I - it$ ill Hearing on County Budget Set June 21 A public hearing on Jack son county s approximately $4 IS million budget will be held at 8 p.m. June 21 in the Jackson county courthouse. There will be no levy for Jackson county for the new fiscal year, the county court announced. Estimated budget expenditures for 1960-61 total $4,427,586.72. Added to this figure is a cash working allocation fund of $201,528.07. The working fund of 10 per cent of the budget total was recommend ed by George E. Stacey, audi tor, member of a local ac counting firm. This cash re serve which started this cur rent fiscal year will continue to build up until it reaches the 10 per cent figure. The Confusion Caused By Non-Partisan Ballots - Madden Apparently some members of election boards in Jackson county became confused and did not issue non-partisan bal lots to every voter during the May 20 primary election, County Clerk Marvin Madden reported Friday. Since' a number of people were denied the right to vote on all candidates because of this mixup, Madden said he has referred the question of what to do next to the district attorney's office. "Apparently, some election board members were confused over the term 'independent' voters those registered as neither Democratic or Repub lican - and the term 'non-partisan' as applying to the jus tice of peace positions," the county clerk said. "Ballots containing the names of nonpartisan- candidates for Gold Hill and Ashland justices of peace at some polling places were handed only to Indepen dent voters." Possible Challenge Madden said either party could challenge the election, or the district attorney's of fice may decide merely to place the justice of peace can didates on the ballot during the November general elec tion. "Because several boards did not issue non-partisan ballots to every voter appearing at the polls in their precinct, this may affect the validity of the election for justices -of the peace in both the Ashland and Gold Hill districts," Madden said in his written statement. "I have written the district attorney to ascertain whether the election for justices of the peace was legal or not and whether losing candidates will have recourse to have this matter placed before the vot ers again," he concluded. full issue.

It would cover the period from July 1 to Dec. 31 when no timber receipts or allocations from state tax monies are coming in. Available cash estimated to be in the county treasury to start with on July 1, I960 is $1,291,852.52, according to the accountants figures. County Treasurer Karl Janouch said he expects $70,000 of the cur rent fiscal year budget will be unspent by the end of the fiscal year June 30. This is included in the estimate of the available cash. Already in the cash working fund is $90,000 to be added to the allocation for the new year. County Judge Earl Miller previously had stated that a balance of $86,557.98 in the county relief fund would not be needed by the county this year. The relief money, received by the county as its share of the alcohol tax and license fees and amusement device tax is expected to increase by an estimated $3,000 during the 1960-61 fiscal year. The fund has not been touched since July, 1958, when the county budget com mittee transferred $30,000 to the general fund at budget time for expenditure through tne general county fund for relief. Total as of Friday was 5H6.5a7.H8. Miller explained that the fund is set up by Oregon statute to be "expended only by the county court or board of county commissioners for mother's aid, old age pensions ana direct relief of the in digent." Miller said "ample" funds were available this year from other county receipts to take care of anticipated welfare costs of an estimated $226,531 ana the $50,000 budget for miscellaneous relief, mainly for hospitals (The hospitals had requested $85,000 for the new fiscal year to offset in digent patient losses.)

The wail of bagpipes from Ashland's Elk lodge Kilty band shrilled above the "Oompah-pah-pah" of the big horns and thump of the drums.
