TAX Success or Failure of Pr j ct Rts's Willi Connly Court -Issued BjbiIs Sot Yd Sold Accompanied by a resolution lo! appropriate one-tenth of the city tax for a fund for the proposed armory, the ordinance providing for a ten nilll levy on the taxable property for vthe year 1912 was passed by the city council Monday night. The resolu tion for the armory fund will be fol lowed In due time by an ordinance sotting a do from the general tax fund an nmu:tnt equivalent to what, a levy of one mill would have raised. This proceeding is simply to avoid legal complications that might have; ensued IT the measure providing fori the ten-mill levy embraced a prn-j vision that one mill thereof should be applied to the armory fund. j It is estimated that a ton-mill 1e-v, the maximum allowed by the char-, ter, will raise about $:':!. oo. Tiii. would allow t230 as a starter for! the armory, which, ii is planned, l.i! to cost approximately $40,nuu. in-, elusive of the site, and the state i-.j to pay one-half. It rests with the.' County Court, at Its meeting next month, whether the state's available, appropriation will be met with ait! equal amount. It will be asked to make a special levy of half a mill on the county valuations, and If It does, there will be nearly $18,000 coming from that Bource. Of that sum. the city would perforce raise a share equal to one-half a mill on Its cor porate valuation. In addition to the exclusive one mill levy within her own boundaries. In accordance with the foregoing plan, the city herself would pay an armory tax ou the basiB of one and a half mills as against only a half mill on part of the tematnder of the county. And the proportion of the latter levy would not he a noticeable obligation on resident taxpnyers; at least one-half of that share of the taxation would fall on outside cor porations with raiir.ir.d and timber holdings. These Ideas of financing the armory project were expressed by Councilman Or. George E. Ilouck, the father of the proposition. He could not guarantee to the council that the County Court would make the ie sired levy, but he was of the opinion that the court would not repeat us declination of last year when the matter was presented to them In a clear, concise way. To i'mtcit t'lan of Apportioning Itiillroail Taxes, In connection with the taxation matters. .Mayor Micelll called the at tention of the council to the new plan of the state tax commission with regard to the apportionment of taxes derived on the assessment of rail road rights of way and rolling stock and other equipment. Heretofore, lioieburg has received all of the taxes derived by levy upon all trackage and the shops within her corporate boundaries. I'nder the new plan, Initiated by the state commission, she receives only a pro-rata share of the lax derived from all the trackage aad equipment in the whole country. To explain: All of the trackage in (he county, embracing the main line and sidings, and rolling stock and operative equipment, such as shops and tanks, are given a value In one lump. Then the general tax on this valuation is apportioned to all the localities abutting I lie railroad line on the basis of the school and road district mileage which they contain. Thus. Roseburg with a yard cf several miles of track and the round house and other facilities, must give up, If the commission adheres to its announced plan, a large amount o" tax which It has heretofore received to other localities In the county Ini I mediately contiguous to the railroad line. After brief discussion, it was de cided to eultst the co-operation cf other division towns, such as Grunt Pass and ABhland, In a protest to the state commission. Mayor Micelll was authorized to act In person for this j city. He announced .that he would lose du uuie in aioiiig in ine prepara tion of a Joint protest. He spoke in favor of "nob" Smith, the new!. elected Mayor of Grants Pass, as the person to present the protest to the commission. Otlier HusincNH. Upon motion.
