SALEM—Cash on hand in the
state treasury shows a decline oi
approximately »7,000,000 in the past
18 months, according to a report by
State Treasurer Walter a Pearson.
From the all-time peak oi $16,-
096,089 reached in May, 1938, de
posits and short term investments
of inactive state funds had dropped
to $9,099,854 on November 10, 1939,
Pearson’s report shows. This heavy
shrinkage in the cash balances in
the treasury are explained by Pear
son as due to huge expenditures for
relief and to the retirement of out
standing bonds.
The state’s bonded debt after
payment of bonds due on October 1,
last, was $38,718,085. Interest paid
to date on state bonds issued since
1917 amounts to $46,667,941.57, or
$8,000,000 in excess of the remaining
indebtedness.

While it yet remains for the su
preme court to speak the final word
Circuit Judge Lewelling this week
probably pointed the way to solu
tion of the controversy over the
1939 tax foreclosure act when he
held the time element in the mea
sure to be directory and not man
datory. County courts have held
up foreclosure suits pending a court
ruling on the act which many fear
ed fixed a specific date on which
the suits must be filed, leaving the
counties no leeway in the matter.
Possibility that the huge area
contained in the so-called Tilla
mook burn in Tillamook, Washing
ton and Clatson counties may be
ultimately converted into a public
reserve was hinted at in discus
sions at the forestry board meeting
here Saturday.
Timbermen ac
quainted with the situation in that
area declared that it would be ex
tremely hazardous to permit of scat
tered settlements throughout the
burned-over district as new growth
begins to spring up. It is understood
that private owners of the land in
the area plan to turn it over to the
counties as soon as they have com
pleted salvage operations now un
der way.

state totalled $15,983,573, according
to reports filed with the commis
sion. This represents an increase of
$1.664,284 over the payroll figures
for October, 1938.
The state forestry board is pre
paring to bring a friendly suit to
test out the validity of its claim for
some 200,000 in delinquent fire pa
trol assessments owing the state by
a number of counties. Just what
county will be used as the defend
ant in the suit has not yet been de
cided. County officials are under
stood to be ready to pay the claim
if and when the court holds it to
be valid.
Budget Director David Eccles is
hopeful of trimming nearly $500,000
from the budgeted expenditures of
state activities during the current
biennium. Offers of co-operation in
his request for a 7& per cent cut
in departmental and institution
budgets received by the director, he
says, give assurance of a saving of
$466,849. Of this amount $353,779
will come out of the budgets of state
institutions.
