Sewer Hook Ups
To Be Examined
The property of Jacksonville
people on welfare will be ex
amined prior to authorizing
funds for the new sewer hook
up. Public Welfare Administra
tor David Kuhns told his com
mission this morning.
The hookups will involve six
Jacksonville welfare recipients,
he noted. Average frontage as-
i sessment on the sewage system
is $350 with a hookup fee of ap
proximately $200. Since each
: property owner must hire a
plumber to dig the trench and
tile it for the hookup this will
, mean about $600 expenditure per
j recipient, Kuhns said.
i "We should examine the prop
erty to see if it is worth the sew
er assessment," Kuhns said.
County Judge Earl M. Miller
suggested some means be used
to make sure the commission
can recover the sewer money
expended upon death of the wel
fare recipient. The commission
should also determine whether
it wants to pay the sewage
charges on the installment or
; Bancroft plan, he said. This
I must be determined by the first
of October, he pointed out.
j Representatives of t h e state
public welfare commission sug-
' gested the county commission
check with the district attorney
to see if an open mortgage note
could be arranged which would
be payable on demand or when
the recipient should go off the

Outgrowth of Concern
Medford W a t. e r Department
j Manager Robert L. Lee said tn-
growth of the city's increasing
concern for maintaining sani
tary safeguards in its water
shed. "The purity or the Big Butte
springs water has been beyond
question until recent years,"
Lee said, "when the water has
occasionally fallen below U.S.
Public Health standards and has
required some chlorination."
Lee said some chlorination is
now being practiced, although
in almost negligible amounts
when compared with other cit
ies. He said the exact source of
the pollution which is affecting
the purity of the Big Butte
springs water "is not known,"
but is believed to be an "accu
mulative effect of the greater
watershed uses."
Comprises 22. mm Acres
The watershed area comprises
about 22,000 acres ranging in a
northwesterly direction from Mt.
McLouahlin to Bin Butte
I springs, and covering predomi-
nantly U.S. forest service land.
Uses on the watershed land in
clude selective timber harvest
ing, some camping, public
roads, and livestock grazing.
Lee said the agreement will
continue further studies of the
j problem in cooperation with the
forest service, and to "promul
gate and put into effect sanitary
regulations to maintain the qual
ity of the Big Butte springs wa
ter for future generations."

Board of Control
Decision
On Several Jobs
Thornton To Be
Asked for Ruling
SALEM (UPI)-The threat of
defeat of the $60 million tax in
crease measure at the Oct. 15
election dominated activities of
the Board of Control here today.
The board authorized a $3,oi)0
inspection of the state owned
sewer line which serves institu
tions east of Salem, but delayed
a decision on release of $75,250
to repair the line until after the
tax election.
Working drawings for two 25
boy cottages at MacLaren
school for boys were approved,
but further work on the project
was postponed until after the
tax election.
Also delayed until after the
election was purchase of prop
erty on the Capitol Mall ap
praised at $19,250.
To Ask for Ruling
The board said it would ask
the attorney general to deter
mine if the state could allow
the new Moore Business Forms
Building to hook onto a state
sewer line.
The company asked permis
sion for a temporary hookup be
cause septic tanks cannot be
used in the area. The firm
hopes in about two years to
hook up to the South Salem sew
er district which is being organ
ized. Gov. Mark Hatfield, Secre
tary of State Howell Appling
Jr., and Treasurer Howard Bel
ton cautioned that earlier attor
ney general rulings held the
state could not approve such a
lease. They said they would ask
another opinion, based on the
emergency nature of the re
quest, and because it is planned
as a temporary hookup.

Library Services
Cut as Defeat of
Tax Bill Feared
Appling Orders
Additional Savings
SALEM (UPI) - A $122,000
cutback in state library serv
ices was ordered Monday be
cause of the threat of defeat of
the legislature's $600 million tax
increase measure.
Howell Appling Jr., said he has
ordered sivings and cutbacks to
taling $:ioo.ooo.
The library cutback was the
first major agency paring an
nounced in the face of the spe
cial tax election Oct. 15. Voters
then will decide the fate of Ore
gon's $60 million income tax
package.
Librarian Eloise Ebcrt said
up to a $200,000 cutback may be
ordered after the election but
that if the tax measure is not
; defealed lhe cuts woll)d be
stored.
Regardless of Outcome
Appling said $140,600 in econo
mics had been ordered in his
department and that this would
be saved regardless of the out
come of the tax election. He
also said he has ordered post
ponement of about $160,000
worth of budgeted repairs, im
provements, maintenance and
additions to state buildings. The
future of these projects depends
on the outcome of the tax elec
tion, he said.
Among postponed projects are
extension of the library building
elevator from the third to the
fourth floor, repainting of inter
ior woodwork in the library and
new lighting and ceilings in the
stale office building here.
Calls News Conference
Miss Ebcrt, who called a news
conference, said effective next
Monday, the library would "dis-
! continue services to schools,
colleges, universities and to stu
dents taking general extension
courses.
In addition, the library will
discontinue the purchase of all
juvenile and fiction books. Mail
reference services on gcneology
pertaining to non-Oregon anecs
tory also will be discontinued,
she said.
Miss Ebcrt said the library
would not fill three existing cler
ical vacancies, and that three
student workers usually hired to
handle the increased fall work
load would not be employed.
She said the action was or-
dered by the State Library
I board, which met Friday at La
Grande.
In Line Willi Cut
j The action "was taken by the
hn.'irrl fiillnwini' n liwt ivn lv.
SI10tf by tc governor's office to
hring expenditures in line with
an anticipated general fund cut
of II per cent." she said.
The library's 1963-65 general
fund appropriation was about
$877,000.
She said the directive was dat
ed Sept. 9, and that Monday she
received a directive dated Sept.
i:i ordering plans for a possible
25 per cent cutback.
She said the 25 per cent fig
ure would necessitate an addi
tional $76,000 cutback, and indi
cated if such a cut were made
it would be achieved through
layoffs of personnel.

praisal of the situation given

Jackson county and Rep. Sidney
Bazett of Josephine county.
Each stated that there arc al
ternatives. Could Go Back to Work
"I think the legislature should
go back to work if the referen
dum fails," Senator Ncwbry
stated. "Don't push the panic
button. If we do take $60 mil
lion out of the basic school sup
port we are going (o hurt a lot
of people badly. Welfare recip
ients are already living on stan
dards 10 years old. This budget
doesn't have any fnt in it."
Ncwbry concluded. "I think the
legislature could pass an in
come tax law which would raise
S:i0 n'Hion "
Ncwbry l 'id this would meet
with more favor if a sales tax
law could be referred at the
May Primary.
Representative Bazett came
nut for a sales tax as the solu
tion without hesitation.
"I think we could use a sales
