Raises Salaries Two city employees will benefit fri m the action of the commute , the city marshal had his salary rais ed from 1440 to $1500 and the city recorder from $900 to $1500.

To Change Name According to the Mayor of On tario. Mr. George Aiken, these Is strong sentiment In favor of chang ing the name Owyhee Stampede Days to the Malheur County Fair. Which Mr. Aiken points out is real ly what the event is. Makes Premium Allotment The budget committee cut the 1938 premium money from $1500 to $1200.

For the 1937 exhibits the county donated $1000 intsead of the $1500 called for fh the budget. Schools Offer Big Problem The rapid Increase in the popula tion of the county and the resultant increase in the number cf school students, made the job of the budget committee a strenuous one this year, according to Mr. C. C. Hunt, a member of the committee. The state law makes it mandatory for the ccunty to allot so much per head for each student, said Mr. Hunt, and it is one of the most Important issues confronting the citizens of the county, he continued. Another state law stipulates that a budget cannct be raised beyond six per cent over the preceeding year. And with the valuation of the county having been cut down during the depression years the budget committee found it extremely dif ficult to keep from cutting even worthwhile project of the county, down.
