OPPORTUNITY KOR REDUCTION
After a budget item has been pas.ed and is presently
supported by approval of a levy for the needed funds it is to
be taken for granted that the money so provided will be spent
for the pursue for which it was voted. It should be so spent,
but sometimes it isn't; sometimes it can't be.
Take for example the matter of the county health unit,
provided for in the county budget for 1941. The year is more
than three-fourths gone, but no county health unit has boen
formed; it is said that the type of man desired by the county
health association to head the unit has not been available on
account of war conditions. Whatever the reason, the money
remains unexpended; it will be used to retire general fund
warrants. For the first half of 1942, the county is again bud
geting for a county unit; if one is not set up the money will
again go to warrant retirement.
Another illustration may be found in school district and
city budgeting. The Bend school district has, in its full year
budget, an item of ?2.000 including funds for beginning con
struction expense on a playground building on Harmon field.
The city of Bend has, in its half year budget, an item of $1,000
including funds for beginning construction expense on a
playground building on Harmon field.
Now, after it is too late for the school district to do any
thing about it, there comes from Washington strong advice
against new construction elsewhere than in defense areas.
Bend is not in a defense area. It's the question of defense (or
war) use priorities.
As noted, there is little that the school district can do about
it. Its budget is passed, its levy voted. If the money can't be
used for building, about the only thing to be done with it
legally will be to leave it unspent and show it at the next
budgeting time as cash on hand available to diminish the dis
trict's necessary levy by that much. The school district has
no warrant debt on which the money could be applied.
The city, with its $1,000 item, finds its budget still in a
formative state. The taxpayers' meeting has not yet been
held, nor has the election at which voters must approve that
part of the levy in excess of the statutory six per cent limita
tion. There is still the opportunity to drop a listed expendi
ture and, if the expenditure cannot be made there is every
reason for dropping it. Respectfully we make the suggestion.
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS j
Just how it happened, no one seems to know, but when '
Deschutes county's court house was constructed there was
built into it an Aeolian harp of unusual volume and resonance !
although, perhaps, lacking somewhat in the finer harmonics.
When the wind is m the right quarter, the harp begins to
sound, its tones rising and falling, sometimes nearing a shriek, :
sometimes descending to a more dignified howl. Always it is
impressive, although county officials, especially those working
in the front of the building, will tell you that it is also disturb
ing. Some of them even call it noisy. A brisk breeze will set
the harp going at a rate that would indicate that a gale at least
is blowing outside.
Apparently the county's Aeolian harp is a surplus value.
No provision for it was made in the specifications for the
building and certainly no extra charge for it was itemized in
the contractor's bill. But there it is. County Judge Allen has
a theory that the concrete ledge at the edge of the balcony in !
front of the jail cells on the top floor level may be the harp. !
Certain it is that the type of construction of the general build-!
ing lends itself to the transmission and even amplification of
sound. Technicians would say that it is very "live.','
Some day the administrators of the building may find .
means to mute their harp, but there is no hxed idea at the mo
ment as to just how this is to be done. In the mean time it
continues to play, controlled only by the vagaries of the wind.
