Phoenix Schedules
Meeting Tomorrow
, On Budget Election
Phoenix A public hearing
will be held tomorrow at 8 p.m.
In the Phoenix Community club
hall concerning the city budget
election Tuesday on exceeding
the six per cent increase limita
tion by $10,370.91, according to
Mrs. Curt Fisher, city recorder.
Exactly the same budget which
was defeated June 6 by a vote
of 85 to 33 will be re-submitted
to the people, Mrs. Fisher said,
by order of the city council. She
said this decision was based on
the conviction by the mayor and
council that "if the people fully
understand the budget they will
pass it."
The recorder said that most
people don't realize that "failure
to allow the money asked for
will mean loss of the city's fire
truck, which is being purchased
on a lease basis of $2,000 a year,
plus depreciation, and no police
department."
She explained that the state
law governing budget matters
will only allow a six percent in
. crease unless a special election
f Is held for any amount over this.
Because the city's tax base is so
small, the allowable amount for
the last fiscal year ($269.14) can
only be raised to $285.29 for
1952-53.
The amount over the limita
614.46 in 1951-52 down to the
tion has been cut from $18,
$10,370 asked for now by means
of raising minimum water rates
from $2 to $2.50, and by increas
ed revenues from the state liq
uor tax which is general through
out the state.
City councilmen have pointed
out that the proposed business
tax is not included in the bud
get and that salary increases ap
ply only to the police and water
departments, where a $25 month
ly increase is asked.

William H. "Bill" Alexander, na
tional chaplain of the Republi

vorce by his wife, who charges

riage her personality was entire
ly subjugated, and that the

ions of a wife are absent.

ly approaches that of a servant

14, Don, 13, and Ann, 4. She

Gearhart U.PJ Charjes
B. Buxton, business manager of
the Denver Post, told a Fri
day night banquet of the Oregon
Newspaper Publishers associa

iness is a dying business that
"all business and free efforts as
we now conceive of them are

Successful newspapering, said
Buxton, depends on a combina
tion of sound editorial policy and
good business. He said thorough
organization was the most basic
fundamental ot newspaper op
eration. Buxton worked on The Ore
