Schools Seeking
New Buildings
' By Erie W. 'Alien, Jr.
(Unltnl Prau SUM Correspondent)
Salem.'Ore., Feb. 3 dpi Two Im
portant pieces of legislation were
before the Oregon legislature to
day one to increase the amount
slated for the construction of
buildings for the state system of
higher education by approximate
ly $1,237,000, and the other to set
up a new system of legal govern
ment budget laws.
The first, the opening move in a
10-year-building program of con
struction, would provide for a new
hospital for the University of Ore
gon medical school, and new class
rooms and laboratories for other
units of the system.
Sen. Rex Ellis, Pendleton, Sen.
Earl T. Newbry, Ashland, and
Rep. E. L. Lieuallen, Pendleton,
sponsored the bill. Money for con
; struction would be taken from the
$5,000,000 property tax reduction
fund.
Changes Provided
The other bill, introduced by
speaker of the house Eugene
Marsh, repeals all existing laws
concerning the budgeting of coun
ties, cities and school districts, and
sets up a new code, embodying
some features of the old but with
many changes and new provisions.
New features of the proposed
measure provide for the establish
ment of a local budget officer, the
creation of cash reserve funds for
separate accounts of each local
fund, up to 25 per cent; permis
sion for the creation of emergency
accounts; the budgeting or public
approyal of sinking funds; requir
ing municipal corporations to
come under the budgeting provi
sion's; the clarification of trans
fers and loans between funds and
accounts, and providing for penal
ties, which now are included in
another section of the code.
Personal property owners, as
distinct from real property own
ers, may become members of the
budget committee under the pro
posed bill.
