5EEDF0RD lEHL THIBUXE, MEDFOTtD, OREGOX, "WEDNESDAY, JUXE 14, 1933. 'AGE THREE HEDRICK QUOTES SCHOOL FIGURES TO SHOW SAVING To the Editor: My attention hu been called to con"-""'--tlon In Th Mall Tribune, issue of June 12, from Mr. A. W. Pipes In which he see mi to say that the 7.6 mllla by which the school board has reduced the city school tax during the past two years, wss all occasioned by the reduced debt payments, which it was not necessary to meet this year. He further states that the budget tor 1833-84 (the ensuing yesr) calls for $6500 more for operating expenses than the budget for 1033-33 did. I am sorry to find It necessary to say that neither of the above state ments is correct and am unable to see how Mr. Pipes was led tnto the error of making them. The total budget for the city schools for the yesr 1933-34 la $78,463.73 lees than the total budget for 1832-33. Of this reduction e34.814.73 is for debt losd and 43,851.00 Is a reduction In ope ration expense. This yeara reduction of 7.6 mllla In the city school tsx came partly from a reduction In debt lo&d, but the larger part of It came from reduced operation expense. For the fiscal year 1932-33 (the year we had a double bond payment on account of the building program) the total budget was 8333,813.73. Of this, $75,844.73 was debt load, and $267,969 was for operating expenses. For the fiscal year 1833-34 the total budget allowed for all purposea Is $255,348. Of this $41,230 Is debt load, and $214,118 Is operating cost. Now If we subtract -the operating cost In the 1933-34 budget from the operat ing cost in the 1832-33 budget shewe an ACTUAL REDUCTION of $43,851 Instead of an Increase of $8500, ss Mr. Pipes states. This means Just what It Bays, namely, that the budget for school OPERATING COSTS ALONE for 1883 34 was actually reduced $43,851 below that for the previous year, 1832-33. These budgets were made according to law, published In all dally papers, and are available for the Inspection of any one who dealres to do so. Since the matter of school budget allowance for operative costs Is under discussion It might Interest many people to know that while there waa a budget allowance of $257,869 for 1932-33 operation expenses, the actual expendlturea were on'.y $210,472.00, (which Includes the one-iourtn fo ment of teachers' aalarles held up until the end of the year). This means that the school board .kept it llmvtmca bv $47,497. Now for the year 1933-34, the budget allowance for operation tu. is $214,118, as stated above. Since this year Is still ahead of ua, and the actual expendlturea have not yet been made, eirct flgurea cannot be given of course. As a result, how- - ,k ttAow ntji made In the ever, u, schools, and In line with the plans already worked out and on which teachers have been electee, u operative costs will, In sll probability, not exceed $155,000. This estimate, - thj, Mummntlon that the schools will be kept open In some shape during me entire j:r. " t h.n... n ran do if we get any kind of a break on tax payments this fall. nq.... b m fMminui time for the schools. Just now the task la not easy, but we are coming tnrougn u right. What helps most Is what we have always had a bs per cent com' munlty co-operation and support. E. H. HEDRICK, City School Superintendent. TO UNITED STATES (Continued rrora rag One) question which will take account of this and other debt payments. Policy Announced "I announced In November 1932, & policy to the effect that a debtor may at any time approach a creditor with representations concerning the debt and to ask for readjustment of the debtor of Its term of payment. Under such circumstances the debtor government makes such representa tions as it seems of importance with respect to the desirability of any re adjustment In the terms already agreed upon. "The British government availed itself of this principle following the payment of the December 15 pay ment and I had Informal discussions concerning the debt with the British ambassador even before my Inaugur ation. Not In Default "In view of those representations and of the payment I have no per sonal hesitation In saying that I do not characterize the resultant situa tion as a default. "Beyond this law and the constitu tion do not permit mo to go. The American public understands clearly that the settlement under which these debts are now being paid was made under the authority of con gress and that congress alone has the right to alter the amount and meth od of payment of this debt. "Further than this, the congress In December, 193 1 ., m approving the moratorium In June of that year, specifically set forth that the 'debt should not be cancelled or reduced.

S1.00-S1.25 PROJECT IS GIVEN EAT (Continued ftum Page One.) foTd, was chosen to attend meetings of the highway 'commission hereafter In the interests of the Pacific high way. PORTLAND. June 14. Sur vey for the relocation of the Pacific highway between Junction City. Eu gene and Goshen was authorised by the state highway commission here following a conference yesterday with forestry and bureau of public roads officials on allocation of forest road funds. The new route, it was announced. would follow the railroad most of the way, would shorten the distance and would place the highway above the high water mark. The commission also ordered a re connaissance survey of the north Umpqua highway as requested in a letter from B. L. Eddy of Roseburg. Many requests for widening, con struction of secondary highways and for bridges were rejected by the com mission with the usual remark "no funds.' The five bridges along the Oregon coast highway, if constructed under the Jurisdiction of the state highway! commission and with borrowed feder-', al funds, will be toll bridges, and not free. This was made known when the commissioners were confronted with communications from the coast high way association suggesting toll-free spans. Chairman Leslie Scott c! the com mission declared the state could not guarantee the $2,500,000 non-grant funds expected from the federal gov ernment. All tentative projects listed for al location of forest highway funds were approved by the conference and the lists sent to Washington, with the exception of the proposed $140,000 for the Diamond lake road. This pro ject was set aside until later and the money not reallocated. The state highway commission told forestry of ficials It was Its hope this money could be placed on a forest highway which would be of more use to the state. No agreement was reached. The approved allocation of funds In two budgets were as follows: For the Initial letting as soon as the federal money is available: Pen- die ton-John Day 100.000; Sheep Creek 100.000; Tlller-Trall $75,000; Willamette highway $60,000; W 11 tim et t highway bridge $76,000; North Santlam $65,000 with $50,000 to be matched by Marlon county; South Santlam, grading east section $35,000; Weston-Elgin $50,000; Sluslaw under crossing $35,000. For additional funds: Tiller-Trail $50,000; Pendleton-John Day $60,000, Willamette highway $115,000 and Canyon City-Burns $25,000.
