City Budget Provides Funds for
Parking Facilities, Higher Wages
The general fund budg'l of
$810,912 for the city of Med
ford published in full Friday
shows an increase of SS?.i47
mdiv than the preliminary
budget.
A public hearing on the budg
et will be held starting at 7 :n
pm. Friday July 12, in the city
hall.
Much of the 3ryrea-e in the
bung-n is S50.00Q wtych will be
transferred into an off street
parking fund. Some of the rest
represents salary increases total
ing about $30,000 for city em
ployees, and increases in expend
itures bsfause of the recent jBer
rydole Sttfiexation.
Parking Meter Channel
City officials estimated that
recent parking meter changes
will net about S15.000. and a
revised business license schedule
will provide another $35,000 es
timated revenue.
Parking meter times were
changed from 9 a.m. to 5 p m.
to from 3 a m to 6 pm, and about
50 meters in the downtown area
' were changed from 12 minutes
for one cent to 30 minutes for
: five cents
City Manager Robert Duff said
lie expects the revised business
! license schedule to be ready
some time in July. It would be
: retroactive to July 1 this year.
Funds derived from these
sources will go into the general
fund, and S5O.000 will be trans-
. fcrree from that fund to the off
I street parking fund.
; May Be Started Soon
j Duff expressed hope that off
! street parking facilities may be
! started in the near future. A bill
1 passed by the last state legisla
ture will help provide such fa
cilities, he said.
The "bill authorizes the sale of
revenue bonds to finance off
street parkins facilities, and that
bonds shall be repaid from rev-

Justice Says Lawyers
Champions of Rights
Salem IP Chief Justice
William C. Perry of the Oregon
Supreme Court Friday described
attorneys as the first champions
of the rights of Americans as
free citizens.
The Chief Justice, who was
principal speaker at the fifth an
nual banquet of the Oregon Dis
trict Attorney's Conference, de
clared that through the diligent
work of attorneys the country
had been saved from regimenta
tion that would have led to even
tual decay.
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton, who was toastmaster,
introduced g u e s ts, including
three other members of the high
court, Associate Justices Hall
Lusk, James Brand, and George
Rossman. Thornton said attend
ance at the banquet was the larg
est in the history of the organiza
tion. The conference ended Satur
day following a forum on general
problems faced by prosecutors.
Earlier Peter S. Harman, assist
ant attorney general, described
problems relating to habeas cor
pus proceedings.

provides that if revenue is not

1 terest requirements, benefiting

! Salary increases averaged
about 5 per cent for all city em
ployees. Most departments had
j increases of one range step on
the salary scale, Duff said. The
! increase in the police department
was two range steps, he said, and
was felt necessary to compete
with other law enforcement
j agencies ui other cities.
j Salaries of some key person
nel were raised two range steps
I on the scale. Among them were
! the public works director, the
administrative assistant, the city
attorney and fire chief. The city
manager's salary was increased
S300 per year to $11,200 an
nually.
Engineering Department
The engineering department's
budget was increased from S87,
398 in the preliminary budget
to S89.438, chiefly because of
the anticipated increase in san
itary sewer work in the Berry
dale area.
In addition to salary iicreases
in the police department, one
patrolman was added during
budget committee meetings,
bringing the total to five patrol
men more than in the present
budget. City officials felt the
added patrolmen are necessary
because of the Grandview-Ke-n-wood
and Berrydale annexations.
The published budget shows a
decrease in the amount being
transferred from the general
fund for operation of the sewer
treatment plant. The preliminary
budget showed S35.899 for sew
er treatment, and the revised
budget shows that $18,479 will
be transferred from the general
fund.
Duff said that was possible
because S20.000 from sewer serv
ice revenue will be used for op
eration. Previously all revenue
from the sewer service charge
went to the bond fund. However,
in the past few years a surplus
in the bond fund has been built
up, and interest and principal
payments have become smaller.
Sewer Service Charge
Revenue from the sewer serv
ice charge still will provide
enough funds to meet all bond
and interest requirements, even
with $20,000 going into the oper
ation fund. Duff said.
Estimated receipts have in
creased from $394,969 to $453,
699. Annexations during the
past year have increased the tax
base, and state liquor and gas
tax revenue will increase with
the added population within the
city limits.
Liquor revenues to cities were
Increased 100 per cent during
the last legislature, from 5 to 10
per cent of state liquor revenues.
The tax base has increased an
estimated $12,514 in the Grand-view-Kenwood
area, and an es
timated $30,485 in the Berry
dale district Medford's tax base,
excluding those two areas, is
$247,027. To those tax bases is
added 6 per cent for the total
allowable levy of $304,848, the
amount necessary to balance the
budget.

RARE ORCHID The fragile-looking plant on the left, above,
is a phantom orchid, a species rarely found in this area. It was
discovered growing in the middle of a mountain trail high in
the Siskiyous last week by forest service employees Hal von
Stein, of Eagle Point, and Jim James, of Phoenix. In contrast
to the dainty phantom orchid is shown a sturdier mountain
plant called the glacier flower, which is often found blooming
along melting snow banks in the high mountains. The men car
ried the two plants, dirt and all, nine miles down a rough trail
to their car. The phantom orchid, shown above in the bud
stage, bloomed Friday. The stem and blooms of the plant are
semi-transparent, like a bean sprout.
Stocks Drop for Four

Naval Bases Are
Alerted About Flu
Washington TFi Naval bases
on both the Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards have been alerted to
wstch for any sign of the hghly
contagious "Oriental flu." a De
fense Department spokesman
said Saturday.
Some 550 men at the Newport,
R.I., Naval Base apparently have
been stricken with the disease
which first appeared on the
China mainland and then swept
across Asia.
U.S. Surgpon General Leroy
Burney announced Friday night
that all 48 state officers were
notified in hurry-up telephone
calls of the unexpected outbreak
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Government health officers
had been keeping a close watch
at Pacific ports and have detect
ed a few cases. The government
now is checking Atlantic coast
naval bases as well, possibly to
detect the spread of the disease
from Europe.

New York Stocks drop
ped for four straight sessions in
the past week after the indust
rial average had set a new high
since Aug. 17 on Monday.
The decline came at a time
when the market was nearing
its last lap toward the record
high in industrials set at the
close of April 6, 1956.
Market experts had warned
that resistance would be in or
der as the market neared the
peak. They were not surprised
that it did come but many were
surprised at the persistence of
the selloff and its scope.
The loss in industrials was
the widest since the week end
ing Jan. 18. Rails also declined
and utiliteis were hard hit. Sell
ing in that group reflected tight
money and inflation. The util
ities with their fixed inromes
are considered poor risks in an
inflationary period. Rate cuts in
some sections of Florida also
called attcn'.ion to the utility
group.
Copper Down
Coppers suffered from a fur
ther cut in copper prices tha'
had been heralded by softening
in the price of metal aboard
Tobaccos were firm for a time
on a cigarette price raise.
The aircrafts got a chill for
a time from an Air Force warn
ing that eventually there would
have to be cutbacks.
Reductions in auto production
by Chrysler hurt that stock for
a time late in the week. Other
motors moved narrowly.
Oils were sold for profits aft
er a long rise. Rails failed to
get into action and finally fell
back, further unsettling the mar
ket in general. Chemicals were
depressed at times but drug is
sues enjoyed a good market.
Steels were irregularly lower
with some of the specialties
managing to advance.
The market followed the Sen
ate Finance Committee's mone
tary hearings with trepidation
Warnings about high taxes,
mounting government spending
and tight money may have con
tributed to the market unsettle-
ment, Wall Street experts said.
Left Vulnerable
As the week closed the prob
lem was when resistance to the
decline would develop. The in
dustrial decline, it was held
left the market vulnerable to
further tests, although it was
believed the list, if it did decline
further, would soon get into
buying territory for at least a
temporary recovery.
The Dow-Jones industrial av
erage closed the week at ex
actly ouu, a level said to be a
crucial one. If that figure is bro
ken on volume, expect more
selling, said the market men.
Standard and Poor's 500-stock
index lost exactly one full point
on the week which meant a loss
in value of all listed issues of
$4,400,000,000.
Car Leaves Highway
Killing Idaho Man
Ontario 'IPi Howard Grant
Bybee. 36, Hamer, Ida., former
ly of Ontario, was killed early
Saturday when his car left Hi
way 201 west of here.
State police said the Bybee
car. left the road and travelled
394 feet before the right rear
of the vehicle hit a telephone
pole and snapped it in two. It
then traveled several more feet
and struck a tree dead center.
Bybee, who was alone in the
car, died in an Ontario hospital
shortly before 5 a.m. The acci
dent occurred about 4:30 a.m.
