inst., granting to the Oregon City it

to operate a street-car hue from thi
south end of Main street in this city to -and
through Canemah, a distance of a
little over a mile. The action to revoke
theorder'was instituted on peiition ol
the Souther a Pacific Company and the
Oregon & California Railrc ad Company,
on the ground that it interfered witb '
the Southern Pacific's franchise, hereto

the court had no jurisdiction to nulify a,
franchise after it has beeu granted anoV
accepted, and building operations com

Indebtedness March 1st, 1901.. 3225 0O
Total estimate $12823 U .
By comparison with last year's repori -you
will find that this estimate is practi
cally (he same, the only di ire re nee being,
the insurance and needed repJirs
The item of painting Kasthara build- -ing
was asked for last year, but owing to -the
high price of painting marerial it -was
deemed advisable to let it go Kn
ottier year.
The item of $13.12 for sewer amiesB
nient is one-tenth of the amount due
under the Bancroft Act and will have to
be provided for each year until paid.
The past year we have received from,
various funds as follows :
County fund, on a valuation of
$4,714,000 6 mills $3019 62T
Ktaie ; . , isotj 00
ppecial tax, on a valuation ot
04U,415fe6 mills. 40795-
Tutal, with indebtednesss
of $3225 -. $0057. 4ff
We should receive this year as fol..
Ioms:
From the county on a5-mlll levy
on $4,285,841 $24(XT
From the state apportionment. . t . l0O t
From b special tax of 7 mills on
$041,757 valuation 4491
' Total wm
With a floating debt at the endot the
year of about $4 i00.
The school census for 1900 was 1 198;
We believe that there will be no loss inv
this respect.
'1 lie taxable property in the district
being $5000, lower than lust vear, a
seven mill levy will produce but $400
ovHr last year, and the county valuation
being almost $500,000 lower, and the
levy the name, will bring only (2400,
which is $000 less than the past year. In
view of these facta we stcommend s TV
mill tax, which will pay tbe current e-w-pen-r
anil leave the dUtrict with an in- -debtedne.H
of aUut (4000 at the end ct 1
tliefhcil year, or about $500 more tha
last year,
