MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdferd, Oregen, Sunday, December 7, 1938 7 Duff Discusses Coming Election, Assessment Plan (Continued from Pag 1) Actually, the downtown parking district i guaran teeing the payments by an nual assessments for property in the parking district, but the measure will still carry the full faith and credit of the city. During 1957, parking meter revenues in certain areas rose by increasing the hours of me ter time and by increasing the meter rate on selected me ters. This action increased parKing meter revenue ap-. proximately $15,000 annual ly, which will almost equal the 25 per cent of parking me ter monies mentioned in the proposed amendment. No in crease in the tax levy is con templated. Public Hearing No bonds may be sold un til after the parking district is established following pub lic hearings. even : the boss I j won't know You're at your best in any sit uation with Sonotone's latest a slim-trim eyeglass hearing aid.

Jackson Phone SP 2-5904 Reference has been made to a $50,000 item in the 1957-58 budget for off-street parking. This was an amount estab lished in the budget to be off set by anticipated additional revenue of an equal amount. However, only a small por tion of the anticipated reven ue was received, and this was placed into the general fund. No expenditures for off-street parking were made in the 1957-58 budget. Matter Of Opinion A question has been posed as to the need of holding the special election prior to the formation of the downtown as sessment district. This is pure ly a matter of opinion. The City Council is of the pin ion that the prior approval of the Charter Amendment by the general electorate is both prudent and necessary. With out voter approval the mech anics of establishing the dis trict and other costly legal procedures would be waste ful. These are the facts in the matter. Further action is up to the voters at the polls, Wed nesday, December 10. Voter approval is necessary if the balance of the capital im provement program is to be carried out. Head of Cattlemen Warns of Evils In Wilderness Bill Santa Rosa, Calif. -(DPI)- The president of the American Na tional Cattlemen's association said yesterday that any law to preserve wilderness play- grounds must recognize the needs of all citizens rather than just those of a few sportsmen. G. R. Milburn, Grassrange, Mont., told the 42nd annual convention of the California Cattlemen's association that the public "will not allow big areas of the West to be segre gated permanently if it fully understands the provisions in the so-called Wilderness Pres ervation bill now under con gressional consideration. Milburn charged that con servationists are trying . to "ram through a bill to deny use of millions of acres for any purpose except for recre ation afoot or horseback. "As a matter of practical conservation, protection must be given our public lands -as stockmen realize so well," he said. "But any law that would seal off huge areas from development of any kind is as wrong as no protection at all." Oregon Sheriffs Favor Increasing Auto License Fee - Portland -UPD- The Oregon State Sheriff's association went on record yesterday wits a proposal to add $1 a year to the motor vehicle li cense fee. The added cost is proposed to finance sheriff's patrols on roads not covered by state police. The proposal was presented by Sen. Carl Francis, Yam hill county, who said he would introduce appropriate legislation at the 1959 Legis lature. Bill For Bureau Also approved was a plan introduced by Francis to re submit a bill passed by the 1957 Legislature and vetoed by Gov. Robert D. Holmes for establishment of a central criminal identification bureau under the state police. The sheriff's approved a res olution introduced by Sheriff Edward W. Elder of Lane county to suDDort a work-re lease type legislation for all county prisoners. Regular Jobs The resolution. atroroved bv a 10-4 vote, would allow pris oners to attend regular jobs and return within the sheriffs discretion. The resolution noted that "welfare Tolls in most coun ties are burdened with famil ies of jail inmates." PRIVILEGED SANCTUARY Montgomery, Ala.-(UPD-Four cows bound for the stock yards leaped from a truck and hid in the First Presby terian church. Ike May Ask Increased Taxes New York-(DPB-The admin istration's top budget official hinted yesterday that Presi dent Eisenhower may ask for higher taxes if the new Con gress thwarts his efforts to hold down federal spending. Budget Director Maurice H. Stans said the President will send the heavily-Democratic new Congress a budget for fiscal year 1960 as tight as the law allows. Then, Stans said, the choice is up to the American people. If they demand-and Congress votes-more spending than tax revenues can cover, thereby unbalancing the budget, "the government should spell out what new taxes must be raised." In a speech prepared for Dean's Day ceremonies at New York university, Stans said "it is time for realism in government finances-in the federal budget." Couple Charged With Stealing Papers in Salem Salem -(UPD-Thefts of bun dles of Capital Journal and Oregon Statesman newspapers here has led to the arrest of a Salem couple on larceny charges.
