Am (he situation now stands tho 'budget for the city of Medford's ex penses for next year will be $90,f!Mj, I and good news for the taxpayers Is jtlmt the levy foi- this sum, $17.7 mills, will be one-half mill lews than last year's, levy, which was H.2. This levy for next year's general city expenses Includes interest on all bonds. The budget was decided on last night ut a mewing of the citizens budget committee, with the city coun cil, during which the budget, as pre pared by the city officials, was ap proved by the committee, in general. The only important change made by the committee was In Increasing the fund for paving repairs from $2500 to I&OO0. as It was thought to be a wise policy to keep tho street paving In good condition. If this Increase had not been made the total levy for next year would have lieen one mill less, Instead of a half mill less. The final meeting prior to the pas sage of the budget ordinance will be held Nov. 30. and it Is improbable that any changes will be made at that time. The citizens budget committee con sists of (. .M. K'ldd. John C. .Mann. IM White. . A. Knight. I-. It. liaskiiis, T. W. Allies and Vernon Vawter. The largcHt Increase In the budget of any of the city departments Is one of SlfU'JU to the fire department, mak ing the total sum for this department f 10. -'I'M. caused chiefly by granting of Increased snkujes to the firemen. The fire chief is ruined from $130 to fl'iO a monih, nnd other firemen nrc increased $10 to 1'0 per month each The firemen have always been better paid Than the policemen, and under the new budget will draw from ?15 to fl'O a mouth more. The budget allows SfiuO for summer band concerts, the same as last year, and JtjUU for the K'd Cross. Operating expenses lor the water department are set at flO.OMO In the budget.

( A. I'.) I'taetlcally united support both In the house ami senate of the tax reduction bill now In preparation by thn house ways and means committee, an al most unprecedented prospect Is now confidently expected by house leaders. Wlih virtually all of the vital and I'outroverslal points of tax reduction already acted on by the committee, Chairman (Ireen said today that a mm-parttKau measure "bearing almost unanimous support," seems certain. For the first lime since tho war, re publicans and democrats In common have worked out their differences so far at least, und have iiRiced on the pYovisioiiH of a revenue bill. In doing this the committee has approved some of the main propomils of Kecre tnry Mellon and rejected others and the spirit of compromise was further reflected in the approval hi modified form of the proposal of Itepresenta tlve earner of Tux as. ranking demo crat, for increased personal exemp tions. Administration support of Secre tary Melton's siiKKeNiiou for repeal of the estate or inheritance tax. After disposing yesterday of Hev -etui main provisions in the bill, the committee rested today to pfve suh eom m it lees opportunity to wvk ort specific rate sehcdulcs on 'he Ineome surtax and iuheritunc" levies.

OF SIXTH STREET .Mayor Ah'mh'ifrr bus Just received a letter from the Oregon Insurance ItatiiiK Bureau, James AI. .Mcl'uue, manager, which states In poHitive terms that unless tho-city of Medford opens a new crossing over tho South ern Tueiflc tracks. In addition to the present .Main strict cross! ug, that bureau will increase the Insurance rates on all property In tho city west of the railroad tracks. Air, .McCune'H letter does not stipu late any time limit, In making this threat, which fact causes Home specu lation as to whether a new crossing must be provided In u month, six months or year. Nor does it state where a new crossing should he estab lished. This letter Is Interesting In view of the faet that recently the Southern Pacific railroad management Jn con ference with the city officials agreed to permit the cUy to establish the long talked of crossing over Sixth street only July 1st next, after the Natron cut-off Is In opertaion. W'hilo the railroad officials have not so stated, It Is generally under stood hero that the change of heart of the railroad in permitting this new crossing to be established in this location, which , proposition It had always fought heretofore, Is that when the Natron cutoff Is operated all freight trains, either north or south bound, except local freights, will not pass through Mod ford, but will be routed on the Natron cutoff. The city officials presume that when the Insurance rating bureau Is Informed that the Sixth street cross ing will be established shortly after July 1 , that bureau will be satisfied and not put Into effect the threatened rais In rates for the west side.

UTTUOTON. Colo.. Nov. 7. ( A. I'.) After placing only six witnesses on the stand the state rested Its case arly today in the case of Dr. Harold Klmer IJlazer, who Is charged with the murder of his daughter. Hazel, the 3 1 -year-old "child woman" who never grew up. Joel Stone, prosecuting attorney. rested the case with dramatic sudden ness after lr. lioorge A. Molecn, Den ver physiidaii and alienist, declared that Blazer's Insanity was probably simulated, and caused either by "an opiate or chloroform." He was preceded by Dr. 11. II.

Previously ho said tations, Wilson passed to Guttorm- Blazer's only remark was the word yes." in answer to his query when he asked the defendant if he slashed his own throat. AhlredKe suid he refresh ed his memory overnight by "reading the testimony I offered before the coroner's Jury."
