
'average of 35,. Dr. Cramer added.
At week's end, enrollment In
city schools' climbed to 3,776, after
an opening day registration of
3,675. The schools picked up 50
more , junior and high, school stu'
dents and 51 additional grammar
school scholars. . :
The late enrollees boosted Eu
gene high school registration to
0,23. -
Indications of a continued
growth in the number of Eugene

is court action to condemn' three

Another factor in possible post

For Half of '42
Road Bond Redemption
Fund, Insurance Due
In First Six Months j
Lane county's tax levy for the
first half ot 1942 will have to be
increased to some extent ever the
1941 levy because-of the new law
changing '.the . beginning of the
fiscal year from. January. I to July
1, County Judge -Clinton Hurd
said Saturday in discussing the
budget now being made up by the
committee of which the judge is
chairman.
, There are several reasons why
an increase will be necessary, the
judge pointed out.
1. The road bond redemption
fund becomes due in the first half
of the year.
2. The fees for county insurance
are payable before July 1. ' ' :
3. Much of the state road money
is not turned over to the county
until the. latter half of the year.. '
The levy will have to be Suf
ficient to meet the iwp payments
mentioned and to meet the cost
of road improvements and re
pairs until the taxes for that pur
pose comes ini'
Good . Headway Reported
Good headway was made on. the
first consideration of the different
items in the budget, at the session
of the committee Friday afternoon,
wuite a number of items were
tentatively approved ; and final
adoption will probably take place
during the next two meetings. The
first meeting this week will be
held Tuesday forenoon and Judge
Hurd predicted that the committee
will perhaps finish Its work In one
or two additional sessions. .
The only salary increase acted
upon so far by the committee is
that of the county soldiers' indi
gent fund administrator, or vet
erans' service officer, Mike Moria
rity. His salary will be raised from
$50 to $100 a month; due. it Is ex
Slained, to the heavy increase 'In
le work of his office.-.The ttotal
budget for this. deDartmenivtll
be S3700 for the year, ati'lncreasfe
of $600. Other salary raises will
be acted upon at subsequent meet
ings. . V
Election Fund Approved - '
The electiion fund of $10,000 was
given approval Friday afternoon.
This is a large increase over that
of the past year for the reason that
a general: election Is to- be held
in 1942. 'f '. V
The emergency fund of $6000 for
the half year was approved and
the fire patrol item of-$3500 for
the year was OK'd. The fruit in
spector was given $1750 for the
half year.
The, health department's budget
was placed, at $6481.86 for the six
months period. In the first si
months of 1941, $4846.38 was ex
pended. The department asked for
$8171.96, but the committee voted
to split the difference. . 1-
The home demonstration agent's
budget was left at $625 for. the
half year, which is the same as in
1941, and the justice court budget
for half a year was nlaced at Si 000.
which' is lower than last years. The
juvenile adviser's office gets an
advance of from $936.94, expended
in the : first six months of 1941,
to $1056 for the first half . of 1942,
The county museum budget was
placed at $4500 but as the income
from ; rentals completely covers
this item,- there will be no levy
