Oregon Glty today owns the Percy
Caufield property at Seventh and
John Adams streets on which the new
city hall is to be located. The loca

passed by the people at the Novem

for $5000. The property is 52 1-2 by
132 feet.
The deed to the property was filed
by City Attorney O. D. Eby Tuesday.
A cash payment witn funds drawn on

FEW CHANGES IN
BUDGET FOR NEXT
YEAR ARE MADE
Lots of Smoke but Little
Fire, Develops at Session
In Council Chambers; No
Cut in Road Fund Is Made.
HAWLEY AUTO PARK
APPROPRIATION HIT
Additional ' Hose, Insurance
For Fire Department Is
Given " Unanimous Vote.
There was more smoke than fire at
the budget meeting in the council
chambers last night. The police de
partment, road department and prac
tically every appropriation not definite
ly fixed by statute ran the gauntlet,
shook itself, and with two exceptions
came through whole.
-The first exception in thje financial
program for the coming year came in.
the matter of fire protection. Senti
ment on all side3 developed for the
purchase of more equipment, but end
ed in the increase of the appropriation,
for hose, providing for 500- instead of
250 feet. More would have teen voted
except that there were no funds.1
Provision for insurance ' on the ap
paratus was also made. The two in
creases were made by cutting down
the amount to be paid on the principal
of the fire department bonds, from
$1500 to 11000. Under the additional
one mill tax voted November T an
additional man is to be provided for
the department and state accident In
surance for the men. These things
however, were arranged in the tenta
tive draft of the budget submitted
to the Meeting last evening.
Park Fund Is Cut
The other exception was the Hawley
auto park. The city virtually washed
its hands of further financial support
of the park which it was pointed out
should be self supporting. The appro-
priation of $150 was cut to $75, the
amount necessary to meet overdrafts
on the park account. The extra $75
to put the park in shape next year
was cut out.
A few sparks flew in the first con
sideration of the park question. Wm.
Howell, member of the water board
and the park committee, wanted to
knew where the $600 voted by the city
for the park last year had been spent,
why the park was on paying basis, and
how the money had been used if so
much of the work and material for
the improvement of the park had been
donated.
Councilman Metzner, also a member
of the park committee, charged that
alj the money had been accounted for
as records of the city would show and
that Howell, being a member of the
board, was as much to blame for the
conditions as anyone.
Road Situation Is Hit
Charges that political debts were
paid in the maintenance of the street
department during the past three
months of 1922 resulting- in a defic
iency in the fund of $1,900 was made
by H. S. Mount, chairman of the street
committee. The charge immediately
drew from Tom -Smith the counter
charge that personal grudge was the
motive behind tne attempt made by
Mount to lay off the street depart
ment. As the councilman explained thei
situation, $1900 over the budget had
been paid out to complete Molalla
avenue. He declared that the coun
cil had refused to lay off the street
department in order to meet this de
ficiency out of the road fund. He
maintained that the only legal way of
meeting the overdraft was out of 1922
funds and opposed the inclusion in
the 1923 program ox a similar amount
to- meet the past year's overdraft. He
advocated the merging of the entire
road fund into one pot without de
partmental provision for the street
department. The motion was killed
and provision for the street superin
tendent and his assistants together
w-ith the definite appropriation of
$5000 instead of a blanket allowace
for permanent roads was made.
Auto Is Allowed
The budget for the police depart
ment' went through unscathed. Coun
cilman Cross, as chairman of the
health and police committee dbjected
to the appropriation for the purchase
of an auto and asked for the provision
for a motorcycle and side car instead.
He presented a series on the relative
costs of operation. -
Councilman Mount moved to entire
ly strike out the motion but the propo
sition was lost. Neod for the motoriza
tion of the police . department was
emphasized. Wm. Andresen, chair
man of the budget committee advo
cated, the auto as a general utility
vehicle for the police department and
put it to a vote, the automobile plan
was retained.
The appropriation of $500 for a rest
room will definitely go to aid the W.
number of others pointed to the neaes:

Linn Jones, Mayor Shannon and a
sity for the provision of a rest room
for the women and lauded the union
for its work. The rest room' location
is forced to be changed and the meet

be used toward the improvement of

TROT HIGHWAY ON
' COAST NOW ADVOCATED
California and Washington
Organizations Back Move
To Get Road's Completion.
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 14. Officials
and private citizens of Oregon are
urged in a letter received by Gover
nor Ritner from H. I.. Walther, vice
president of the Medford Chamber of
Commerce, to use their influence to
bring about completion of the Pacific
highway (through Washington and
California to connect with the high
way through Oregon. Walther writes in
behalf of O. G. Steele, of Yreka, Cal.,
president of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce of Siskiyou, Cal. '
Steele's letter- to Walther com
plains that the California highway
commission has , neglected the north
ern part of that state. The " letter
points out that the inland route In
California, which would connect with
the Oregon highway, is a trunk route
and should ' have ' attention prior to
less important highways. Promises,
it appears, have been made the North
ern California counties, but the high
way commission has failed to adver
tise for bids as they were expected
to do several months ago.
"We have followed this matter
up diligently," "writes Steele, "and
have finally succeeded in getting
them to advertise for paving from
Yreka to Grenada and the grading and
widening of the road from Klamath
river to the Oregon line. This latter
unit, however, should have been in
cluded for paving, but for some reason
or other, they. have not seen fit to
include the paving of this unit.
"We are after them again and we
are now going after them for addi
tional! money to not only complete
these two units, but to pave the high
way from the Oregon line to Redding,
which will then connect Portland with
San Francisco by a continuous pave
ment. "To acomplish this, and assuming
that the road is paved- from Yreka
to Grenada, 109 miles will remain yet
unpaved. Ten miles of this has not
even been graded.
"Through good authority, we know
that the commission in a recent
budget, set aside $1,000,000 for a high
way in the Feather River canyon.
This is -not as essential as the com
pleting of the main trunk line from
Oregon south.' Moreover, the $1,000,
000 set aside for this unit is only a
drop in the bucket as there iss no
question but that this Feather River
highway system would require from
$5,000,000 to $6;000,000 and we feel
satisfied ithat Governor Richardson
will not permit the expenditure of
this money at this time, or at least
until such a time as the trunk line
has been completed.
"It therefore appeared to us that
both Oregon and Washington should
get busy and use what Influence pos-
sible to bring about the completion
of the inland highway and thought it
possible for you to bring .about a di
rect appeal from the governor of Ore
gon and the governor of Washington
to the governor of California, and also
from the highway commissions of
Oregon and Washington to the high
way commission of California. The
papers in Oregon of course, should
also lend their support."
OF ASTORIA IS BEGUN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Secretary
of War Weeks today wired war de
partment officials at Portland to give
him an immediate report of the- situa'
tion at Astoria, Or., where many
persona are homeless as a result of
last Saturday's fire. If the report
Weeks receives warrants, a joint reso
lution providing for the purchase of
supplies, medicines and food, etc., will
be rushed through congress as an
emergency measure.
The resolution now drawn provides
$1,000,000, but this amount will be
changed to conform to the reports from
army engineers at the scene of the
disaster.
Major R. Park, army engineer, is at j
Astoria today making a survey of tne
city's needs, in accordance with in
structions received from Secretary
Weeks. He is expected back either to
night or Saturday to forward details
of his investigations. No report of his
findings has been received at the en
gineers' headquarters in the custom
house.

MUNICJPALTAXES
FOR OREGON CITY
RLACHNEW MARK
Increase in School and Fire
Department Imposts Will
Raise Total Millage of 1923
To More Than Thirty-six.
OFFICIAL FIGURE IS
NOT YET AVAILABLE
Statistics for Coming Year
Are Still in Process of
Compilation; Value Gains.
Oregon City this year is facing the
heaviest tax levy in the history of the
municipality.' Increases voted for the
fire department, for school adminis
tration and the continuance of the
levy for the partial payment of the
new Pacific Highway bridge will in
crease the impost to 36.4, not inclusive
of any of the state and county levies.
These, which are not yet computed
for the coming year, will make the
aggregate nearly 70 mills.
The figure for the city itself is not
exact because the 1923 valuations for
the county have not been completed
by Assessor Wm. Coon, ana the as-
sessor's office is not yet m a position
to make an accurate estimate, al
though it is believed that a slight
increase In the local valuation is
probable which will result in cutting
down the millage a trifle.
School Levy Heaviest
. The heaviest tax in Oregon City
is for school purposes, amounting to
approximately 13.4 mills, an increase
of two mills having been vrtad over
last year.
For municipal administraton pur
poses Oregon City pays seven mills.
A- one mill tax for the library and
three mills for the fire department,
the latter figure representing a one
mill increase voted November 7.
To take care of the bonded indebt
edness of the county, Oregon City
pays a seven mill tax to meet interest
and principal of $275,000 general fund
ing bonds and a one and a half mill
tax to meet $30,000 funding bonds ad
ditional. A one mffii tax was voted
with the passage of the $35,000 bond
ing act to provide for the proposed
city hall.
Total Indebtedness $437,000
The total bonded indebtedness of
the city is $437,000 according to City
Recorder C. "VST- Kelly. This figure
includes a total of $375,000 general
funding bonds, of which $70,000 Is
current without any tax provision for
its retirement. The city hall bond
, 3Sue has been voted but not sold and
as the tax is gradually being paid
into the treasury both interest and
principal are accumulating to the
city's credit. Included in the total
is $12,000 elevator bonds, for which
no tax retirement provision la made
and $15,000 fire department bonds.
Of this latter amount $12,000 is owned
by the city cemetery irreducible fund.
A tax provision for the retirement of
this issue was included in the increase
voted this year.
Added to the various imposts which,
go to-make up the 36.4 mill total is
a levy of two and a half mills voted
as a special road tax. This levy Is
the second special road Impost In the
history of the municipality and was
voted for th year of 1922 lot the
first time to take care of Oregon
City's payment upon the Willamette
river bridge which was financed, by
the state, county, Oregon City and
West Linn.
The estimates of the millage are
based upon the valuations for the past
year. The levies are made by the
city in dollars, computed approximate
ly upon the basis of what a millage
tax would bring. The exact percent
age of the ratio is' decided by the
assessor on the basis of the current i
assessment sheet.,
Duelists Both Miss; .
Honor Is Satisfied
MONTEVEDIO, Uruguay, Dec. 14.
The great Brum-Herrera duel was
only a bloodless memory today.
- Baltazar Brum, dashing president of
Uruguay, who resigned his office to
fight Luis Herrera, political opponent,
was invited to retain his office, since
the affair of honor passed off peace
fully with two fruitless shols by each
principal lending it the- proper air of
mortality. " .
Substitution at the eleventh hour of
pistols for , two sabres saved the.
duellists from injuries certain to have
been sustained had they fought with j
the latter weapons. '
Brum and Herrera were old enemies.
The former won the presidency over
Herrera at the last general elections.
Herrera promptly issued a manifesto,
thanking his supporters and mention-;
ing the fact that JJrum was elected
largely through fraud and police cor
ruption. The president replied in kind.
Herrera challenged him to a duel.
Brum accepted. The "court of honor"
ruled Brum could not meet Herrera
because of the presidency. Brum' re
signed the presidency.

TRAIN WRECKED, STEAM
COOKS FIVE TO DEATH
HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 14. Five
deaths. a a hospital this morning
brought the total to 14 dead to date
as a result of the crash' of Houston
East and -West Texas, passenger train
,No. 28 with a switch engine at Hum
ble,' nearby oil town, late Wednesday
! night
Conductor William Campsy, Hous
ton; M. Young, Van Noy company
agent; an unidentified white man and
six negroes were cooked to death by
live steam. Approximately 23 other
negroes were badly scalded, five of
them so seriously that they died,
bringing, the death total up to 14 by
9:30 o'clock- this morning.
The train ,was known as the "Na
cogdoches Lufkin Rabbit,' running be
tween Houston and Shreveport.
Although they received a severe
shaking up, none of the passengers in
the Pullman cars were, injured. . All
of the dead and injured were pas
sengers in the first and second
coaches of the train, into which the
live steam from the switch engine's
steam chest poured.
Outstanding among many instances
of bravery and presence of mind re
corded during the work of rescuing the
victims was one man who refused to
give his name. This man catapulted
himself into the coach while it was
still a .seething cauldron, stumbling
the entire length of the "car, breaking
windows as he progressed and thus as
a result or his bravery the steam.
j poured out of the car and relieved the
stifling victims. This action is be-
j Heved to have saved many lives
Panic followed the crash in the ne-
gro coach. Wild, horrified yells and
shrieks rang out as a mad scramble
for windows and doors began.
A few minutes after the crash, a re
lief train carrying doctors and nurses
was en route to the scene from Hous
ton. Work of extricating the dead
and injured was begun . by Humble
physicians and citizens before the re
lief train arrived, however.
According to members of the crew
of the switch engine, a watchman
named Smith had been left in charge
while they went to a nearby restau
rant for their supper. The first they
knew of the engine's "drifting" came
with the impact of. the two locomo
tives. .

duty on the second floor of the mint, .
took effect.
The bandit was seen to throw his
hand's into the air and was grabbed
by Vhe other men in the car as it
