The old Morrison-street bridge that served the people of Portland so many years and which was purchased by A. J. West and reconstructed over the Chehalis River, where it is now serving as a toll bridge, is causing a commotion among the Councilmen. A year ago the steamer Norwood collided with a span of the structure and ,it went into the river. There is a suit still pending for damages. The Coun cil, when it granted the franchise to Mr. West, failed lo insert a clause giving free transportation across the bridge to city officials, and Mr. West will not recognize them and they must pay toll. The Mayor and Council are up in arms and threaten to build an other bridge or make a traffic ar rangement with the Union Pacific Com pany when it builds its proposed bridge across the same river. Mr. West, however, will stick to his determination to refuse transportation, knowing that the city is unable to build a bridge at the present time and the time when the Union Pacific will start is extreme ly remote.

Superintendent of the Public Schools, will take a post-graduate course during the coming year at Colum bia College. New York. Superintendent Cook has been in charge of the Aberdeen ecbools for three years. if added to the city taxes, which' were collected this year, would have made them between one-third and one-half higher. The taxpayer who paid to the city this year, say $12, would have paid between $4 and J6 more if the charter amendments had been in force. Had a 50-year sinking" fund tet- provided for. the Increase would hav been J4, and had there been a -5-year sinking fund, the Increase would have been $6. The extra levy would have been about 2 mills over the. levy of 4.B mills. Burden Put on Property. The big tax increase will come from interest and sinking fund for the J3.000.000 bonded debt, authorized for the new pipeline from Bull Run. Not water consumers will bear this ex pense, as they do in most other cities, and as they have done in Portland, but property-owners. The law says: "The said bonds and interest are to be paid from taxes to be assessed, levied and collected upon all real and personal property in the City of Portland not exempt from taxation." The Interest on these bonds at 4 per cent will amount to $120,000 a year an nually; 150.000 additional which , the city will be required to pay to the water fund for fire . protection, will raise that sum for taxpayers to $170,000; and $60,000 a year more for redemption of the bonds in 50 years will raise the figure to $230,000 a year. It is probable, however, that there will be a demand for redemption in 25 years, since the pipeline will hardly last for a longer period than that. Raise Levy to $290,000. If it should succeed, the sinking fund tax would be $120,000 a year, which would raise the total to be levied from taxpayers for the water-pipe, to $290,000. This year -ae total city taxes collected . from . property-owners amounted to $9S0,000. The $290,000 ad dition, therefore, would have increased this year's city tax burden nearly 30' per cent, the other city expenditures would have raised the increase to 47 per cent. Before the water bonds shall be sold an effort will be made in the city elec tion next June to change the amend ment, so as to charge this burden up to water-consumers, instead of to tax payers. Only a little more than 10 months intervene until the next fcity election. This will probably not be a long enough period to sell the bonds since the engineering project must first be prepared, specifications and esti mates made and bids advertised for. Besides, in case of a determined ef fort to change the amendment, there could be injunctions on one claim or another. As the amendment carried by only 400 votes in the last city election, the opponents of the tax feature think they can make a successful fight next time. How Taxes Would Increase. The following statement gives an idea of the heavy tax increase that will follow the new amendments: Annual Tax Annual Tax for for Interest. Sinking Fund. Bull Run pipe. .$120,000 $120,000 Fire Dept '30.000 Parks -40.000 40.000 Docks JO. 000 Z'V.nno Bridge 18.0OO 1S.0O0 Fire mains 11.000 11,000 Totals 25B.O0O ' $209,000 Annua! total tor Interest and Sink ing Fund $468,000 Same total for redemption of bonds In 30 years $363,500 Total taxes collected fcr Portland - city government in 10O8 $P90.0O0 (Annual payment by city to water de partment for fire protection.) The increased' tax this year would have amounted to 47 per cent, in case lot bond redemption in 25 years, and 36 per cent in case of bond redemption in 50 years. Esch of the new debts is to consist of 25-year 4 per cent bonds, in denom inations of $5000 or $1000. The amend ments make no provision for sinking funds. The maximum expenditures are to be as follows: Pipe from Bull Run .$3,OOO.onO New parks l.OOO.OOO Municipal docks 500,000 Madison bridge 4-V1.0O0 Fire mains 275,000 Total ...$3,225,000 EDITORS GO UP COLUMBIA (Continued from First Page.) torial strength is said to be strong in the larger cities of the state.
