City Plans To Stay Within Limitation In Next Budget The city of Medford plain to slay Ik-'iow Uife C per ecu! limitation in its 1960-61 budg et according to the prelimi nary budget prepared by the city administration ana suo mitted to the citizens' budget committee last week. Total estimated budget for next year is $3,117,81)5, com pared to the present year's to tal of $2,522,747. General fund expenditures are esti mated at $898,501 compared to this years 5934,361. The reduced general fund expenditures are attributed to the fact that the Jackson County Housing authority gave the city the $75,000 for the Jackson park swimming pool this year, and will not be forthcoming next year. Total General Fund The total of the general fund which will be obtained from the city's property tax levy next fiscal year is $37.'), B32 compared to this year's $352,766 levy. This increase in levy of $21,166 is the maxi mum increase allowed by the 6 per cent limitation. The rest of the general fund would be made up of licenses and permits, $143,050; fines, forfeitures and penalties, $69, 000: revenue from use of money and property (interest) $13,680; revenue from other agencies (government, state and federal) $54,335; current services (services done by the city for private persons) $32, 250; utilities (airport) $47,191; and other revenue, $98,756. Other property tax levies will be for fire maintenance fund, $111,669; park and swimming pool fund, $27,916; general bond sinking fund, $103,331; water bond sinking fund, $44,088; arterial street bond construction fund, $143, 600; sanitary sewer construc tion fund, $19,000; storm sew er bond construction fund, $47,500; and library fund, $8,000. City Properly Tax All these various levies will add up to a total city property tax levy of $879,036. The current year's properly Made In A Jiffy tax levy was 28 6 mills per rtollnr nf .fwH value City Manager Robert A. Duff has said that the 1960 61 levy might decrease to 27.9 milis, should an estimated $1 million increase in the city's assessed valuation be realized. The total budget of $3,117, 895, includes revenue from other agencies for specified purposes; bonds, assessments and other revenue, which will total an estimated $986,550 during the next fiscal year, compared to this year's $394,- 689, and current city services. Except for the general fund, expenditures from the total budget are pre-designat-ed for such things as the fire maintenance fund, $257,537; state tax street fund, $288, 319; library maintenance fund, $106,904; construction and reserve funds, $750,231; and special assessment funds, $796,721. Day-to-Day Services The general fund is the source of money for the city's day-to-day services, which in eludes salaries and the vari ous departmental budgets. Plans for the next year are to increase each of the some 165 city employees' salaries by $15-$20 a month. A breakdown of the pre liminary general fund budget by expenditure and its com parison to last year's budget is as follows: mayor and coun cil, $4,805, up $605; city court School News 7I F W Sr. Mary's High School "Toss your pennies for the new school!" cried the senior barkers. A booth at the end of the hall, a silver barrel, and the enthusiasm of the stu dents brought the total up to $20, to be used for the new school. According to Dave Hana- walt and Tom Hcrsant, co chairmen, prizes for the stu dents who get the most money down the little hole will be certificates towards the pur chase of a senior slave. 'Pennies for ' the new school" has been a growing idea apiong the students. Be ginning with Mike Austin's de posit of a few pennies under the glass of Sister Shawn Ma rie's desk, the funds were al located to the new school, pro jected for 1960-B1. The seniors developed an independent de sire for saving funds to fill Jim Valentine's shiny barrel. . Penny tossing was but one the greatest possible amount to be given to the pastor, the Rev. Carl Mai, as a token of the student enthusiasm for the building program, and their willingness to do their share In bringing it to a reality. 6.

These figures represent a total decrease in the general fund budget of $35,860. Tbe reason that no money has been allocated from the general fund for the sewage treatment division during the next year, is that the city had decided to increase slightly the sewer charges, which cus tomers pay with their month ly water bills, and provide for the division's entire budg et from this charge. Decrease in Parks The reason for the consid erable decrease in the parks and recreation department's budget is that this year the Jackson park swimming pool was built and this expendi ture is, of course, not being provided for in the 1960-1961 budget. As the pool was paid for wilh the Jackson County Housing authority's donation of $75,000, which will not be forthcoming this year, the two will balance each other out. City Manager Duff has not ed that the 6 per cent limita tion has caused the city to seek other sources of revenue in order to keep up its serv ices to the city of Medford. Additional Source One of these extra sources of revenue is an additional $1 for costs being added onto each fine in city court. This will provide for a court clerk next year, who will handle the increasing paper work in that department. Another source of revenue will be a fee charged by the building department for In spection of plans - a service formerly performed without charge. Some changes may be made in the preliminary budget by the citizens' budget commit tee In its consideration of the budget between now and June 2. Before final approval the budget will go before the city council and a public hearing for consideration. The budget will be printed In full several times before final approval will be given.

Wayne Kreager, industrial economic consult ant, advised the Western Gov ernors Conference that the surge of growth will be pre ceeded by a recession in 1961. Period of Expansion But he said the recession, while boosting the costs of government, will mean a per iod of expansion and new plants construction for many industries which prefer to build in a time of soft mar kets and abundant labor sup ply. He said surveys Indicate the West's population will be 35 million by 1970. Popula tion of the region has grown from IB million to 27 million in the last 20 years. Kreager's address opened the governors' session on eco nomic development with Re publican Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon presiding. Leadership Important The consultant told the 12 governors attending the con ference that their leadership "is the most important factor in stimulating cooperative ef forts." Kreager, who launched Washington state's new De partment of Commerce and Economic Development, urged western states to pool their efforts for the attraction of new industry throughout the region. Washington Gov. Al bert Rosellini Monday called for a western conference of economic development. Fair Major Factor Despite dramatic growth in the West, Kreager said the region cannot become domin- ent in American markets at any foreseeable time in the future.
