Besides his duties of being responsible for the equip ment and personnel of the fire department, conducting drills and directing firefighting, he does the bookkeeping for the de partment, submitting reports and keeping records. A $200 increase in Social Secur ity is provided, climbing to $1300, because of an increase in rate and the additional on in creases in salary allowed city employees. A figure of $250 for planning and development that was in cluded in the budget last year has been removed. State Indus trial Accident cost has doubled, from $400 to $H00, largely be cause two accidents experienced by city workers caused the city to lose its experience credit. Emergency fund in the new budget is cut to $2500 torn $5000, largely because the city has never found it necessary to use the larger sum. Maintenance and repairs of city properties has been increas ed to $1632 from $1000 to provide $575 for a new welding outfit. $000 for a new floor in the city hall, and an additional sum for improvement to the walk at the city fire station, providing drive ways where now planks are used to break the droo from the curb as the trucks move in and out.

Chase Heppner Ph. 676-9103 County Budget ' Levy at $162,213 ' For Coming Year (Continued from Page 1) may discuss it with the county court at that time. Dewey West of Boardman is chairman of the budget com mittee and Gene Pierce is sec retary and Henry Baker of lone is a third citizen member. With them, the county court Judge Uscar Peterson, Commissioner Milton Biegel and Commissioner K o. i-erguson comprise the committee. The budget provides a sum of $2100 for "agricultural exhibits." This is in lieu of the $4000 pro vided last year for the North Morrow County fair. Army En gineers brought to the atten tion of the county court that Morrow county could not legally have two fairs. Because of this, the item was first reduced from the $4000 to $500 in the budget However, residents of the north ern part of the county orotested, and it was decided to Include the sum of $2400 for "agricult ural exhibits." The Army Engineers figured in the matter when they offered $28,500 to the county for existing fair buildings Judge Peterson said. When the county asked the Corps to consider relocation of the buildings, the Engineers wrote a letter to the court stating that holding two fairs is illegal for a county in the state of Ore gon. At this point, it was decided to sell the buildings at the price offered, take the money and di vert it to the Morrow county fair in Heppner. When the pro test arose, however, the court asked the Engineers to rescind I lie sale agreement on the build ings, and the item of $2400 was included in the budget for the exhibits. In the meantime a committee ((imposed of West, J. Z. Gillespie, both of Boardman, and Andrew Sidles of Irrigon has been ap pointed to investigate the matter of the North Morrow fair and make recommendations. While expenditures in the county are very similar to those last year, with the exception of l ho road situation and the North Morrow fair, there are some ad ditional changes. A sprinkler system must be installed in the old portion of the hospital, which is of frame con si met ion, by order of the State Kire Marshal. This means an in creased sum for the hospital maintenance sum that is listed at $11,000 for the coming year as compared with $8000 last year. Salary of the juvenile coun sellor has been increased to $l(i00 per year with additional provision of $1015 for travel ex penses. The counsellor system was first started last vear and has worked out very well, ac cording to the judge. The total of $2015 budgeted is $1,615 more than the $1000 of last vear when the matter was started on some thing of a trial basis. The stream gaging fund, which was set at $i)15 in the estimate, was pared to $.'!15 by the budget committee. The reduction will IPENNEY'S 3 Days Only!

College District Election Friday (Continued from Page 1) the Blue Mountain district Com munity College would be located in Pendleton. It would seek to offer vocational and technical education to students of the area, would offer standard collegiate courses for transfer to higher institutions, would offer adult education programs for special needs of the area it serves and would give extension courses for groups in the communities it embraces. Financial support for the col lege would come from three sources: 1, Student fees. 2. State aid. 3. Local support by a prop erty tax. Because the bulk of the money is to come from that already allocated by the state and from student fees, propon ents of the proposal have esti mated that the property tax in the district would be approxi mately two-tenths of a mill for operating costs. Highest esti mates do not exceed five-tenths of a mill for operation. However, additional may be required for equipment. Total operating budget for the first year has been estimated at $149,800, a cost per student of $700, estimating that 214 will be enrolled. Of the total, $92,662 would come from state aid, $42,800 from student fees (at the rate of $200 per student), and $14,338 from local property tax. This latter tax, spread over the assessed valuation of Umatilla and Mor row counties (totalling $83,918, 991) would bring the two-tenths mill levy. Extending to 1967-68, It is ex pected that enrollment at the school will grow to some 538 students with per student cost of $800 per year and a total op erating budget of $430,400. State aid then is estimated at $286,754 and student fees (at the rate of $250 each) would tiring $121, 051. Local area support would be $22,598, which would represent less than a half-mill on the tax levy, assuming that the district's valuation is the same as now. Abrams said Thursday morn ing after attending a meeting in Pendleton Wednesday night that it is expected that some new technical equipment would be needed that would bring the local property tax levy for the college to about one mill or possibly as much as 1V4 mills. As enrollment grows in the college, it is anticipated that a building program would be need ed. However, needs of the college could be met by using existing facilities for at least three years. If a building program were undertaken, 75 per cent of the cost would come from the state and 25 per cent from the local district.
