Four Main Problems Face County Budget Drafting Committee Four major problems relief, schools, roads and governmental expenses confront the Jackson county budget committee, which holds its first meeting next Thursday. County Judge J. B. Coleman said today relief funds would require between $80,000 and $90,000, of which Old Age assist ance and general relief would be the largest items. Road and bridge maintenance are another finance problem. The state law requires a one-mill levy for roads, also allotment of $10 per school pupil, based on a yearly census, starting October 1. The budget committee also has to prepare a budget for a half year, from January 1 to July 1, and a full year budget from July 1 next to July 1, 1943. Apportionment of funds on a half year basis is also cited as quite a task. The budget committee is com posed of the county court, and Henry Enders of Ashland, H. A. (Bert) Thierolf of Medford and Edward Carlton, Old Stage road. All the civilian members have had previous experience on budget drawing. ASHLAND WANTS T Ray D.

Sixteen applicants are expec ted to take the re-examination for the position of Ashland post master Saturday. The examin ation will be held at 8:30 a. m. in room 214, Medford federal building. Room 214 is the fed eral courtroom. The examina tion will be in charge of Earl H. York, secretary of the local board of civil service examiners. Only six persons took the or iginal examination, held in Ash land last January. Only two passed, Millard Crubb, veteran assistant postmaster at Ashland, and Ted Guetzlaff of Bellview, former owner of Ted's feed store in Ashland. Both are Re publicans. Two Pais t int aula Those familiar with civil ser vice procedure said that another examination was called because only two passed the first quiz and three must be certified for selection. At any rate, the coun ty Democratic central commit tee said at the time a request for a re-examination would be filed, one of the grounds cited being that the examination should not have been held in Ashland in the first place. Or dinarly an examination for post master is not held in the place where the position is to be filled. LIVESTOCK Portland Portland, Ore..
