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. Test runs have been run during
the past week. The new press will now be
used on a regular basis. (See other pictures
on page 8.)
county may borrow money
from this but it must be paid
back. 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.)

Girls, Floats, Ancient Cars,
Bands Highlight Elks Parade
High - stepping, bare-legged
beauties led a mile long pa
rade through the streets of
downtown- Medford Saturday
afternoon as a high spot of
the Oregon State Elks associa
tion convention here.
Girls, girls and more girls
were well interspersed in the
long column of marching
bands, drill teams, ancient
model cars, long, sleek Cadil
lacs, Dixieland bands and
novelty floats. It even had a
red-nosed clown to toss candy
to the youngsters who either
held their parents' hands
along the crowd-lined streets
or perched on dad's shoulders
or car tops.
The weatherman had cau
tioned possible rain, but the
prediction proved wrong. It
was a s u 1 1 r y 77 degrees,
which brought a rosy glow to
the faces of the pretty march
ing girls. The Salvation Army
was on the spot, bringing up
the rear with its disaster
truck equipped with stretch
ers . for possible heat-wilted
marchers.
Forming the leading color
guard were two husky Mar
ines flanked by two Air
Force men. Following the
color guard was the Medford
Elks lodge's exalted ruler
Joe Hosick, riding in a replica
of a 1902 Rambler.
The Medford High school
band, dressed in maroon and
white uniforms, followed,
playing "I Love a Parade."
Every Elks lodge in the
state seemed to be represent
ed. Those who had been paint
ing the town the night before
took time out to paint large
signs on white butcher paper
and hastily drape them over
the sides of new model cars.
The Old Timers Car club
transported Elk notables in
their ancient vehicles.
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. A small sports car
transporting yet another unit
of the lengthy parade whirred
up alongside a tall, burly
"Scotsman" of the Kilty band.
