derstood to be under consideration by
President Coolidge.
Mrs. Willebrandt, who has been in
charge of prohibition cases in t he
department of justice, called on Mr.
Coolidge today and although uo offi
cial announcement was made , there
were indications that her nomina
tion as the first woman to sit as a
federal judge might go to the capitol j
shortly.
There has been a disagreement

With no changes from the original
estimates as presented at the annual
tax payera meeting tho Lane county
budget for the coining year was aign
ed today by the three members of (he
court and late this afternoon was
to be turnnjl over to Hen I' Kceney,

The budget calls for a total of
$IK)4.0ni.S4. The state tar is listed

With the budget in its' present form
and two mills for the Ilarrisburg
bridge, two mills for bridge repair
and one-half mill for the cruise the

mills according to unofficial figures.
The Kugene city levy will be 50.3
mills including the city levy of '15

county levy of 2S.H mills. There
may he some slight variation in these
figures when the official tabulation
is made.
With the signing of the budget and
the order for the timber cruise an
other question has arisen as to
whether the cruise levy in also in
cluded in the six per cent constitu
tional limitation, according to rumors
prevalent around the courthouse this
