Appearing at the same meeting were two opponents of sales tax proposals. Joe Spcnner, a farm laborer from Stayton and C. H. Brooks, Oregon State Grange, voiced opposition. The attitude of tax commit tee members indicated they did not favor any sales tax program. After Tuesday night's hear ing, Committee Chairman Richard Eymann ( D Marcola) announced another public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday. Eymann laid at that meet ing committee members will be asked to Indicate the type of plan they favor to raise needed revenues. He said the committee would then concen trate on that area.
