GENERAL 'PET IN
Word was received today that W. F.
Carper, well known figure in the oil
Industry, has been appointed man
ager for General Petroleum corpora
tion of a district including Medford,
Grants Pass and Klamath Falls. His
headquarters will be In Medford.
The appointment, announced by
Ralph G. Bowman, assistant general
sales manager and director of the
comporatlon, comes to Carper as
New Year's gift In the form of
Important promotion, shared
throughout the Pacific Coudt terri
tory by many others among General
Petroleum's personnel.
Carper has been with t,he corpora
tion since February of 1926 and Is
one of the older employes of the com
pany In plont of service. He Joined
the General forces as a salesman In
Seattle and has climbed steadily
through the ranks of the sales de
partment to his present position.
In addition to the above named
member of the company, the promo
tions, realignment of sales personnel
and creation of new executive posi
tions will affect General Petroleum
employee from the Mexican to the
Canadian border.
"They have been made necessary
by the heavy Increase In the corpo
ration's business during 1033," the
oil official said. "This Increase has
resulted In much heavier response
blllty devolving upon our sales rep.
resentatlves and accordingly we. are
making the promotions both as an
appreciation of excellent work done
by the recipient and to better the
company's service to Its customers
In 1834." .
E
Tax collections by the sheriff's of
fice, or the year 1033, totaled $887,
859.92. For 1932 the collections amounted
to 1,020.770.07.
The figures show a decrease, chief
Tax Deputy Gertrude Martin says this
Is due to a decrease in the amount
of property In the tax rolls and a
decline In valuation. She estimates
that the 1033 delinquency Is three
per cent greater than in 1032.
Under a new Oregon law, tax pay
ments are made quarterly, starting
March 6. two months earlier than
usual, with rebates for payments m
full, or Installments.
