MCCASKEY AGREES COMMUNITY CHEST AFTER JAIL TERM T( CITY DADS BUSY IE ET The Medford city officials and the official cltleen advisors of the latter will soon be busily engrossed in pre paring the budget of operating ex penses next year. Already the various city depart ments are preparing their tentative budgets to be submitted at a joint meeting of the city council the last of this month with the city budget oommlttee. The latter committee of well known business men, which has been in touch with city affairs, at lsaat theoretically, as It was appoint ed for that purpose by Mayor I. M.

The following motion, carrying the unanimous vote of all the directors present at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the Medford Community Chest, Inc., was sub mitted to the county court, city council, and city and county bud get committees. "The Medford Community Chest, recognizing that there Is to be a need for relief work during the com ing winter, pledges Itself to do every thing possible to raise the necessary funds by private subscription, but It Is the belief of this organization that It Is incumbent upon the state, county, and city to create emergency funds adequate to take care of the situation which cannot be handled by private agencies. "It is the recommendation of the Medford Community Chest that the first Item in the county budget for the calendar year 1932 be an emer gency fund to be used for the pur pose of supplying relief employment. if necessary; and It Is further recom mended to the county court of Jack son .county, that in the creation of a budget for the coming year, var ious other Items be reduced sufflc. lently to provide for such an emer. gency fund, without causing an in. orease In Vie present tax rate. . "We have been Informed that the county budget committee Is receptive to the Idea of the oreatlon of an emergency fund, and It Is suggested that II such a fund Is recommended by the budget committee, that the county court approve such recom mendation," ; . , PATCH SUIT FOR DAMAGES CALLED, E The damage suit of Roy O.
