(Continued from page 1)
expense of the reorganization, it Is
announced by Dr. Warner.
The budget estimates, yet to be
approved by the county health
unit committee and finally acted
upon by the county court, the
city budget committee and the
Salem school board, include nine
items totaling $7400 to be contri
buted by the Commonwealth Fund.
The total cost of tne set-up to
the taxpayers under the tentative
estimates would thus be $34,200,
divided as follows:
Marlon county
City of Salem
Ralem Schnlo district

the maximum set-up, and no esti
mates are announced for the alter
native and less expensive organiza
tion which officials of the demon
stration Intimated several months

pared It must be by the health unit
committee or the tax levying bodies
that must appropriate the money,
while the proposed 1930 budget
is $350 less than the expenses for
1929 It involves a considerabla In
crease In the amounts to be appro
priated by the various taxing units,

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

tne Oregon league, a survey has
been made of the Willamette river,
with a financial survey of the cities
under way. This information must

ascertain needs and wmilromam.
