mitted to the citizens' budget
committee last week.

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 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.

liminary general fund budget

parison to last year's budget

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

$36,765, up $1,634; airport
$37,307, down $1,054.
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.

ernors were told Tuesday that
only another world war can
halt the greatest growth in
the West's history between
now and 1970.
Dr. H. 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. He pointed out that
the West will have no more
