Through their attorney, Robert Hannon of Castro Val ley, theysaid in" a letter to Madera County Counsel Roy "There is no legal obligation, on a citizen to pay for by a public agency."

It would bethe first increase in more than 26 years. City Mgr.

Wayne E. Thompson recommends the license raise as well as boosts in other charges for pound services. In one case the raise is designed to put, the proper bite on a few lucky dogs with cnr terprising owners. By claiming their dog bit someone perhaps their own child or the child down the street several vacation-bound owners have had their pet taken in at the pound for a 14-day rabies observation. The fee is $5.

UP TO $17.50 Thompson recommends it be raised to $17.50 to meet the cost of two squares a day and a clean private kennel. Thompson said the raises will bring revenues closer, to the $53,859 it will cost to op-: erate the" pound this fiscal year. Last year the revenue was $40,524. With the new rates it is estimated at $49,150. The rates would apply whether or not the dity con- tinues to operate its own pound or contracts with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals which is under -raOMPSON'SSCALE Thompson's recommendations, with existing and proposed rates are: license, $3, raised to duplicate license, 50 cents, dog sales, $3 minimum would remain the same; 14-day observation, $5, $17.50: redemptions.

HARPER THE GOLD MEDAL BOURBON Letter Not Intended For Board- BERKELEY 4- A missent letter cost the professional re- Nations committee of the Jerkeley Teachers Associa tion a slap on the wrist last night. The Board of Education disassociated itself from a com-mittee statement that a former Berkeley teacher's action was unethical and unprofessional. It started last June when the teacher spoke out against her principal during a board meet ing.

WRONG ADDRESS The professional relations committee wrote to the teach er and in another letter was going to report its action to the superintendent of schools. The second letter, however, was mistakenly sent to the Board of Education and became a matter of public record. The letter c6ntained the "unethical" and "unprofessional" criticisms. OVERRULED I Board member Spurgeon Avakian contended last night that such charges should be made only by the school board and moved last night for the board to disassociate from -the committee's letter to show "we stand up for the teachers' freedom to speak out." Representatives of the Teachers Association and its committee argued that upholding ethics and professional standards of teaching is a function committee; but they were overruled in the subsequent voting.

y.y yi: -X lX' Renewal Eund-Snag Oakland's new blue-ribbon Committee on Municipal Efficiency today is being asked to solve one of the city's most critical fiscal problems how to raise $8 million for three redevelopment projects. The city council yesterday took a dim view of a Redevelopment Agency recommendation that the city's one-third share of the operations be financed through cash outlays instead of bonded indebtedness. And the council instructed City Manager Wayne E. Jhompson to develop proposed methods of financing the projects. Thompson's reo ommendations, in turn, will be submitted to the 27-man Committee on Municipal Efficiency.

Thomas C. Bell, executive director of the redevelopment agency, told the council that cash appropriations of would be needed for six years in addition to a total of $4 million in public works to finance the three projects. Vice-Mayor Felix F. Chialvo observed that the council has always been under the im pression that the projects- Acorn, Oak Center and the Corridor would be financed through so-called tax alloca tion bonds. Thompson declared that the council is committed to re development, but you are also committed unofficially at least not to raise the tax rate any He said that if the $600,000 is to be appropriated each year-r-compensatory savings will have to be found else where.

Bell argued that the cash method would bring the city $600,000 a year for 23 years after the initial six-year, outlay. These funds, obtained through taxes generated, by redeveloped property, could be used to reduce the tax rate or finance other renewal operations. Councilman Harry R. Lange, acting chairman of the efficiency committee, urged Thompson to look into various other methods of financing. iki'l 'X, YOU I v.
