Howard Sues
County Over
Back Salary
Frank Z. Howard, Klamath
county surveyor, has placed a
damage luit against the county
for approximately $9000 which
ho sayi is due him for salary
as surveyor between July 23,
1942, and June, 30, 1945.
The question Involved con
cerns an interpretation of the
constitutional provision which
in Oregon sets up the office of
surveyor in each county and
provides for his salary.
The constitution provides for
a surveyor who, in counties of
between 39,000 and 45,000 pop
ulation, shall receive as salary
$10 a day "while actually and
necessarily engaged in perform
ing the duties" of the office,
nlus five cents a mile for travel.
to be paid by the county or
the private party requiring the
work done.
. Howard maintains that he
keeps his office in the court
house basement open every day
and should be paid for the time
he spends in the office as well
as the time spent outside the
office on county business. That
time, he says, has been spent in
keeping indexes, records and
surveys required of his office.
County Court Disagrees
The county court's contention
is that he is paid for the work
he does at the request of the
county and not for the time he
is not actually engaged in spe
cific work for the county.
Appended to Howard's com
plaint and making it a book
length legal document, are 73
pages of records of his daily
work, noted as "Exhibit A,"
from July 23, 1942 to June 15,
1945. He complains that he
has received no salary during
that time.
The work records have divid
ed his endeavors into three
categories: "specific jobs" for
county; "private work"; and
"routine work for county." It is
the latter which is under scrut
iny in this case.
Howard contends that he is
due S1370 for 137 days of work
in 1942, $3030 for 303 days in
1943, $3060 for 306 days in
1944 and $1500 for 150 days
in 1945 prior to June 15, a
total of $8960, plus $195 inter
est. Time Record Kept
The record shows a notation
of how his time was spent for
every day during that time, con
taining such notations as "office
open eight hours, one hour
spent on specific work, . two
hours spent on private work.
five hours spent on routine
work."
R. B. Maxwell is attorney
for Howard in his suit against
the county, and Clarence A.
Humble will represent the
county. This is the second suit
. of this type which Howard has
Drougni against xne county, we
other two or three years ago
which the county won.

House Refuses
To Slash Loan
WASHINGTON, July 13 (D
The house refused today by a
voice vote to reduce the pro
posed loan to Britain from $3,
750,000,000 to $1,250,000,000.
. Immediately thereafter, the
members also rejected, by a 168
to 112 standing vote, an amend
ment to require collateral for
funds granted.
Defeat of the proposals rep
resented another smashing vic
tory for the administration. Ear
lier1, the house defeated, 180 to
19, a motion by Rep. Celler (D
NY) to kill the loan ratification
bill.
The amendment to slash the
proposed grant was by Rep.
Bender (R-Ohio). It received only
a scattering of votes, and only a
few members spoke On it
The collateral proposal, by
nep. uirKsen (K-iii), was debat
ed vigorously for nearly two
hours, and was one of the key
offerings of loan opponents.
uirKsen asserted mat tne only
sensible way to lend money is
to demand security for it.
The house defeated his amend
ment however, after loan sup
porters declared its approval
would wreck the entire financial
agreement with Britain.
Dam Sites Approval
Voiced By Engineer
PORTLAND, Ore.,- July 13
CP) Brig. Gen. Roscoe C. Craw
ford, assistant chief of the army
engineers, declared today that
both the Foster creek and The
Dalles dam sites were "fine."
Crawford described the Fos
ter creek site as valuable for a
power dam, and the latter for a
combination navigation and
power development. He arrived
here last night after visiting
both sites.
Farm Funds
Alloted For
Fiscal Year
Farm security funds for all
programs in Klamath county
were appropriated for the new
fiscal year which began July 1,
Harry E. Clark, county FSA su
pervisor, was advised this week.
Although funds for five-year
operating goods loans and 40
year farm ownership are about
the same as those budgeted last
year, money for small water fa
cility loans was substantially in
creased. Every effort will be made to
clear as soon as possible all vet
eran and farmer applications and
supplemental loans to FSA bor
rowers carried over into July.
Clark went on to say that they
are prepared to process all new
applications for water facility,
group service, operating goods,
or farm ownership loans. The
county FSA committee, made up
of John P. Kerns, John A. Short,
Elmer K. Smith. Clifford C. Jen-
kins and H. Earl Hamakcr, will i
meet as often as is necessary to
review auulicants and loans.

the county and is unable to se
cure sufficient credit from usual
sources, explained Clark. Farm
ers' needs are expected to center
largely around replacement of
worn-out machinery and farm
improvements delayed by the
war. A heavy demand is expect
ed for small water facilities for
farmstead water, pasture irriga
tion and improvement or repair
of present water systems.
Farm and home plans worked
out with FSA borrowers for the
coming year will stress placing
each farm on a sound and profit
able basis to weather unfavor
able postwar price trends, said
Clark. Diversified croo and live
stock programs, a minimum of
speculative cash crops and the
raising of most of the family
iood supply on the farm are be
ing urged.

ath county courthouse Monday

Rent Curbs
Considered
At Portland
PORTLAND, July 13 m The
mayor's recommendation that
Portland consider establishing
local rent control before August
1 the date on which rent In
creases would go into effect
was before thecily council today.
Mayor Earl Riley asked the
council to consider both the ten
ants' proposal, of continuing
OPA ceilings, and the Inndlonls'
suggestion of establishing a fair
rental bureau which would act
against individually reported
"excessive rent" cases.
Five hundred Portlnnders
turned out to a. "buyers strike
rally" last niiiht and voted to ask
Oregon congressmen to buck
price control. Speakers, predict
ing high price increases should
OPA be permanently discarded,
urged local price ceilings if fed
eral action fails. State Budget
Director George K. Aiken suid
Governor Snell was investigat
ing possible price control.
Robert Canon, chairman of the
American veterans' committee,
told the audience every house
which raises rents unfairly will
be picketed. His committee ex
tended its picket lines yesterday
from the downtown market to a
residence where the tunant com
plained of a rent increase from
$16 to $35 a month.
The price of butter dropped in
several Portland stores to 73 and
76 cents, apparently pulled
down by falling demand. The
Independent Retail Grocers asso
ciation began polling its 1200
members on whether they wunt
OPA renewed.
Price Of Newsprint
Raised $6.80 A Ton
PORTLAND, Ore., July 13
W) A newsprint price of
$73.80 a ton throughout the na
tion to equalize U. S. prices
with Canada was indicated to
day.
Crown-Zellcrbach and Haw
ley Pulp and Paper company,
important newsprint manufac
turers, boosted their prices
$6.80 a ton to the $73.80 figure.
John H. Smith, Hawley presi
dent said he understood all this
country's newsprint producers
were taxing similar action
Canadian manufacturers an
nounced at Montreal yesterday
that they were raising prices as
a result of the devaluation of
the Canadian dollar.
