Harris States
Campaign Issue
H. H. Harris, 2455 Trade street
said Friday that his candidacy
for the position of school direc
tor does not mean that he has
the backing of any particular
group, but merely that he is "def
initely Interested in education as
well as in the taxpayer who has
to foot the bill."
"I realize that the position is
something of a headache but I
also realize that the duties' of a
citizen carries with it responsi
bilities," Harris added. Being
self employed he said he would
have time to devote to the posi
tion. "I would approach the di
rectorate from the standpoint of
a practical business man."
Harris, as a machinist, was
employed by the Dougles county
court for a number of years. Dur
ing the war he had charge of the
vocational department of the Eu
gene schools and later was pro
duction manager and cost esti
mator for Multnomah Iron in
Portland.
Ascent Made Easy Ten miles of string for each of the
30 acres are needed for these thrifty green climbing beans
on the Roy Fitzwater farm north of Lebanan. Fitzwater
estimates that the 40 members of his present crew will
handle a total of 300 miles of string. He says that the yield
from his acreage will be well over the state-wide average,
(Lebanon Express Photo).
Lebanon Bean
Yield Is Heavy
i
Lebanon A typical grower1
of climbing green beans, a crop
which is annually gaining acre
age in Linn county, is Roy Fitz
water, whose farm north of Leb
anon contains 30 acres devoted
to this fast-growing vegetable. I
Fitzwater says that soils ofi
this vicinity produce an average!
of 10 tons per acre, compared to!
the state average of 5Vz to 6
tons.
A ready market is found fori
the crop, he said, and prices!
here are the same as for grow-!
ers closer to canneries, some of
which will set up receiving sta
tions here. i
String manufacturers should
be interested in this crop. Fitz
water estimates getting his
fields ready for the climbers re
quires 10 miles of string per
acre in all, 300 miles of string
on his 30 acres.
Fitzwater employed 40 men,
women and children in string
ing operations, and expects be
tween 300 and 400 pickers will
be required for harvesting,
which will begin the latter part
of July.

Espee Asks Permit
On Unlimited Speed
Woodburn The council will
consider the request of the
Southern Pacific railroad that
the city revoke the ordinance
through Woodburn to 45 miles
per hour. The change was ask
ed to facilitate the schedule of
the new streamline trains pro
posed between Portland and
San Francisco. Action will be
considered Tuesday night.
Should this action be taken
by the council the probable
speed of trains through Wood
burn would be 75 miles per hour
to permit the railroad com
pany to save three minutes of
time on their schedule.
Four ordinances have been
adopted by the Woodburn city
council providing for the im
provement of Sixth, Second,
Third and Fifth streets between
Harrison and the north city
limits. Bids for the work will
be called shortly.
$1129 less than the budget ap
proved for the lf)48-4f fiscal
year, and will be offset by
810 in anticipated revenues,
leaving $22,228 to be met by
direct, taxation. The proposed
budget to be voted upon by the
people xeceeds the 6 per cent
limitation by $3603.
Even though the proposed
budget provides for a $20
monthly salary increase for
seven city employes, the amount
to be raised by taxation will be
reduced from $36,047 for 1948-
49 to $22,228 for the fiscal year
1949-50.
This marked decrease in tax
ation is attributable to a $9000
cash balance, derived from the
sale of city land, pipe surplusses,
etc., and increased anticipated
revenue from the water depart
ment, utility fees, and state
funds.
All voting in the special elec
tion will be at City hall between
the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.,
standard time, or 9 a.m. to 9
p.m., daylight savings time, i
