01' 0 Lli.Wu BucSgercomsfc for missing plane turned out to vote 504-329 against It. A $6000 city ambulance levy passed, by 484-343 margin. Winters said he had heard predictions the dog control levy would pass by a 4-1 margin, regardless of the fate of tlit resubmitted budget. Dr. David Held, who appeared at the meeting, said much of the opposition to the budget centered on confusion as to pay raises being given, particularly In the police department.

He said many believed those In the higher echelons of the city were getting the lion's share of the wags Increases. Mayor John Eggen contended some of the pay boosts allowed by the budget were due to "longevity raises" In Individual departments and could not be fairly compared. Following an explanation by Police Chief Jesse Adams of the budget requests by his department, which wert up almost $30,000 over last years, Dr. Held aid the requests "should be left as Is," for an "adequate police department" for the city. Added territory as a result of annexation necessarily brought' added duties and the need, for added police personnel; he said.

The police budget Increase Includes $8200 for an additional sergeant on the force, Questioned by committee member Jay Pierce about Increases In the library department budget, City Librarian Martha Svatos said hours worked under the budget would be almost equal to last years. She said part-time help was being hired to replace one of the assistant librarians who resigned last year, but there would "actually be no more personnel than previously." The library budget Is up almost 30 percent this year, but most of the Increase Is due to a "well deserved" raise In salary for the remaining assistant librarian, she asserted. Jim McDanlel, recreation director for Lebanon schools, protested the axing of the $4000 from the original a- mount allotted for Weldwood park. He said the park was given to the city In good faith, with' the "implied under- standing" the city would develop It In "reasonable length of time;" and that It would Indicate the city "speaks with a forked tongue" If it delayed the park's development. Eggen said much leveling and filling work would be dune this year and that the new amount of $1000 "would take care of everything that could be done this year." City Recorder Van Thome estimated at the prevlouti meeting of the committee the amount would be sufficient to carry three Inch lines from the existing water mains at Cedar Drive across South Main Road to the park and to run a one Inch line to Its southwest corner for a water fountain.

Some 13 airplanes and four-wheel drive vehicles of the Santlam 4-Wheel Drive Association conducted the first day's search within a 100 mile range -of the Drownsvlllearea.REACT,acltlEen's band radio group, also has been participating In the search. Todays efforts were tobe concentrated In the Lebanon area. A report that a plane had been seen flying lowly and slowly over a farm five miles southwest of Sclo about the time the missing craft would have been taking off, was to have been checked out today. Heath was flying a white and blue Cessna ISO. Cloud celling at the time of take-off was reported at 1500 feet.

They already had voted the night after the election to delete 14000 from a previous 45000 request for an under-, ground water system at Weldwood Park and to place an allotted $8809 for dog control In a separate levy. The 112,805 reduction In the budget lowers the amount to be voted on to $542,639. A special meeting of the city council will have to be called to set a new voting date, which cannot be until at least 90 days after the council action. Apparently In response to an appeal made for suggestions on how the budget might be put In a presentable form, some $0 people attended the meeting.

"Too much money," seemed to be the general feeling. Dog control, police expenditures, salary raises and personnel Increases appeared to be specific reasons for the feeling. Councilman Robert Adams said at the conclusion of the meeting that if the resubmitted budget also Is defeated, the city should "cut services and cut them hard." Earlier Councilman Lyle Winters had said, "I certainly don't consider this (budget defeat) a mandate from the people, when only one out of four people vote," The first budget was defeated when 24.8 percent of the city electorate fV 1970 Lebanon, Orefon Car snaps pole Senate campaign brings anner's resignation Wednesday, Jhiu 10, Girl gets license, hits pole, cited, all in same day A 16-year-old girl who had received her driver's license Just that day was cited for violation of the basic rule, section two, Monday night after her car went out of control and hit a power pole.

The community by community approach, using zoning advisory committees, offers the best opportunity for obtaining public acceptance of land use planning." Macpherson cautioned against moving rapidly Into the zoning issue at this time. He feels that those opposed to It should have opportunity to "make their case." "They are passing petitions to place the Issue on the fall ballot," he added, "but even If successful and constitutional their ballot measure would not alter what we have been striving for namely, to get a majority of the affected residents supporting the zoning plan rfrn; Maiphersofi commended Dale Morrow' for the "decisive way he has stepped, Into an almost Impossible Job" since the resignation of Gary Holloway.

"With Stephen Hyer's increased responslbllties and the arrival, next month of Bichard Rauber. new County planning directors, the staff should be at the highest level ever." Macpherson also pointed out two areas of staff work which demand Immediate attentionthe development of the federally financed comprehensive plan and Increased planning help to cooperating cities. The retiring charman said the first Is the bottleneck Impeding the flow pf federal funds to other projects and the second major problems has suffered from a shortage of staff. "This help for cities within the county must be expanded If the central planning concept Is to succeed," he added.

He urged the board of commissioners to cooperate with Benton and Lincoln 1 counties In developing a regional approach. "Problems don't stop at county lines," he added. "Funding and staffing on a regional basis should make for administrative efficiency."

Perimeter protects Frontier "A passing motorist might mistake the plant for a small city during the evening hours." This comparison was offered by Kurt George, manager of Commodore Corporation-Frontier Homes Division, after Pacific Power and Light Company installed new perimeter lighting at the assembly plant west of town. Before was summoned to the scene, the property was lighted by six mercury vapor lamps, each rated at 175 -watts, "The original system was Inadequate, especially during the winter' months when darkness occurred at 4:30 pjn. "Now the plant area is as bright as Lebanon's Main Street and that's the way we ordered It." George worked with PPfcL's Walt Goldsmith, Lebanon-based marketing representative, who assisted In the design of the lighting system. A ten fold Increase In Illumination at the plant was accomplished when the project was com- pleted. Goldsmith 1 recommended 1000 watt lights to brighten the perimeter of the lot, two 1000 watt light guards and a 400 watt light guard for concentrated lighting to work ares.

The entire system was Installed as part of leased lighting program. Each light is equipped with a photoelectric cell or electric eye, which automatically tarns on the lumlnalres at dusk and off at dawn. "The light are worry free and dependable," according to George. In addition the lights are the surest protection against prowlers or vandalism, although no after hours pilfering has been experienced at the plant.
