Council Studies Occupational Tax
As Source of Revenues in Salem
An occupational tax, to which the city of Salem may have
to resort to get money enough on which to operate during
the next fiscal year, was broached to the city council Wednes
day night by City Manager J. L..-
Franzen. and Mayor Robert L,
Elfstrom appointed the entire
council as a special committee
to investigate, and determine
whether the tax is necessary and
feasible. Alderman Dan J. Fry
will serve as chairman of the
committee.
When Franzen mentioned the
occupational tax as a possible
revenue source Alderman David
O'Hara wanted to know if suf
ficient study had been given the
subject to be sure it was neces
sary. He said parking meters
would provide enough revenue
to finance the police department.
Franzen said gome study had
been given the matter, and con
sidering salary increases and
other increased expenses he
doubted if revenue sources
would be sufficient under the
6 limitation without resorting
to an occupational tax. He had
asked city departments for esti
mates of their needs, he said
and he would have more defi
nite ideas when the estimates
are received. O'Hara was of the
opinion that the special study
should be a function of the
manager, but did not insist to
the extent of opposing appoint
ment of the council as a com
mittee.
Each member of the council
was furnished with a lengthy
bulletin from the League of
Oregon Cities showing license
fees and occupational taxes lm
posed on businesses, professions
and amusements in 97 Orgon
cities.
The city budget committee,
by reduction of the size of the
council under the new form of
government and the automatic
reduction in non-council mem
bers, will be cut from 30 to 16
members, or one non-council
member for each alderman and
the mayor.
Camp White Issue
May Go on Ballot
Portland, April 17 W) Initia
tive petitions to direct the state
board of control to take over
Camp White as a state institu
tion will be circulated, sen
Lew Wallace said today.
Governor Snell vetoed a bill
which would have made the
surplus Medford installation a
state hospital.
Wallace said he hoped to be
able to induce the federal gov
ernment to leave the camp's sta
tus unchanged until the people
vote which would be at ' the
May 1948 primary if enough sig
natures were obtained on the
petitions.
Lumber Production
Hi.s All-Time High
Portland, Ore., April 17 U.R)
March lumber production in
Ihe west coast Douglas fir re
gion continued at a high level,
breaking all records of the last
24 months, according to H. V.
Simpson, executive vice presi
dent of the West Coast Lumber
men's association.
Weekly output averaged 137,
976,000 board feet during
March. This record production
from west coast sawmills ex
ceeds February output of 132,
183,000 board feet, Simpson
said, and climaxes a steady in
crease each month since the re
laxation of government controls
last year.
Shipments during March aver
aged 131,346,000 board feet
weekly, Simpson said. "Lum
ber is getting into the channels
of trade. Consumers today are
able to buy quality Douglas fir
lumber at almost every retail
yard in our. traditional mar
kets."
