COMPLAINTS OF
TAXPAYERS
HEARD
County Board of Equalization
Passes on Large Num
ber of Protests.
WORK NEARLY COMPLETED
Some Assessments Reduced, Others
Raised During Busy Day's Ses
sion Light on Money, Notes
and Accounts of O. R. & X.
Assessor Sigler, County Clerk Fields
and County Judge Webster, compris
ing the County Board of Equalization,
met again yesterday and nearly com
pleted their work for the year. A large
number of protests were passed upon
during the day, the most of them be
ing denied. In these cases the assess
ments will remain as first made. In
a few Instances the assessments of
persons who protested were increased,
after their statement of the facts had
been considered by the Board.
A decision as to the- value to place
on the money, notes and accounts of
the O. R. & N. Company has not yet
been reached, but it Is expected that
the figure will be placed at about $2,
000.000. The original assessment was
$14,400,000. The Board has carefully
considered the testimony and depo
sitions of company officials. Including
that of William Mahl. who gives the
value of the company's money, notes
and accounts, on March 1, 1908, as $4,
726.637.2s. Outstanding debts offset
$2,450,327.58 of this, leaving a balance
of $2,276,309.70. The $4,726,637.28 Is
made up as follows: Cash, $660,009.56;
due from agents and conductors, $186,
945.12; due from solvent companies and
Individuals, $1,965,534.51; United States
Government, $99,679.16; material, fuel
and supplies. $1,814,468.93. Of the $186.
945.12 due from agents and conductors,
$65,000 was held on March 1 by the O.
R. & N. Company as the agent for
other companies. The figure for ma
terial, fuel and supplies will also be
considerably reduced, as this item does
not belong entirely to Multnomah
County.
The debts outstanding March 1 were
made up of the following items: Tariff
balances, $307,577.23: coupons, divi
dends and called bonds, $11,340.15; ac
crued Interest on bonds, $220,220.01;

866.33. Assessment of Astoria Road.
The petition of the Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad Company that
Its assessment be apportioned between
Multnomah, Clatsop and Columbia
counties was allowed. The company
showed that the cost of its rolling stock
was $252,952, but that many years'
wear had reduced the value to $151,772.
Multnomah County will receive a tax
on 17.122 of the $151,772, or $21,148.
The Board declined to cancel the as
sessment on the franchises of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The
company urged that under an act of
Congress all roads are post roads, and
that a franchise to operate over them
is exempt from taxation. The company
will also be obliged to pay a tax on the
assessment of its property as first
made. It asked that this be reduced
from $28,395 to $26,998.

seven-tenths acres belonging to W. F.
Burrell have decreased In value with
great rapidity. In 190" they were as

placed at $26,000 this year, but Burrell
protested that they are worth but $16,
000. The board reduced the assessment
to $18,000. Burrell's real estate was
assessed at $19,000. He asked a reduc
tion of $12,000. The assessment now
stands at $18,000 for the land. It is
located In section 1, township 1 south
of range 1 east of Willamette Meridian.
Although the Hawthorne estate
asked that a blanket reduction of 10
per cent on the 1907 assessment of 123
lots be made, the board declined to
change the first figures. The property
of the estate was assessed at $546,500
this year, and at $463,4o0 in 1907. The
estate asked that the figure be placed
at $417,105. The only reduction al
lowed was in the assessment of blocks
"A" and "B." Hawthorne Park. Block
"A" was assessed at $85,000. This was
reduced to $50,000. Block "B" was
valued at $75,000. The figure was re

it, so his assessment was raised to $So0.
The A. H. Averlll Machinery Com
pany asked for a reduction of the $36,
000 assessment on Its money, notes and
accounts to $3000. It was asserted that
36 per cent of the notes are secured
by mortgages on Washington property,
while nearly all of the balance Is se
cured by mortgages on property out
side Multnomah County. The reduc
tion was denied.

pf merchandise. $7500 worth of ma

and Its money, notes and accounts at
$40,000. It asked that the merchandise
figure be placed at $21,286 and that
the accounts be reduced to $61.
The Oregon & Washington Lumber
Company will be obliged to pay taxes
on Its full assessment. This was as
foHowa:
Improvements, $SS00; merchandise. $15.

company desired the property assessed
was: Improvements, $4950; merchandise,
$10,000: machinery, $15,750; money, notes
and accounts. $10,000.

follows: Merchandise, $16,000; machinery.
$3000; money, notes and accounts, $15,000;
wagons. $HO0, and horses, $400.. The com
pany asked to have $5000 subtracted from
the merchandise assessment, and $6000
from the value placed on its money, notes
and accounts.
The Title Insurance Investment Com
pany contended that block 330, Portland,
at Taylor and Chapman streets. Is worth
only $1500. The board thought differently.
Take Plenty
of Time in
Buying
JEWELRY
Buying jewelry is positive
ly different from almost every
other thing that you buy for
personal use.
Jewelry is purchased on a
basis of permanency that
gives one a feeling of respon
sibility that does not enter
into the ordinary transactions
of one's daily routine.
When you have finally de
cided upon some article of
jewelry, you, have given,
thought to the one particular
f e a t u r e the permanency
of it.
Jewels are not bought to
day to be discarded in a short
time for something different,
as in wearing apparel, for in
stance. Hence we advocate plenty
of time to be taken in the se
lection of the finer articles of
jewelry, such as are sought
for gifts at Christmas.
Bight now you have a bet
ter opportunity to deliberate
in the selection of gift jew
elry than you will later on.
The crowds that gather with
the approach of Christmas do
not permit of as much time to
be given to the making of se
lections, and the displays are
never as good as now.
You select any article you
wish NOW, and we lay it
. aside for you; later on you
simply have to call and your
choice, which doubtless would
have been taken by some one
else long ago, awaits you.
I request that you COME.
EARLY for the selection of
Christmas jewelry, purely for
our mutual interests, that you
may be the better served, and
we will have a better oppor
tunity of showing you what
will please you.
