It looks tft me like there will be no end of complications and entanglements if yon attempt to continue business rela tions with these people. What I would likefl done is to have the matter of your policy upon these questions set tled and determined as quickly as pos slide, so that you will not be up against needing more money befnre arrange ments enn be had for it.

The school board while they have not as yet taken formal action, have prac tically decided upon a school tax of 5 mills. The state and county tax will ap proximate 7 mills. The assessed valuation of Medford property this year is $2,481,135, an in crease of $r3t.:i.r4 over the asse&smeot for li0, which was $1,949,781. How Levy Is Divided. The city council made the levy as follows: tieneml fund 004 Interest fund .- Park fund CK0 A General sower fund 001 Street aud road 004 Hi Total levy .017 The fixing of the levy was reduced to the lowest possible by the city coun cil, bnt the levy annot be reduced moro And still made to meet the expenses of the coming year. While the levy is higher than that of last year, it is due to the fact that in terest must be paid on the water bonds, while there is no revenue to meet it. The levy is probably higher than it eer will be again in the history of the eitv. Bankers Indignant. The three hankers of the city J. F Enyart, W. F. Vawter and W. M.
