Budgets To Be Submitted Soon.
The budgets of the various mem
bers of the city commission will be
submitted as soon after July 1 as pos
absolute limit, Stevens asserted this
morning.
There has been considerable delay
this year in the preparation of the
budgets, because of joint paving prof.
ects with the county, and several paw
ing and sewer projects which came in
late.
The city valuation will be higher
this year than last, Commissioners
Stevens believes, on account of the
vast amount of building which has
been 'done,a especially in the south
western portion of the city.
That may operate to keep the levy
from being raised much, but it won t
affect the actual amount of money
which we shall have to raise, and
which is necessary to run the city"
Stevens said.
The budgets and estimates are not
far enough advanced as yet to make
anything more than a vague guess at
what the tax rate will be next year,
but IT don't see any chance of any
thing but higher taxes for the city,

PROVES CHAPTER
Of ACCIDENTS

On April Mr.. and Mrs. Al.
Adams left their home in Lady
smith. Wisconsin, for a tour OF the
western states. They decided to
take the southern route and the
accounts OF the trouble they have
had between there and Salem
would fill book. BY the time
they had gotten as far as Arizona,
MRS. Adams decided that she had
had enough Of camping and
strongly suggested returning. Mr..
Adams didn't want to try the roads
again SO they kept on going west.
They stopped in sunny California
and IN about two days decided
that It was too sunny for them.
Lest evening they registered at
the Salem auto park.
According to Mrs. Adams their
trouble began before they were
even out Of their home state. She
says that in the spring the roads
are terribly muddy and they had
10 be pulled out Of mud holes
eleven times. Then MS soon as they
hit the national highway, which
took them through Arizona. New
Mexico and Arkansas, they found
the roads SO bad that the four new
tires they started with were ALL
cut up and they had to buy new
tires.
The most exciting part OF the
trip came when they were cross
Ing the mountains. On one Of the
pulls. about three miles Of such /
steep grade that low gear had to
be used all the time. the lining on
the low gear burned out and there
