A public hearing on the
proposed Jackson county
budget will be held at 8 p.m.
Tuesday in the Jackson coun
ty courthouse.
Total for the new fiscal
year starting July 1 as pro
posed is $4,427,586.72. This

of $3,642,889.16, according to
Karl Janouch, county treas
urer. In the proposed budget,
contributions to other taxing

rise In operating expenses of
the various county depart,
mcnts.

contributed to other taxing
units, according to present
budget proposals for the new
fiscal year. The other taxing
units include schools, librar
ies, civil defense and histor

schools," the county treasurer
explained.
"The county does not now
have a tax base but operates
from its share of the timber
receipts from O and C lands,"

For Local Company
The Medford city council

franchise for the City Sani

In exchange for the fran

Mayor John W. Snider has
10 days in which he can veto
the council's action if he de

last night's meeting, and said
he would take the matter un

the council to override a veto
by the mayor.
The vote on the exclusive
franchise was 5 to 3 in favor.
Three councilmcn opposed
the franchise on the grounds
that it should not be exclu
