A. Barr. supervisor, in a bulletin mailed to taxpayers of the county recently. Barr also stated, "It appears to me the property taxes have just bout reached the saturation point. In reviewing the tax picture for the past year, Barr contrasted the per capita figures for U30 against those of 1958. In 1930." he wrote, "the per capita tax for California was $78, and for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1958, it was $705.71. Of this amount, the U.S. government took $447.55, the state of California $147.40, and local governments SI 10.76. Tax on property of all Kinds in Siskiyou County," Barr continued. "totalled $83.82 per capita. Barr stated, "Our county is go- imr to be visited yearly with a great number of recreationists. It is fig ured thev spend about $20 per day averaee. Taxable items would urobablv be about halt that rooms and groceries do not come wilhin the scone of the state three ner cent tax. Thus a person spend ing $20 a day would have about ten cents added to ins oay s vaca tion expenses. Listing the amount of revenue that a one oer cent sales tax could be expected to bring into the county. Barr estimated the figure at $403,000. Of this amount, he stated, $137,600 would go to the uroan areas. Yreka would get $139,275, he es timated. For other areas, Barr speculated such a sales tax would mean $43,200 to Dtinsmuir; $35,450 to Mount Shasta. $20,775 lo Tule lake. $10,825 to Fort -Jones, S5.975 to Montague and $4,425 to Etna. These figures, Barr said, "were prepared by the Division of Re search and Statistics, were issued by the' state board of equaliza tion and represented studies for the fiscal year which ended June 30. 1958. In concluding his argument for the one per cent sales tax, Barr, supervisor of District 2, empha sized that 4S California counties now have the sales tax. 'Many persons recommend to me that we adopt it here," Barr said, "some are opposed, some in different, perhaps the way to de termine what is wanted would be to put it to a referendum. One thing is certain, he said. 'we are going to have more rev enue if present services are to be kept up under the steadily rising costs of labor, equipment and ma tcrial."

Most ser vice was restored quickly, but some of the downtown area waa darkened late into the night. BAKER, Ore. fAP A savane! fire exploded Monday night in (he1 heart of Baker's downtown busi ness district. The fire detroved a two-sltny building and made a charred hull of the city's First National Bank building. Fire Chief Hubert Damon in itially estimated damage at $750,- 000. Later, he revised it down ward to tJUfl.Ooo. but then said it might take days to assess the loss fully. The flames destroyed a two- story building that hmied the, Levinger Drug Store, the Moose; Lodge and a number of other ot fices. 1 Then the flames swept next; door into the two-story bank building. rire and water destroyed stocks: valued at $35,000 in a book dis-j tributing firm on the second floor of the bank building. Then the lire began eating through the roof into the bank it self. As firemen pumped streams of water into the bank, a portion of its roof collapsed. There were no injuries, but two firemen barely escaped when a fire wall collapsed at the height of the blaze. The chief said it was Bakers worst fire since flames destroyed every building in the same block in a 1914 blaze. Seventy-five men fought the blaze, and tire engines dashed to Baker, from as far away as L,a Grande, 43 miles from here. Damon said the bank building was valued at about $750,000. But none of Ihc money in the hank was destroyed. Bank offiei-: als said their vaults were tire- proof. The flames spread quickly they had no chance to evacuate any money or records. It was not learned at once if any records were destroyed. Firemen said the blaze was dis covered when a messenger hoy went into the basement of the drug store. A column of smoke boiled up the stairs. Five nersons in Ihc store fled. and within moments the flames ate through the building. Thev burst through the root with a tremendous roar, shooting fully ISO feet into the air. On the other side of the drug store, there was heavy smoke damage to a furniture store, an Baker lj insurance office and the State Bank. Henry Levinger, the drug store's owner, said his stock was valued at about $200,000, He said it was the biggest drug store in this Kastern Oregon area. Levinger said he was unable to pinpoint the cause of the blaze, but said trash had been burned earlier in the day in an inciner ator in the building's basement.
