receive $50 per month under the
new budget. 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.
The complete budget is printed
for the first time in this week's
paper on pages 4 and 5 of section
2. It will be published once more
next week.

County Budget '
Levy at $162,213 '

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

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.
