TAXPAYERS TO PASS BUDGET DECEMBER 28 The taxpayers' meeting to finally pass on the county budget has been called by the county court tor Sat urday, December 2, at 10 o'clock In the morning. It la considered probable that In addition to the county court being present an invi tation will go out to memtiers ox the budget committee who helped pass on the original tentative bud get. As far as is known the only ques tion of interest that will be raised is that pertaining to the request of the child health demonstration that funds allotted by the county for health work be raised from some thing over $6000 to $8000. While it is evident that a big demonstration Is being worked up for the health clinic and its demand for the ap proximately additional $2000, at the same time the sentiment is far from unanimous as the court is re ceiving personal visits and telephoue calls from many who compliment it on its stand. Councilman Purvine Friday tele phoned to the county court that he would not engage in any further comment on the matter and as far as he was concerned the situation could stand as it Is. County Commissioner Smith Fri day called attention to one fact that has been overlooked that the county court spends around $2000 on health work which does not show up in the budget. "We have our county physician, we pay hospital bills, we pay for operations done by various physi cians over the county in county cases and the amounts' mentioned aggregate to around $2000 taken from the county poor fund. It must be remembered that much of this work Is work recommended by doc tors and nurse of the health dem onstration. While the county spends tins $2000 in this work it gets no credit for It as a health measure.1 Christmas candies, fancy boxes, free dancing. Hill's, 12th and Les lie. 297 James M.

Wolf, principal of Salem high school, and his of fice force. Students attending the Salem secondary schools from dis tricts that do not support a high school or junior high school have their tuition paid by the district in which tney live, nut students that are attending local secondary scnoois when tiietr parents live in districts that support a high school are required to pay tuition. Wolf estimates that there are not more than 5 or 6 students in the high school of the latter class, he hav ing actual knowledge of but two cases In which students are rolled at the Salem high school from towns or district that have high schools. Tuition will be collected from Marlon county district for 276 students, and from Polk county dis trict for 76 students, these stu dents riding daily to the secondary schools on the bus system. In the Marion county group are 181 high school students and 95 junior high school students. In the Polk county group are 40 high school students and 3 junior nigh scnooi students. Districts sending such students must be billed some time during the first semester, so the work on , tabulating the students for whom tuition must be collected is being rushed.

GRIEVANCES ON ROAD GRAVELING TO BERIGHTED County Roadmaster Johnson and members of the county court who were in the Sllverton-Monltor and Gervals-Mt. Angel road sections Thursday to investigate reports of alleged discrimination In the mat ter of graveling private driveways off from market roads, stated on their return that any difficulty that may have arisen will ba cleaned up without ado. They stated In most cases along the 8llverton-Monltor road private property owners had gone ahead and bought their own Gravel and fixed their own driveways before the county had any chance to act in the matter. It takes quite awhile to finish up all the details on a market road, said the roadmaster. "The people along that road wiU be accorded the same treatment as along the Gervais-Mt. Angel road. Lester Van Cleave, road man up there, will go over the whole situation and look Into every case where farmers put gravel In to rpace their driveways torn out by the county road work. and adjustments made. "As far as laying of tile was con cerned the county lays tile under driveways for any who desire It, but the property owner must purchase his own tile. I think that in every case where a property owner wished tins done it was done. "Personally I know of no plan which could be outlined in dealing with property owners which would allow every property owner to be treated exactly like every other pro perty owner. There are so many diverse conditions arising on every road that we have to act according ly. But in every case we endeavor to be as Just as is possible."

FERN RIDGE ROAD LONG PART OF ROAD SYSTEM Rumors which have been spread ing around town the past few days to the effect that the county court ' had expended $30,000 on a road in the Fern Ridge country up near Mehama this summer and that the road only served a farm belonging to County Judge Siegmund and one other family, spread so fast they reached the county court Thursday, In fact from Inquiries made It i. certain they were based on a pro posed attack on the county court. County Judge Siegmund. Investi gation shows, owns no land In that section, although his aged father is a heavy property holder in the vi cinity. "In Justice to Judge Siegmund 1 wish it said that this road was dis cussed by myself and the late coun ty roadmaster, Mr. Culver, long be fore anyone ever knew that Judge Siegmund would be named as coun ty Judge," stated Hedda Swart, the present county engineer . and fof many years Mr. Culver's assistant. Both Mr. Culver and myself went over this road a number of times several years ago as a pros pective market road. The Fern Ridge road which starts out above Stayton and runs over past thla road we always knew would be a market road and this will be worked on more next summer. Some work was done on It this year. The road which Is now talked about and on which Judge Sieg mund 's father owns property. Is a connection between the Fern Ridge road and the Mehama pavement. It is an outlet to a vast section ot country up there. A survey wu made on that ahead of the other road and work was done on It ahead of the other road because the sur vey was finished and I didn't get time last winter to finish the sur vey on the other road.
