ing held Tuesday.
The taxpayers of the North Myrtle
road district held a meeting some
time ago and levied a 2 M -mill tax.
A movement has been started to
divide the Myrtle Creek road dis
trict. The residents of the north end
of tho road are petitioning the coun
ty court to grant them a separate
district.
By a vote of 8 to 7, the question
of levying a road tax In this road dis
trict was turned down Monday. No

lawsuit or a dog-light would probably
have drawn a larger crowd.

that Days Creek wagon road and a
movement will bo started after the

CITY OF AHIILANI)
HAS 14-M1LL TAX LEV Y.
Medford, With 17 Mills Under High
License, Wonders What It will
be Under Prohibition.
Roseburg taxpayers, who are pon
dering over the Increase this month
In the city tax levy from 3 mills to
10 mills, on account of the lost of
$8000 a year In Buloon licenses, may
console themselvec with tbe know
lodge that In Ashland and Medford
the tar levies are still higher. The
Medford Tribune (wet) of Dec. 25,
says:
As the result of prohibition, the
tax levy for th) city of Ashland has
been jumped foi the com(ng year
from C mills to 14 mills. There Is
at present a deficit of over $5000 In
the Ashland finances, due to tbe loss
of revenue from high license during
the paBt year, and both this deficiency
and the current expenses must be met
by Increased taxation, so the Ashland
council at Its meeting Wednesday
evening fixed the levy at 14 mlllB
only three and a half mills less than
Medford's with Its provisions for tak
ing caro of the now water system
bond Interest, street Intersection
pavements and its big program of
municipal Improvements.,
1-ant Year's Tax 0 Mills.
When tho Ashland council last
year fixed the tax levy at 6 mills it
was done in a spirit of bravado, to
prove to the world that prohibition
did not Increase taxation, and the
example of Ashland was freely quot
ed throughout the state in the local
option election- of last June. But
who dances, even to prohibition
music, must pay the piper and, in
spite of the utmost economy, a do
flclency of $5000 rolled up during the
year. This and current expenses
must be mot, and the only way to
meet it was to raise the tax levy
133 per cent which has been done.
Had Ashland voted for high license
the levy would not have to be In
creased, for the $5000 to $8000 a
year from Ilcen:-,e8 would have sup.
piled the deficiency. And now peo
pie of Medford are wondering what
the tax levy will be here If the reven
ue from licenses Is lost through pro
hibition carrying the city In January.
If It Is 17 Mi mills with license, what
will it be without?

Myrtle Point Enterprise: That
little story regarding tbe Portland

recommend it to the attention of
the public. Unlike previous build

that cars will be running into Marsh

does ho promise that dirt will be fly
