EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE gundir. April 27. 1S32 87th Confederate Memorial Day Honors Seven Suviving Veterans Atlanta (U.R) Exhausted gray-clad legions of the Confed eracy laid down their arms in 1865, victims of superior man power from the conquering North, but Saturday on the 87th Confederate Memorial Day the South had at last achieved nu merical superiority. Seven veterans of that bitter conflict were able to hobble or wheel themselves to muster in their faded gray, but only four Union veterans still live. Four States Observe Day Four Southern states planned services to mark the occasion. Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississipppi all observe the Me morial Day on April 28. But only two of them can boast a cen tenarian who marched and fought under Marse Robert E. Lee. The sons and daughters of the Confederacy used to build their ceremonies around the old sol diers a few yean back but the remaining handfi '. Is too fragile now.

Gold Hill LEONS GREAT ANNUAL for SHOE SALE Continues All Next Week Gold Hill The Gold Hill city council, in a special meeting with the citizens advisory budget committee Thursday night at the city hall, drew up a budget of S30.000 for the coming year, to he voted on at a special election Tuesday, May 13. This Is an In crease of $4,000 over last year's budget. The council voted to hold an election on revising certain charter provisions at the same time as the budget election. One of the new charter provisions would combine the offices of city recorder, city treasurer and water collector. This would pro vide practically a full-time po sition for one person. Increases Listed The principal Increases In the city budget were accounted for by an item of $1,000 to pur chase new fire hose; $1,000 in the fire fund for insurance of fire department voluntcrs and equipment for them; and $900 to raise the salary of the recorder and water collector, so that if the three Jobs are combined, the total salary will amount to $2400 a year. Another substantial in crease was in the water depart ment, with an extra sum of $1500 for water-main pipe and labor, to replace part of the water-main now In bad condi tion. Amounts for truck repairs and replacements and for lights and power were lowered from the sums budgeted last year. The bond and interest amount was increased $1,200 to take care of the payments on fire truck bonds voted by the peo ple last year. . The sum to be.raised by taxes was set at $18,085, which was also exactly $4,000 above the $14,085 raised by last years taxes. Election Change Aim The other charter provisions to be voted on will include a measure to provide for election of only half the council mem bcrs at each biennial election so that all terms will not expire simultaneously. Another provision would set all city elections biennially on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November, and would remove the provision that election Judges and clerks must be paid only $2.50. Members of the citizens ad visory' budget committee in cluded Paul Thompson, chair man; Ralph Bell, secretary; An gus Todd, Wilbur Martin, Ray Davis and Merrltt Davis.
