Off-Street Parking
Item Discussed at
on Budget
Hearing
(Ceejtesaed fcara Page
Ja,y Deaiarrs, who operates
play's Bfer&er shop, 139 North
Central ave., said he opposed
the budfc-t item because he be
liev there should be a specific
iaf ffjr off-street parking, and
the pemple should know what
that pfjin is. DcMarrs was a
mnber of the committee in op
position to off-street parking
during last November's election
campaign.
City Manager Robert Duff
said there is no specific plan at
this time, but during the past
several years the city has collect
ed data from various surveys
which would be used in devising
an otf-street parking plan.
Need Money for Land
Councilman Jones pointed out
that unless money is available,
the city cannot purchase proper
ty or options on property.
Councilman Jimmy Dunlevy
said the council has discussed
what would be done with the
off-street park fund, and the
plan to finance such a facility
is not the same one defeated last
November. The money is needed
for advance planning, he said
to acquire lots and install the facility.
A. J. Curry, who operates the
Parkview Nursing home, 906
West Main St., said he was not
opposed to off-street parking as
such, but did oppose it when it
would be financed through lev
ies against "someone who does
not benefit." He was referring
to a revised business license
tax.
Curry said the city "plans
now to up the tax and use some
of the money. That's a back door
approach," he added.
Reevision Planned
C. O. Lovejoy, who supported
the November election proposal
for bonds, said the revised busi
ness license schedule was plan
ned on the basis of the larger
businesses being taxed accord
ing to ability to pay, and no in
crease was sought for smaller
businesses. He added that busi
nessmen approached the city on
a voluntary basis for a revision
in the schedule.
William Doernbach, 143 Mace
rd., said the taxpayers should
be notified and told where off
street parking facilities will be.
"Then," he said, 'the council
should call a vote." He said he
did not favor council action on
such a proposal when voters de
feated an off-street parking pro
posal last November.
The question arose as to what
citizen groups had proposed, in
cluding $50,000 in an off-street
parking fund. Ewaldson, who
was active in supporting the
bonding proposal in last Novem
ber's election campaign, said it
was "brought in in the council
itself."
Recognized Problem
Mayor John Snider said "the
council has always recognized
the problem, and something
should have been started on a
municipal basis previously.
Opening Night

Festival Event

and pointed out that the city can-1 at the Oregon Shakespearean

have some money to work with, j Directors Angus L. Bowmer,
There was no individual or group ' James Sandoe, and Robert B.
proposing the fund. It was more ', Loper are calling their casts for
of a necessity for the city to es-1 complete run-throughs of the
tablish it," he said.
Jerry Latham, representing
the committee on governmental
operations of the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce point
ed out the off-street parking
fund is part of an over-all pro
gram to help solve the traffic
and parking problem. He noted
"there is nothing the people have
to pay."
"As traffc flow changes,"
Latham said, "so will parking
needs."
Best To Offer
Jones said money derived
from parking meters has been
used to aid the traffic flow prob
lem, which had a greater pri
ority at the time. The off-street
parking plan "now presented is
the best we can offer now," he
said.
Jones wondered what effect
a municipal parking lot would
have on private facilities, but
Goodman said he did not know.
Tony Manno, of Acme Hardware
company asked Goodman what
he would do if someone offered
him "a quarter of a million dol
lars for his property to erect an
office building."
"I have a right to do as I
please," Goodman said.
Manno noted that with mu
nicipal off-street parking, the
lots would remain in that use un
til there would be no further use
for them.
Business License
Latham said the chamber com
mittee did not favor the city re
vising the business license sched
ule without some "kind of a
program worked out first and
presented to businessmen."
He noted the city's expanded
administration, which he termed
"one of the finest groups we
could have," but criticized the
citv for having 'too many spe
cialist to do surveys," when
some of the work could be done
with present administrators.
Manno said the administra
tion "should be 'complimented
on raises for city employees. We
can now keep and attract fine
city employees," he added.
Wages Increased
City employee wages were in-1
creased in the budget an average
of about 5 per cent, with most
of them increasing one range
step on the salary scale, ine in
crease in the police department
was two range steps, and was
felt necessary to compete with
other law enforcement agencies
in other cities.
The council also adopted an j
ordinance adjusting the payroll I
for city employees to the budget,
and one levying taxes for this j
fiscal year.
The tax levies are: general j
fund and library, $304,848; gen
eral bond fund, 855,753; water
bond sinking fund, $41,895; fire
maintenance fund, S93.759; park
plays. Dress rehearsals will start
July 24.
Box Office Sales
William W. Patton, the fes
tival's general manager, reports
that mail orders for tickets and
direct box of'ice sales are run
ning well ahead of last year.
Orders for tickets are up 24 per
cent, while membership sales
show an increase of 17 per cent.

increases in Wages
Offered by Firm
May Settle Strike
Gold Hill The Ideal Cement
company, operators of a chain
of cement plants in the west,
including one here, made offers
of wage increases and other
benefits to its employees Friday,
which may serve as basis for
settlement of a strike affecting
some 16,000 cement workers in
the nation.
News of the offer was receiv
ed by J. Fred Lewis of Gold
Hill, recording secretary of the
United Cement, Lime and Gyp
sum Worker's International Un
ion 136, from Felix Jones, un
ion president.
Includes Increase
The offer includes wage in
creases from 10 to 18 cents per
hour and time and one tenth
for work performed on Sundays.
An offer of vacation increase
to four weeks for men with 30
years service after July 1, 1957
and four weeks for those men
with 25 years service after July
1, 1958 was also made by the
company, as well as other con
tract improvements. The wage

has occurred in any Ideal Ce
ment company plant during the

ment for plants affected by the
strike, according to Lewis.
