He said "this year's legis lature is examining various budgets with a fine toothed comb. “Even the budgets of depart ments using dedicated funds are being closely examined by the committees" he said. "Ln a session where It is generally agreed that we will have to increase taxes, it is most heartening to see the members of the legislature take a ’look see* attitude. I think this is the result of pressure from the people throughout the State who recognize that gov ernment expenditures have about reached the saturation point," he said. Final Rile» Held For Mr».

Water Supply Not Good at Present Time The 1963 water supply outlook in Willamette Valley during the Apnl-September period is gen erally "fair" with "poor” late season conditions expected in many streams, according to a report released today by T. P. I Helseth, State Conservationist, for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service cooperating with Oregon State University and State En gineer. Snow pack is nearly record low for February L Water content of the mountain snowpack is 16 percent of the average (1943-57) and only one- fifth of the snow at this date last year. It is highly unlikely that re maining winter storms will “make up” the present shortage of snow oover. In fact, the short age is so great that normal snowfall occurring between now and April 1 will increase the total snowpack to only 50 per cent of average. Watershed soils have been well primed by rainfall and will favor runoff from snowmelt at the time of runoff. The six major reservoirs in the Willamette Basin are multi purpose and are operated by the Corps of Army Engineers ac cording to a pre-arranged plan. These reservoirs will begin to fill as spring runoff commences. Streamflow during January was only 9 percent (prelimin ary date from U. S. Geological Survey. Portland, Oregon) of the average on the Middle Fork of the Willamette. The April- September flow is forecast to be 68 percent of the 1943-57 average. The North Santiam should flow 62 percent for the same period, the McKenzie 67 percent, and the Clackamas 70 percent of average. Forecast for the Willamette at Salem is for a runoff of 3,800- 000 acre feet or 70 percent av erage April through September. The above forecasts are, made on the assumption that snowfall between now and April 1 will be normal. Statewide. Oregon’s water supply outlook for the spring and summer months of 1963 is extremely poor except where adequate reservoir facilities can provide stored water. Reser voirs continue to gain storage from recent reavy rains and melting of snow up to elevations of 7000 feet. Snowpack is nearly record low and summer stream flow will be much below aver age resulting in drastic "short ages” for most lands without access to stored water supplies. The next report on snow’ sur veys and water supply condi tions will be issued on March 8, 1963. GAA To Collect For March Of Dimes The GAA girls of Santiam Un ion High school will conduct a delayed March of Dimes pro gram, Thursday, February 13, immediately after school. The original date was cancel led because of bad weather con ditions at the time. The Mill City Lions club is sponsoring the March of Dimes drive campaign again this year, according to Lee Bassett, pre sident. Last Rites For Clyde A. McCauley IDANHA—Services tor Clyde A.

Health Officials To Investigate Hepatitis Case IDANHA—A report of a case of infectious hepatitis here is expected to result in a visit to the area by health officials from Marion and Linn ocunties. Dr. Peter Batten, assistant Marion County health officer, said that no epidemic is expect ed. but a watchful eye will be kept to see that the disease does not spread. William Walter, an employe ot Green Veneer. Inc., at Idanha, was hospitalized at Santiam Memorial hospital in Stayton, where his condition was reported good. Many per sons with whom he has had contact, including other Green Veneer workers were receiv ing gamma gobulin shots, Dr. Batten said. Former Area Resident Dies in Nevada Mill City and Gates friends have received word of the death of William Athey, form er area resident who died last week in Las Vegas. He had been in poor health but his death was caused from complications of the flu. The Atheys moved to Leban on from Gates, later going to Nevada tor his health. Besides his widow, June, he is survived by four daughters. Mrs. Athey’s address is 4330 Hayes Place, Las Vegas, Nev. Firemen Called Out For Small Fire Many residents have been burning briar patches, leaves and rubbish during the warm spring-like days this week. The fire department was cal led to control such a fire that had gotten out of bounds at the Richard Schiewek home on N. E. 5th street shortly after noon Sunday. No damage was re ported.
