Commission officials should
show less reluctance to con
sider the "practical realities"
of spending government
funds.
In a $5,795,048,921 bill to fi
nance six agencies during the
year starting July 1, the commit
tee recommended:
1. Atomic Energy Commission:
$501,850,000 in cash a cut of
$48,150,000 from what President
Truman asked but $326,850,000
more than was appropriated this
year plus $400,000,00 in contract
authority, the amount the Presi
dent asked. The actual money to
pay for contracts let under the
additional authority will be voted
next year or later.
t. Veterans Administration: $5,-

$354,600,000 plus $43,000,000

The total is $649,850,000 less than
the VA had available this year.
8. Maritime Commission: $10Z,

authorization, $14,858,000 more

4. Qffice of Housing Expediter:
$15,173,100 A cut of $5,327,900.
5. Office of Defense Transpor
tation: $340,00 A cut of $105,000,
The ODT goes out of existence
next February 28 unless congress
continues it. .
6. War Assets Administration:
$50,000,000 A cut of $56,912,000.
The committee recommended that
the WAA be abolished August 31,
and that the budget bureau super
vise the $50,000,000 and look after
the distribution of records and
property now belonging to the
WAA.
The $4,225,000,000 in WAA in
ventories war surpluses not yet
disposed of would be turned over
to other agencies this way: To the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, $2,685,000,000 in real proper
ty; to the Air Force, $873,000000
in aircraft and parts; to the bu
reau of federal supply $667,000,000
in miscellaneous personal proper
ty.
It boosted to an estimated total
of $33,500,000,000 the amount rec
ommended by the committee this
year on the basis of presidential
money requests of approximately
$35,500,000,000. Some of the House
made cuts already have been re
stored by the Senate, but few of
the 19 money bills sent to the
House floor since January have
reached the President.
The committee scorched the
Atomic Energy Commission for
Its "refusal to furnish information
and appraisals of its various bud
geted items."
There is much to - be desired,
the committee said, "in establish
lishing the confidence which the
committee must have if it is to
continue to supply these large
grants of funds under conditions
of secrecy."

Altogether, the property taxes
to be levied in Eugene, if the bud

mittee of councilmen and taxpay

a dollars-and-cents total of
$397,297.71.
The total could not be so large
except that Eugene voters have
passed specific tax propositions
accounting for $268,637 of this
year's aggregate levy. These funds,
"outside the 6 per cent tax limita
tion," will be used as authorized
by the voters for the following
purposes:
Municipal playgrounds ..$49,048

For some of the purposes listed
above the voters have authorized
tax levies greater than the budget

necessary to assess. This is true

Fire Department
Until the new fire substations
are completed, the budget commit
tee decided, only five additional
firemen will be added to the
force.
Consequently, although the vot
ers authorized an annual two-mill
levy for this expense (about $35,
000 on the basis of current as
sessed valuation figures), theljud
geters decided to collect only the
$14,700 needed for five men this
year.
None of these specific funds
n be touched for any purpose
other than as particularly approv
ed by the voters. For instance,
the $20,300 not budgeted from
the special authorization for new
fire department salaries cannot be
used to give the present firemen
wage raises. Thus are the work
ings of levies "outside" the 6 per
cent limitation."
Inside the 8 per cent regular
tion a provision of the state
constitution no taxing body can
increase its levy above the high
est levy of the . preceding three
years, plus 6 per cent. This means
that any increase greater than 6
per cent must be authorized by
the voters.
The amount Eugene can levy
within the 6 per cent restriction
this year will cover only 15 per
cent of the total municipal bud.
get. The funds provided for out
side the limitation will represent
30 per cent of the money going
to support the city government.
