Salem - WPD - Oregonians
arc going to have to wait a
while longer for state income
tax refunds this year, Tax
Commissioner Fred Hoefke
said Saturday.
Hoefke told the House Tax
committee that the new tax
commission policy is to audit
refund claims before the re
fund is mailed.
In past years the refund
claimed by the taxpayers was
mailed soon after the return
was received, and the return
was audited later, "perhaps
months later," Hoefke said.
Under the old system the
tax commission then had to
bill the taxpayer for return
of any overpayment of the re
fund
Richard Eymann (D-Marcola)
asked if the new policy riid
not have the effect of paying agency
1962 refunds out of the 1863
65 biennium budget, and thus
help avoid a deficit in this
biennium.
Hoefke laughed and said
"Yes, it will have that effect."

Three File For
District 6C Board
Central Point - Three men
have filed for membership on
the school board of District
6C.
They are Frank Armstrong,
Charles L. Ghelardi and J. W.
Fitzgerald. Armstrong and
Ghelardi are seeking a three
year position vacated with the
resignation of Dr. Alvin Rob
erts. Ghelardi was appointed
to fill the term until the an
nual election.
Fitzgerald, who also is ;
board member, seeks a five
year term in the May 6 elec
tion.
During the annual clean-up
various phases of construction
and repair will be undertak
en, a major job being the T.in
ing of the 700 feet a ro stave
flume and the replacement
of portions of the flume's sup
porting members. In addition
it is anticipated that several
portions of the canal will have
concrete lining installed.
All construction and repair
work planned, will, upon com
pletion, reduce loss of water
from the canal and provide a
wider margin of safely for the
canal's operation, district of
ficials said.
Storms of the last two
weeks have increased opti
mism as to the amount of wa
ter that will be available dur
ing the 1963 irrigation season.
Present indications are for
a normal water year, based
on the past 10 years. How
ever, the lack of further
storms and an early hot spell
could reduce the late season
supply to near record lows.
But the week was not a to

Civil defense is another
matter. The subject of more
charges, counter-charges, an

other issue this session, there
is a possibility it could be
