Go-ahead Signal
For Courthouse
Pietro Belluschi, Portland
architect who is designing Mar
ion county's new courthouse,
finally has the go-ahead signal
to draw up actual blueprints for
the building.
Interior plans for the new
courthouse have been approved
by the various county officials,
County Judge Grant Murphy
announced Tuesday. The exter
ior plans had previously been
accepted by the courthouse com
mission.
There had been much discus
sion among county officers as to
the location of the offices in re
lation to each other in the new
building.
Belluschi, after making sev
eral changes, finally came up
with a floor plan which is rea
sonably satisfactory to all con
cerned.
Now Belluschi will devote his
time to the drawing of detailed
blueprints. The architect esti
mates that it will take him
about nine months o complete
the final plans.
Once the blueprints are ready,
they will be made available to
contractors, and bids will be ac
cepted for the new courthouse,
expected to cost about $1,500,-
000. .

All Safe
(Continued from Page 1)
At least six vessels were dis
patched to investigate. But of
ficials said the oil slick was in a
shipping lane where such traces
are common, and there was
strong possibility this one was
caused by a vessel. The coast
guard said another pilot had
sighted an oil slick around
boat ifi the same general search
area earlier yesterday.
The other clue was a wireless
signal heard for an hour and a
half after the B-36 made its last
radio contact.
Col. Cecil Scott, spokesman at
Carswell air force base at Fort
Wofth, Tex., where the big plane
was bound on a training flight
from Alaska said the signal was
" a continuous tone as though
somebody had tied down the key
of a wireless set."
B-29 Crash at Great Falls
Search officials at McChord
air force base, Wash., declining
to be quoted by name, expressed
the opinion crewmen of the B-36
may have lost the wireless key
put the plane on automatic pilot
and then bailed out.
They said that if this was done
the plane could have flown
considerable time, giving out
the signal, before it finally crash

School Millage Tax Raise
Discussed by Citizens
Will the voters favor the proposal? Will the millage rate be
come so high in Salem that it will discourage business? If the
program is not adopted where will the children coming into school
age be educated?
These questions as well as
night when a group of some 4Ui,
representative citizens met witn
the Salem school board to dis
cuss a financial program for un
derwriting the expense of an ex-
nnnried school system.
The nlan up tor consideration
was one that involved an eight
mill serial levy for a period ot
10 years and a bond issue next
year involving $3,7i5,uuu. me
total increase would oe approxi
mately 14 mills. The present
school rate is 34 mills.
While sympathetic with the
problems of the board which
is confronted with a rising scnooi
population due to an increased
birth rate. Mayor Robert L. Elf
strom and Fred Paulus, chief
deputy state treasurer, express
ed the opinion that the voters
would not favor a financial load
as proposed.
The mayor pointed out that
the city of Salem is badly in need
of drainage projects, additional
sewers and a complete new sew
age disposal plant. He said that
the over-all cost might reach
the $4,000,000 mark, which
combined with school financing.
would mean "a prohibitive tax
loaa "
Asked what he considered the
top margin of safety for a com
munity to assume in taxation
Paulus replied that 90 mills was
about the limit. He mentioned
a number of communities that
had exceeded that mark and
then had defaulted on their
bonds. He saw the possibility
of a load of 100 mills for Salem
if all of the demands for money
are met.
In speaking of the Salem
school district tax load, Supt.
Bennett said it was not out of
line with other Oregon cities,
pointing out that Eugene had a
much higher rate. Mrs. Agnes
Booth, county school superin
tendent. stated that the Salem
district was getting much more
for its tax dollar than was the
county in general.
