No Bids Received The coun
ty court failed to receive any
bids for boarding prisoners in
the county jail when the time
for them came around Friday
and an order will be entered
directing the sheriff to continue
to act as caterer. The law re
quires that such bids be adver
tised for a practice the court
continues year after year with
no takers.
Asks Compromise Joseph M.
Devers, Jr., acting for the Fash
ion Lounge and Madeline W.
Dyer, its owner, has asked the
county court for a compromise
settlement on taxes against per
sonal property in the place
which has discontinued business,
ljj stated, and disposed of its
assets, rne records show a judg
ment lien of $1191.48 with total
taxes, including the lien, of
about $1980. He asks a compro
mise settlement of $1600. His
reason is that the assessments
subsequent to the lien are ques
tioned and the compromise is
suggested to avoid litigation, the
law allowing a compromise in
case of threatened or instituted
litigation. He raised the ques
tion that the personal property
In question was assessed on the
basis of the retail price rather
than the purchase price. The
matter has been referred to the
district attorney.
Finances Shown Lawrence
McCracken, secretary-treasurer
of the Scotts Mills rural fire
protection district, has filed a
financial statement with the
county court for the past year
showing receipts of $1450.31,
expenditures, $1193.09 and bal
ance $257.22. The district has
purchased a fire truck on a five
year basis to pay. Several calls
were responded to by the ap
paratus during the year, he said.
May Build Road--The county
court has granted authority to
DeSantis & Fantz, loggers, to
reconstruct county road 957 to
put it in shape for hauling logs
over it. The, road leaves the Sil
ver Falls highway at the old
CCC camp site, now a service
station site, and they wish to
Improve it for 2V4 miles to join
onto the old CCC road which
goes back into their holdings in
the mountains. Tradition says
that the road was used 50 or 60
years ago but has grown up into
brush and about all that is left
In the shape of a road is the
right of way. .
Want More Site A survey of
the county court's gravel plant
site a mile south of Aumsville
has been filed with the court
by County Surveyor Dale Gra
ham showing some hoped for
changes in the site. The plant
now has 43 acres about eight
acres of which has been dug
over. It is covered with gravel
and this has been taken out to
a depth of 2S feet in places with
the bottom not touched. A rec
tangular piece of five acres is
attached to the site at the south
east corner. The court hopes to
sell this off, it being partly
swamp and partly tillable. It
then wishes to purchase an ad
ditional 10 acres extending
along the west side of the trac
which is owned by the same
party from which the court
bought the 43 acre tract. This
will furnish additional stockpile
and gravel.
$150 Fine for Evans Albert
J. Evans, 1360 N. Cottage, was
fined $150 in police court Fri
day on a charge of reckless driv
' ing, liquor involved. His arrest
on the charge Was made Thurs
day night after numerous Holly
wood residents sought police
aid. A police report of the arrest
detailed how Evans' car had
forced an auto driven by a po
liceman to the curb as well as
the vehicle of another autoist.
At one stage of the circumstan
ces which brought Evans' ar
rest, he was accused of causing
a mother, pushing a baby car
riage, to jump to the curbing to
avoid being hit.
Repeater Jess Clair Carr,
515 S. 21st street, was fined $25
in police court Friday morning
an a charge of reckless driving,
and within minutes, he was back
again to add $10 on another
driving charge. The arrest for
reckless driving occurred Thurs
day night. After making his ap
pearance in court Friday morn
ing, he left, but was nailed by
n officer who charged him with
xcessive speed through an in
tersection. The fine on the sec
and charge was $10.

Tarem Family
In New Home
Extremely tired but excited
over the prospect of starting
life anew, the Tarem family of
father and mother and three
daughters reached Salem shortly
before noon Friday after being
on the road from Europe since
May 10. A stop-over on the At
lantic coast" broke the long jour
ney. . The Tarem residence on Lan
sing avenue had been prepared
for the family by Salem women
who decorated the modest dwell
ing with flowers, prepared the
noon meal and planned to serve
dinner this evening. Then the
family of Estonians who spent
many weary months in a dis
placed persons camp in Ger
many will be permitted to get
acquainted with their new sur
roundings. The 'larems crossed the con
tinent in railroad coaches, sitt
ing up the entire distance. The
experience of the journey across
the United States was one of the
highlights of the trip and dur
ing the motor ride from Portland
to Salem the party exclaimed
over the well kept homes, the
thousands of automobiles and
the prosperous condition of the
country. They could scarcely
comprehend the comparative
luxury in which the American
people live.
The father, educated in this
country and in Europe as a di
rector of physical education, will
be employed by the Salem
YMCA and Willamette univer
sity. He speaks excellent Eng
lish as does his wife, Leonore.
Gus Moore, who with Charles
Barkley, drove the cars that
brought the family to Salem,
predicts that Tarem will be in
much demand as a public speak
er. The three attractive daugh
ters are named Anne, Eevi and
Astrid.
Creek Again
Flowing Clear Wafer
Water in Mill creek that has
been extremely roily for the
past week is expected to clear
up within the next 24 hours, ac
cording to Oregon Pulp & Paper
company officials who have been
engaged in clearing the banks
and dredging the stream in the
Aumsville section. This action
was taken to permit the flow
of water to full capacity. The
paper company utilizes the wa
ter for the production of power.
While the stream improve
ment work was under way much
of the water had been turned
out of the stream. At the state
prison where work of building
a new wall is in progress, work
men took advantage of the low
water stage to carry on excava
tion for construction of a road
way. A full head of water was turn
ed into Mill creek late Thursday
but it is expected several hours
will elapse before the milky con
dition clears.
Holtzman Turns
Time Payments
Dave Holtzman, operator of
a dress shop in Salem, told
members of the Salem Credit
association Friday that business
was turning to time payment
systems to meet declines in
trade.
. "People still have cash,"
Holtzman asserted, "but they
have lost confidence in our coun
try because of falling prices. The
result of that is that merchants
ire turning to charge business
in an effort to revive sales."
Holtzman urged the credit
representatives to take clerk:
into their confidence, explain
charge systems and terms. Hp
pointed out that the most suc
cessful clerks were those who
-lid the sreatest volume of credit
business.
As for customers, Holtzman
warned the association to re
member they're not numbers,

PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM
What Does Average Man
In Slum Get Out of Plan?
(Editor's Note: This Is the second of a series on the gov
ernment's new housing program.)
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, VP) Jones lives in a slum. What's the govern
ment's new program slum clearance and public housing go
ing to mean to him?
Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot. It depends on whether his own
city wants to take part in the program. No city has to.
The government itself doesn t
go in and tear down a slum or
oven start a slum-clearance go
ing. It stands on the sidelines
like a combination banker and
rich uncle:
It's ready to help with money
in gifts and loans any city
which wants to tear down a
slum and set up low-rent pub
lic housing for low-income
people.
The program goes like this:
A city has a bad slum. It
wants to get rid of it. It gets
permission from its state legis
lature to do so and it gets a
small loan from the gevernment
to survey the whole problem
This includes public hearings
where people with an interest
in seeing the slum stay or go
can speak their piece. Suppose
then, the city decides to go
ahead and tear down the slum.
This is where money, may
be big money, comes in.
Buying up the slum property
and tearing down the rotten
buildings may take a lot of
money, more than the city can
spare, even though the city gets
some of it back later by selling

the leveled-off land.
The government steps in. It's
willing to stand two-thirds of
any loss on the deal. The city
must agree to bear the other
one-third of any loss.
The government is willing to
lose up to $500,000,000 on slum
clearance to get these blights
out of the way and their ten
ants moved into better, low-rent
homes.
...
So, for slum-clearance, in the
next five years the government
is prepared to hand out $1,500,
000,000 to the cities in loans and
grants, this way:
1. Loans $1,000,000,000. This
money all has to be paid back
by the cities at 2 'A to 3 per
cent interest. But they get 40
years to do it.
2. Grants $500,000,000. These
grants are really gifts which
the cities never have to pay
back. Since the loans have to be
paid back, but the grants don't,
the most the government figures
to lose on all slum-clearance is
$500,000,000 in grants.
But and this is important
for Jones and his neighbors in
the slums the government will
not help any city in any way
in getting rid of a slum unless:
The slum-dwellers forced to
move can be placed temporarily,
or relocated, in housing at least
not worse than they left and
at rent within their means.
And people forced out of a
slum, because the city is tear
ing it down, will get first crack
at a new, low-rent public hous
ing unit, provided they're other
wise eligible.
That is one of the reasons why
a lot of cities, before starting
slum-clearance, probably will
build public housing, also with
government help.
The government's end of the
deal checking, Investigating,
and deciding what city gets how
much money and for what
will be handled by the public
housing administration, a gov
ernment agency.

Airport Road
Plans Offered
City Engineer J. H. Davis has
submitted to the county court
a plan for the city-county im
provement of the extension of
25th street into the Salem air
port on the west side and also
for rehabilitation of the road
into the United Airlines depot
on the east side of the field.
The 25th street extension
shows 1200 feet of the street in
side the city limits and 2800 feet
in the county across the limits.
The plan as worked out is for
the city to grade the street,
which will be done immediate
ly, and the county will lay an
oiled road there as soon as its
equipment is available for use.
Each will bear its proportionate
share of the expense, the coun
ty to reimburse the city for
grading done on its road and the
city reimburse the county for
oiling done on its share.
The improvement of the road
into the United Airlines on the
east side will be done entirely
at the expense of the city. It
will grade the road, the county
will oil it and the city reimburse
the county for the oiling.
The 25th street extension will
probably be a 20-foot paved
roadway with the idea of even
tually being to have two sepa
rate roads, two lanes in each
road, one for entry into the air
port and the other for exit, with
a divided strip between.
Slight Relief
From Heat Wave
(By the Associated Press)
There was some relief in parts
of the nation's heat belt today
but there s still lots of hot wea
ther around and more coming.
Thundershowers and Canadian
breezes helped cool off some of
the hot spots in the eastern states
and the Great Lakes region. But
the hot and humid weather of
the last week persisted from the
rockies southward into Texas.
There were no 90-degree read
ings yesterday over the eastern
areas. Rain fell in some sections.
But there was not enough rain
in the northeastern states to
break the seven - week - old
drought. Farm crops have suf
fered millions of dollars damage
from the long dry spell.
The mercury hit into the 90s
in Montana, the Dakotas, Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio and
Oklahoma. It was above 100 In
parts of Texas, hitting 101 at Ab
ilene and Amarillo and 100 at
Houston. Milwaukee was in line
for some of the cool air and the
day's high was 72. Chicago got1
some cooling off, too, as show
ers brought temporary relief.
Yesterday s high was 85.
Thundershowers fell over
widely scattered parts of the
country. There was rain in Mis
souri, Arkansas, the Ohio river
valley, West Virginia, Virginia,
North Carolina, the middle Mis
souri river valley and the cen
tral and northern Rockies. A
fall of 1.06 inches was reported
at Evansville, Ind.
Rain in eastern Pennsylvania
measured up to one inch in some
sections.

23 Tons of Coins Yield
Of Parking Meters in Year
By STEPHEN A. STONE
This isn't a $64 question. It's worth a lot more than that if you
can answer it. Not in money in the pocket, maybe, but in the
thrill of knowing you are a wizard in arithmetic.
Okay, how much do 23 tons of pennies, nickels and dimes
amount to? -
City Treasurer Paul Hauser
has footed up the tonnage of
coins collected in Salem s more
than 1500 parking meters from
July 2, 1948, to June 30, 1949,
and 23 tons is the approximate
weight.
Total value, of course, de
pends on the division among the
three coins. It happens to be
$108,400.56 for the year. Neith
er the tonnage nor the value in
cludes the accumulation of Iron
washers, slugs and foreign coins
that has reached the city treas
ury. 'Why the dimes?" is of course
an obvious question.
The answer is that a lot of
people either set little value on
small coins, or don't know that
the parking meters aren't made
for dimes. They will swallow
dimes, however, but return only
12 minutes parking, the same as
pennies, for the two hours that
two nickels would give.
The total of $108,400.56 for
the 52 weeks was $42,929.41 in
pennies, $85,068.75 in nickels
and $402.40 in dimes.
The total numbe" of coins was
5,598,340, or 4,292,941 pennies,
1,301,375 nickels, and 4024
dimes. The average number of
coins a week was 107,660.
In weight the pennies collect
ed for the year hefted 30,050
pounds, the nickels 16,267, which
equals a little better than 23
tons, and the weight of the dimes
is to be added to that.
The city treasurer finds that
$100 in pennies weighs 70
pounds, and $100 in nickels, 25
pounds. '
Besides the good money the
meters yielded 1196 mutilated
coins, 1040 juke box slugs, and
3432 iron washers.
There were coins from Cana
da, Mexico, Germany, Nicaragua
China, France, Bolivia, Belgium.
Philippine Islands, Netherlands,
East Indies, Great Britain, New
Zealand, Chile, Ecuador, Japan
Hungary,' Norway, Helvetia and
Palestine.
And there were pennies with
tails on both sides, and, maybe
from the purse of some magi
cian, one coin that was a dime
on one side and a penny on the
other.
The average weekly take of
the meters was $2084.63, and
the average monthly yield was
$9033.36.
Treasurer Hauser offers the
comment that "parking meter re
ceipts seem to be a barometer
of business conditions. The larg
est receipts are for the weeks
in December preceding Christ
mas, and the smallest the weeks
in January, following New
Year's. July is a quiet month.'
The biggest week of the year
was December 17 to 23, with a
take of $2646.93, and the light
est, December 31 to January 6,
with $1732.30. The heaviest
month was December with $11,
932.53 and the lightest January
with $7636.49.

U. N. Charter
(Continued from Page 1)
But, Mundt said, members
also would agree to: (1) no veto
power, such as Russia has been
using often in the United Na
tions; (2) no military use of
atomic bombs; (3) international
control of atomic energy; and
(4) an international police force.
The proposal came while the
senate was working on the
North Atlantic pact and the
European recovery program.
Present Situation
The situation lined up this
way:
North Atlantic treaty
Senate leaders hope to reach
a final vote on the pact either
Monday or Tuesday. They ex
pect overwhelming approval of
the 12-nation alliance but not
until after some senators are as
sured their vote will not com
mit them to voting for the re
armament of western Europe.
European recovery
Members of the senate appro
priations committee appeared to
be agreed the economic co-oper
ation administration may have
to take a fairly heavy cut.
Mundt said the new pact plan
will be offered as a reslution in
connection with the arms-for-Europe
program. President Tru
man is expected to send the arms
plan to congress next week.
The alliance would be open,
Mundt said, to any member of
the United Nations which would
agree "to play ball under a new
set of rules."
