That Stutz Fire Truck
Is "Mechanically De
fective." A recommendation that the city
commissioners "not accept the Htutz
pumper, hh It has proven mechan
ically defective as to power, as the
company has not furnished bond
as pep contract" was read by Joe
Kceiiey, of the Iji Grande Volun
teer Fire department, last night at
the weekly meeting of the commis
sion. The recommendation was
signed by the 16 members of the
fire department, who acted unan
imously in the request to not ac
cept the pumper fire truck.
' Considerable discussion followed
tlio rending of the recommenda
tion. The commissioners heard re.
ports that the truck's clutch was
defective, that the f. n flora were too
tightly constructed and of other
mechanical defects.
Commissioner p, I .a ml is jedd
that lie believed tlie company would
be willing to correct these faults.
No action wiw t;ik-n on the rec

C. C. Chapman Discusses
Condition of State's
finances
WARRANT BASIS
IS NOT LIKELY
Use of Highways Money
for General Fund Ex
pected to "Tide State
Through." :
(Hy C. C. Cliupinnn)
M'nofficial reports emanating
from official sources at Salem
have suggested that there will be
Utile or no deficit In state finances
during 19S6, despite loss of cig
arette tax and other revenues by
referendum, and that slate taxes
will be reduced by more than
jfMiO.uoo for that year. Whether
there are any such probabilities
should be known soon, as the state
tax conimiKSlun is required to pre
pare its estimates and levy for the
Li:2 state tax early in December
of this year. Here is how thu sit
uation sixes up ut this time:
Direction was given by the last
legislature lo the state tax comm
ission to levy not in excess of one
half mill for the lirJG require
ments ot the soldier loan hoard,
orrtciully know as the World War
veterans stale aid and sinking
fit d nmn.,sion. Tills year the
levy h'ss than one-half mill should 1
tho statn tax commission dechie
that a lesser amount is needed.
j The prospects are that the levy
win t.v rr nnn-lmlf mill or nearly
om. imif mni x reduction or
Hlutl( property taxes' of one half
property
mill, possibly a little more, may
therefore bo expected for lHHO. it
the reduction is one-half mill, tho
stul property- lax InCU will .bo
about. JiSOO.OOO less tleiri Tor HHifi,
which will he weJcome, news" lo
property owners.
Likewise, the state tux commis
sion has some discretion as lo lev
ies for other slate purposes,- but
there Is no hopa that It mny re
duce the mnln state levy below
the $J.OU84:t permitted under
the constitutional limitation of in
crease in this levy to C',, of the
limitation, was $l,0n,iH!. The in
crease from this year's amount,
by 1 15.;;x:t to UVKtM:;:. would
appear to be essential.
Facing lroiM'llvo Ih'fielt
