Three speakers, Eric Allen Jr., managing editor of The Mail Tribune, Mrs. Stephen Nye, Med ford school board member, and Robert A. Duff. Medford city manager, each explained legis lative matters of interest here. Mr. Allen, using a hypotheti cal bill, traced its path through the many steps from the time it is originally introduced in the House or Senate until finally signed by the governor. He also mentioned the various types of measures that are handled by the legislators and the vast amount of time needed by them to study the more than 1,200 measures that have been introduced to be considered by the House and Senate so far this session. He explained that the biggest single problem to be faced by the legislators this year is budget and taxation, and added that the $318,000,000 in spending propos als for the state was the sum total of many requests and not simply a lump sum. Many School Bills Mrs Stephen Nye spoke of the 84 bills now being considered by the legislation that deal with schools. Of these many bills, Mrs. Nye explained, four of them have received the most attention. These four are Senate Bills 64 and 285, which deal with equal izing the tax burden; House Bill 163, which would reorganize school districts; and House Bill 171, that would improve work ing conditions of school person nel. She explained the present laws and how the proposed bills would change them.
