Oregon Cities Officials
Hold Meet
By FLOYD WYNNE
Problems and accomplishments
of cities in Klamath and Lake
counties were given an airing by
a gathering of more than 50 of
ficials from six cities, meeting
with officials of the League of
Oregon Cities at the Wlncma
Tuesday night.
League officials present for the
dinner meet discussion were May
or John Snider, Medford, presi
dent of the league; Herman Kehr
li, executive secretary of Hie
league, and Dick Ryan, field and
legislative consultant of the
league.
Mayors, councilman, recorders
and other city officials were pros
ent from Lakevicw, Merrill,. Ma-
lin, Chiloquin and Bonanza, in ad
dition to Klamath Falls.
Snider opened the program by
summarizing the work of the
league, outlining the services it
makes available lo its member
cities, such as police training pro
grams, a special ordinance codi
fication system, and a league
health insurance program.
Ryan followed, detailing figures
to show that 57 per cent of Ore
gon's population reside in cities.
He indicated that census officials
see a 50 per cent population in
crease in Ihe slate in the next
10 years.
In reviewing lhe financing of
cily government, Ryan said 45
per cent of the city's budget is
obtained from property taxes, an
other 28 per cent from charges
and fees, and a small portion
from stale funds.
He scored a local sales lax as
being impracticable and highly
restrictive.
Inventory Tax
Kebrli singled out the inventory
tax as being a tax that should
be changed, and called on Slate
Senator Harry Boivin lo explain
the thinking of the Legislature's
interim committee on taxation.
Boivin told the group he had
voted against the bill to abolish
the inventory tax because there
was no adequate substitute for
the revenue thus lost by cities
and counties.
"I believe lhe inventory lax is
unfair," he said, "But so also is
lhe property lax, and perhaps
most unfair is the income lax.
