SCHUEBEL TELLS OF MUNICIPAL ILLS IN OREGON Municipal ailments and their cure were brought before the chamber of commerce Monday by Chris fichue- bel, of Oregon City, president of the League of Oregon Cities, after as serting that Oregonlana art too selfsatlsfied and city officials dead on their feet. Factional differences, which have arisen chiefly because of geographical location, have re tarded progress in the state hj Slid Cities in Oregon have long beep made the butt of legislation "not to apply to cities of 100,000 population or over" and until the cities, through organization and cooperation, band to demand their rights, such will continue, Schuebel declared. Buch cooperation will Inspire a state spirit. "Salem lacks good common sense when it comes to Its water supply. the speaker said. "If the cities would zct together they could demand legislation appropriating water be subject to the rights of municipali ties lor the protection of future generations." he said. Touching upon the Oregon tax system the speaker said It made perjurers of its county assessors while the high mlllage rate of 64 often tends to alarm prospective In vestors and a mlllage of 16 to 20 would be sufficient and raise equal amount of revenue It the as sessment values were raised accord ingly. . Legislation permitting cities to look toward the future by the ac quisition of sinking funds for pro jects such as incinerators and sew age disposal plants is needed, Schue- oei said, city officials now pay twice what a project is worth whereas a sinking fund would per mit them to pay as they go. There are too many city officials with the attitude of "to hell with the city" as well as many county judges, the speaker said. Schuebel will launch a movement this week looking towards a correction in the gas tax distribution to counties to include cities. In California, Schue bel said, the league of munlclnall- ties took the position that the gas tax, adopted for the development of highways, included highways from end to end and not from city limit to city limit, and that the cities were entitled to some oortlon for mat section or the highway through Its limits, either for first construc tion or maintenance. Schuebel advocated whole-hearted participation in a league of muni cipalities, pointing out that 600 men representing the various com munities of the state, gathered to gether at least once a year, can ac complish much of bprhprtr. iA tha cities wnicn as Individual units coma receive out little If any sup port to any undertaking they might attempt. Through the efforts 'of tne Oregon league, a survey has been made of the Willamette river, with a financial survey of the cities under way. This information must ue oiuuiea in connection with pro posed sewage disposal plants to ascertain needs and wmilromam. and the amount that must be ex pended for each 1000 population. INJURED YOUTH BACK IN SCHOOL Hiram Amick. the 11 vear old rourth grader at Grant school whose collar bone was broken In a skirmish on the school grounds last Thursday, returned to school Monday morning with his arm In cast and well swathed In ban dages. The accident caused much discussion between the Amick fam ily and school officials as the boy was not excused until the entire school was dismissed although he was hurt during a recess period In tne aiternoon. Mrs. W. E. Amick, the boy's moth er, came to the school the follow ing morning Incensed because ol the accident and because the teach er had kept the boy In the class room. Mrs. Amick told Prtnelnal Miller that the hoy had asked to be excused but that the teacher re- Ilised to let him go. Mrs. Irene Castle, the teacher, says that the boy did not ask to be excused and tnat she had no way of knowing that he was Injured. - According to Principal Miller. Mrs. Ainlck said at that time that she felt that the teacher should pay the doctor's bills. Mrs. Amick now denies that she made any threats to Mr. Miller or the teacher. 43 YEARS AGO SALEM STORE LIGHTED It was 43 years ago that T. McF.
