It will cost tha city $4,570,254.12 to conduct its affairs during- the fis cal year ending- November 30, 1921, according: to the final compilation of figures on the tentative budget which were completed yesterady by Chief Deputy Auditor Grutze. This budget is to be considered for adoption by the council at a public meeting to be held in the council chamber Monday afternoon. City receipts from all sources for the year, it is estimated, will amount to a total of $4,529,741 which will leave $159, 486. 88 to provide for unfor seen emergencies. Budget Is Ltu, The budget to be voted on at Mon day's meeting: is less by over $250,000 than the estimated expenditures of the various city departments for thi year just closing:. In a statement issued Mr. Grutze estimates that -he expenditures of the various depart ments for the .fiscal year ended No vember 30, of this year, will amount to $4,620,958.63. The budget for the coming- year provides for a levy to raise $4,126,060 t take care jt the various expenses. This la slightly larger than the in come from taxes for last year, which aggregated $4,003,871. These figures do not provide for the deductions resulting: from delinquencies and amounting to about 2 per cent. The figures for the tax levy for the com ing year include the extra 3-mill levy reauthorized by the voters at the last election. Three of the biggest items in the budget for the coming year have been cut down so that the figures are below the estimated expenditures for last year. The budget gives ths police department $820,361.25 for the coming year compared to $841,751.57 for the year Just closing. The street-cleaning department is given $288,280 com pared to this year's expenditure of $310,011.65 and the fire department $963,937 compared to an expenditure this year of $981,599.67. Increase Given Parka. On the other hand the bureau of parks is given nearly $40,000 more. The budget provides for giving this department $301,085.40 compared to the estimated expenditures for the past year of $262,668.45. The tax table for the coming year provides for the following levies General fund, $3,432,000; playgrounds and parks, $62,400; firemen's relief and pension fund, $31,200: policemen's relief and pension fund, $31,200; bond ed indebtedness and interest fund $444,460; sinking fund, $124,800. This table, however,-makes no pro vision for delinquencies and in mak ing the table of the estimated city receipts for the. coming year Mrv Grutze subtracts 2 per cent from this! Finance Are Estimated. The available finances of the city for the coming year are estimated as follows: Estimated balance in the general fund November 30, 1920, $20,000; es timated general fund receipts from taxes 1921, $3,363,360; estimated gen eral fund receipts from other sources, including sale of licenses, $436,860 stimated interest fund receipts from taxes 1921. $435,671; estimated sink ing fund receipts from taxes 1921, $61,152; estimated public auditorium fund receipts, $29,342; estimated fire men a renei ana pension fund re ceipts from taxes 1920, $30,576; esti mated policemen's relief and pension fund receipts from taxes 1920, $30, 676. This makes a total of $4,529,741. The .public auditorium has been a drain on the general fund during the past year, largely on account of the necessity of holding a large number of patriotic meetings. It is believed, however, that during the coming year it will pay the operating expenses and provision is made for this in the estimated receipts of the city. Hal "White, manager, reported that a good programme was lined up for the com ing year, which 'indicated that the structure would pay expenses. Detention Home Uncertain. What it will cost the city to oper ate the women's detention home for the coming year is still uncertain, owing to the fact that it Is not cer tain how long the home will continue to be operated by the city. It is be lieved by those who have made a study of the matter that the home has come, to stay and that a great deal of good will be accomplished through its influences. It is declared, however, that it is an institution that should be under state control and the expense of its operation borne by the state. The budget provides for $23, 678.80 for operating this institution for the coming year. The expense for the year just passed amounted to $29,518.50. The following are the figures on the tentative budget for the coming year: L - V 9 - Will; iJpUWvt' L - 5 TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. Columbia George Melford's "Behold My Wife." Liberty "-William S.

The scenes in which the master and valet try to dodge the gang threat ening Carruthers' life are cleverly done. There Is another -actor whom the audience follows with interest a tiny Pomeranian puppy. The unconscious antics of the little animal form some of the most amusing spots in the picture. . - - Completing the Peoples programme are a Mutt-and-Jeff cartoon, a com edy and an outing film showing mountain climbing in Switzerland.

It was under the direction of Lloyd Ingraham with-a cast in cluding such notables as Seena Owen, Louis Bennison. Victor Potel and others. ((mHE POOR SIMP," the present I feature at the Peoples, is a rollicking farce depicting the adventures of a young man who Is practically devoid of brains. His lack of thinking ability leads to all sorts of amusing comedy situations. The plot of the play is rathtTr illog ical, but nobody minds that, for the unlikely theme of the story is a suit able basis for many clevert scenes that are laugh-producers. Owen Moore plays the title role and is supported by a capable cast. The "poor simp" of the picture is' Melville Carruthers, a wealthy young bachelor, who is about to assume the marriage yoke. - He prepares for the proposal to the girl of his choice by careful study of a little booklet that tells how to make love in' ten easy lessons. After much study he at tempts the proposal, but forgets his "lines" at the critical moment. To drown his sorrows he wanders into a slum cafe and gets mixed up in a rattling free-for-all brawl, in which he and a pugnacious gentleman known as "One-Iound" Donnelly clean out the place. Just before the end of the scrap a well-directed blow from a sandbag puts Melville out of the picture. Through a misunderstanding, Mel ville is deserted by his girl and de cides to die This episode is a vehicle for some of the best fun of the show. Friends of the "simp" plan an elab orate frame-up and convince him that his life is In constant danger from a band of professional murderers.

Work to Raise Funds for Farm Home to Go On in All Conn ties Except Multnomah. In order not to conflict with the Red Cross drive, now in progress, the board of directors of the Oregon Woman's Christian Temperance union farm home decided yesterday to post pone the drive in Multnomah county until some later date. This, decision was reached after an extended meet ing at the Portland hotel. Because of the fact that the outside counties are all organized and ready to start the campaign, it was decided to hold the drive In all counties out side of Multnomah county, . starting next Monday morning. The Multnomah county quota of $62,500 will be procured later in the year under a plan now being formu lated, according to announcement by John E. Wheeler, chairman of the state campaign committee.
