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.

wounded his mother with a .22

the taSks which he complained
of being constantly assigned.
He waited until his father
left the family home for a wood
shed, the sheriff said, and then
fired three times. Two shots
pierced the elder McCoin's eyes
and a third struck his shoulder.
When his mother came run-
Inlng to interfere. Sharp quoted
me boy as saying, he turned
the gun on her and wounded
her in the legs.
McCoin died on the way to

16 TO TAKE QUIZ
Examination In Medford
Saturday Second in Effort
To Fill Vacant Post.
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.
