The Russians want U.S. dollarswhich can be obtained from tourists. Supplies in stores are limited except in dollar stores where the natives cannot trade. Goods are not up to our standards, he said. Housing is in demand. Apartment buildings have com- mon kitchens and toilet facili- ties. A Iack of privacy middle Americans would not put up with, the speaker said. The only farm operations which have resulted in increased pro- duction“ have been those in which the farmer is permitted to oper- ate for himself. In answer to questions, Sena— tor Riley said that property tax relief would in his estimation be one of the main items before the next session of the legisla- ture. The most popular tax seems to be the sales tax which is slightly regressive, he said. Next possibility is the income tax. Aid to cities and towns will be an important item. The last session was very productive, he felt. However, many of the laws the people want passed result in an increase in the costofgovem- ment. The speaker cited the law for inspection of motor vehicles, the amusement ride safety bill, the bill to control unscrupulous trade schools, bonding of packers and upgrading of occupational regula- tions, as bills increasing cost of government. Each one of these laws re— quired inspectors to enforce them at additional expense tothe state. The Rev. Tom Stewart, the Rev. Paul Heath and Roger Rey- hons were guests. Half Way Down in City’s Well A spokesman for Layne-West— ern Co., the city’s well-drilling contractor, said Monday it had passed the half way mark in drilling the city’s new well.

TO BE AT MEETING Members of the League of Women Voters will be present at the monthly meeting of the Southeast Linn Neighborhood at 10 am. next Tuesday in the Presbyterian fellowship hall. They will answer questions about voting. The meeting is open to the public. Home Rule (continued from page one) budget officials appointed by the governor with senate approval, a certified public accountant ap- pointed by the governor and an operations research analyst se— lected by the legislative budget and finance control commitee. According to the home rule act, the city finance committee will “establish guidelines and assist in implementing program-per- formance budgeting and capital improvement plans for cities”, review and comment on the form of proposed budgets of selected cities and conduct studies of mun— icipal revenues and expenditures. The remainder of part two deals with: requirements of the city budget, taxes levied by the county board of supervisors, ef— fective date of the budget, budget protests, separate accounts for programs and items in budget, permitted financial commitments and the annual report. Part six of Division seven deals with the contract letting procedure. The most important part of this section is that it allows cities to spend up to $10,000 for public improvement construction without having to obtain bids for the project. Pre— viously cities could spend only $5,000 without bid letting. Mt. Vernon took immediate advantage of this provision by awarding the parking lot con- struction without asking for bids. The city originally let bids for the parking lot but then made changes in the plans which, under the old law, would have required the city to ask for bids again. The original low bidder was given the contract. The new contract letting pro- cedure also has another import- ant feature in that it redefines who must be awarded the bid in a competitive sluiation. Pre- viously the cm' had to award the bid to the lowest bidder; the new law says “to the lowest respon- sible bidder.” The city council agreed to re- view and adopt more sections of the new home rule act as time Progresses to lessen the "shock of adopting the whole thing" in 1974.
