A fair trades act, tied in with the cigarette tax, to become operative if the tax is imposed, would raise an addi tional $110,000 in . license fees, the board estimated. The fair trade measure provides for a $5 annual license fee for retail deal ers and a fee of $250 a year for distributors. Hospital Costs Estimated The board estimated that the proposed hospital for the aged, to be located within a 20-mile radius of Portland, would cost $3,000,000 to build and $750,000 a year to operate. The board based its figure on the cost of operation on an estimated 500 patients who "would require al most constant care at a per cap ita cost of $125 amonth. The hospital measure was re ferred to the voters by the last legislature. A measure providing for ton weight fees for trucks, passed by the 1951 legislature but re ferred to the people by referen dum petitions . sponsored by large truck operators, would provide an additional $1,900,000 annually in highway funds, the board figured.

C&EP Tribune United Press raU Leased wue 1952 Pages 1-8 Gold Hill Hears . Highway Junction Will Be Changed x Gold Hill A report that the State Highway Commission has already take steps to move the junction of Highway 234 (Sams Valley highway) away from Gold Hill was" made Monday night at the city council meet ing. George Turner, city superin tendent, stated that he had re ceived reliable information that the state has purchased some property from the Wendell Ap lin place in back of the Whisper ing Pines church on Blackwell hill, for a cloverleaf to make a junction of. Highway 234 with Highway 99. Previously Denied At a council meeting several months ago, W. G. Stuntz, right of way agent for the highway commission, had reassured the councilmen that no such plan was contemplated, that the ter rain in that vicinity would make such a project almost impossi ble, that the state had already purchased right of way along the present 234 route practical ly to the Gold Hill city limits, and that if the route should be changed this money would be wasted. These statements' were repeated by several councilmen, who all agreed that Stuntz had made them. The council decided that it would be useless to at tempt to stop such a move, as their ' previous attempt to keep Gold Hill from being by-passed by Highway 99 had failed. A letter from the American La France Corporation in New York stated that the 500 . gallon pumper fire truck ordered for the city of Gold Hill had been shipped by freight July 30 and should arrive here about Aug ust 12. ' - Glen Kincaid appeared in re gard to a letter the council had sent him about a violation of the city building code, in that he was using as living -quarters a building erected under a per mit to construct a storage shed. Kincaid stated that the property was in litigation and that the court, had ; refused him permis sion to live in the unoccupied house on the premises. The council granted him 30 days in which to attempt to get the mat ter straightened out with the court. - Okey Fund Use A letter, from the State High way Commission authorized the use of the city's share of state funds for surfacing Sixth av enue. George Turner stated the grading of the street had been completed. The-council decided to have gravel spread on the surface now, and to wait until next spring to do the surfacing, so that the street could settle. Arrangements were made to have a new water main laid from the reservoir down to Sixth av enue. It was tentatively planned to lay the new pipe one day next week. Residents will be notified in the newspapers about the hours the water will be turn ed off. It was also planned to have the trench dug at the same time for extending the sewer lines to homes at the west end of Fifth avenue. A letter received from the State Highway Commission in answer to a request Irom the council that the state take over and maintain Ben Hur Lamp man park, asked if the city would object to a change of name for the park, since it is not the policy to name state parks after a person unless the land for the park has been donated by the person. The council plan ned to write an answer, giving its reasons for. wishing the pres ent name of the park kept, but that they would concede this point if absolutely necessary. It was reported that small children were roaming' the streets of Gold Hill until late hours at night, or were left in automobiles parked outside tav erns. Turner was instructed to consult county juvenile author ities about the problem.' Washington (U.R) The pro motion of Capt. Frederic W. Hesser, Hermiston, Ore., to the rank of rear admiral in the Navy supply corps was approv ed Wednesday by President Tru man.'
