Tha annual budget of estimates for
eltjr eipnwi during; 1512 waa filed
yesterday by Mayor Itushllght for con
aldaratlon Wednesday by the City
Council. The budget ahowa that after
all cuta and deduction have been made
the taxpayers will have to put $1,870.-
000 Into the city coffers to meet ex
pen, e h. Thta amount will require a tax
levy of 1.8 mills, which, baaed on the
assessed valuation of I2TS.UOO.000, will
place the city on a sound basis for the
year, and make It possiMe for the city
to meet Its Interest on bonded Indebt
edness. The total amount asked for by heada
of various departments waa 12.12').
72J.7. This amount was cut by the
Mayor to come within the levy of CS
mills.
"I have carefully examined the esti
mates of the departments as submitted
to the Auditor." says Miyor Kushlleht
In his buditet. "and 1 am of the opinion
that a material reduction can be made
without impairing the efficiency of the
service. The city has crown rapidly
during the past few years, and dlstrlrta
that a year or two ago were not in
habited are now demanding; lire and
police protection, and street lights. The
expense of maintaining; the public
parks has Increased accordingly. The
Interest charge, which cannot be evad
ed, has more than doubled within
comparatively short time.
Maey streets Paved.
"During; the last three yera many
mllea of hard-surface pavemente have
been laid, and these pavemenla must
be kept clean, and the expense of
maintaining; the street-cleaning and
sprinkling department has doubled dur
lna; this period. The Public Library
.Association asks for 33 1-3 per cent
more than It received last year. A
levy muat be made to provide for the
expense of the Public I'ocks Commis
sion, which has not been required here
tofore. The police department requests
sufficient money to Increase the force
with 75 patrolmen and additional de
tectives and sergeants. And. last but
not least. I must call your earnest at
tention to the necessity of providing
funds for the payment of our bonded
Indebtedness. Until 1510 not a dollar
was placed In the sinking fund from
general taxation to meet the Inevitable
day when our just debts will fall due;
20-140 or 1 mill was levied In 110. and
25-100 of 1 mill In 111. but unless this
levy Is Increased the proceeds will not
be sufficient to care for bonds falling
due. To provide for the payment of
bond maturing within the next 10
years will require a levy of at least
40-100 of 1 mill every year, and I
earnestly urge that we prepare to meet
our obligations when due. In all cases
where public Improvements are made
from the proceeds of bond Issues, pro
vision should be made for a sinking
fund sufficient to retire the bonds when
the life of the Improvement has ceased
to exist.

"The Council at lta last session
adopted a resolution providing for the
appointment of three members of the
Council to investigate and report the
number of employes necessary to con
duct the. several departmenta and the
salaries to be paid such employes, and
1 have refrained from making any rec
ommendations aa to Increases or de
creases In salaries and all expenditures
are based on the present schedule of
salaries.
"The estimate of expenditures filed
by the chief engineer of the fire de
partment for 111 ai;gre;ates 1773.140.
The charter limits the amount to be
levied for fire department purposes to
:V mills. The estimated amount of as
sessable property within the cltl limits,
after deducting the necessary amount
for delinquency. Is S27S.0OO.OO0. and a
levy of I mills would produce JiI8.

available balance to be carried for

3 id. It will be seen that the amount
of the estimate filed by the chief en
gineer of the fire department Is far In
excess of the amount authorised for
said department, and that a material
reduction will have to be Trade."
The fire department estimate Is cut
1115 57 40.

T do net think It advisable to place
engines In residence districts where
ample protection can -be offered with
combination chemical and hosewagons."
continues tha Mayor, "for the reason
toat a ft re In a residence district could
be held In check until such time aa en
gine could reach the seen of the fir
from other localities. After making
the reductions and additions above re
ferred to It will be necessary to levy a
tav of I 16-100 mills, which will pro
duce $51.350. and I recommend that
levy.
Th estimate filed by th chief of
police aggregates 14 10.000. It provides
for an assistant chief of police, five de
tective sergeants. eight patrol ser
geants and 75. patrolmen In addition to
tha present force."
A redutlon of 132.450 Is made In tha
poliee department estimate.

take over the Peninsula library.
- A movement haa been started to

subject in hand. The city association

In the midst of a struggle with So
cialist agitator belonging to -the In
dustrial Worker of the World. If ap
prehension entertained by police ofn
clals are well founded. For hours yes
terday Chief of Folic Slovar and
r -1 n fnefev of the nollce commit
tee of the Executive Board, sat In con
ference on th question and heard ex
cited protests from business men who
already have begun to feel the pre
ure of the propaganda.
International agitation for a general
eight-hour day, at highly Increased
wages. Is at the bottom of the agita
tion. The struggle ha been announced
for months back by means of stickers
posted on windows and poles, bearing
the slogan, "I won't work more than
eight hour a day after May J, 1912."
These pasters. In violation of th bill
posting ordinance, have been reported
by policemen from tlm to time.
Now the advance wave of "orators
has arrived, and their activities yes
terday reached a point where it be
came necessary for the police to inter
fere. "A worklngman's atomach holds as
much aa a millionaire's." say the ora
tor. "We will begin by demanding
S3 60 a day, and raise at frequent in
tervals till we have taken in every
cale of skilled labor. Then we can
work aa few hours, for as much mon
ey, aa we see fit to demand."
Choosing; as their principal point of
attack the place where the most men
out of employment ar to be found, the
employment agencle near Burnside
and Second streets, the agitator held
an Immense crowd of listener yester
day morning. When keeper of busi
ness places protested. Patrolman Wade
ordered one of the speakers to move
on. He refuaed and was arrested.
While Wade was on the way to the
station with hi prisoner, another
mounted the aoap box and continued
the discourse. Returning, the officer
made another arrest, , only to have hi
prisoner replaced by another. In thl
manner he placed ix men In the City
Jail.
REALTY BOARD ASKS MAYOR TO
MAKE TWO DRAFTS ONE.
Speaker Predict Defeat of Com
mission Plan by People If Both
Outlines Are on Ballot,
Mayor Rushlight will be asked by
the Portland Realty Board to urge the
two commission charter committees to
agree upon one general draft of the
commission form of government. With
two charter amendments already com
pleted, one by the official committee
and one by the East Side committee It
was pointed out at a meeting of the
board yesterday that by having more
than one on the ballot, the result might
be that the entire plan of commission
form of government would fail when
aubmltted to the people. .
The Realty Board voted unanimously
to urge the Mayor- to bring the two
committees together a soon a pos
sible and work out one form of gov
ernment. Another proposal for com
misxlon government, drafted by C. fc.
S. Wood and others has also been pre
pared, but the Realty Board took no
cognizance of that document.
Judge Earl C. Bronaugh, as chairman
of the official charter committee, ex
plained to the Board the features of
Its proposed charter amendment. He
said that a municipality was In many
respects like a big corporation, doing
millions of dollars' worth of business
annually, and that to give the best
result It was necessary to . apply
sound business principles and have a
well-organised executive force at Its
head. This plan, he said, was contem
plated In the proposed amendment.
Dr. Harry Lane, chairman of the East
Side charter committee declared that
the present charter was cumbersome.
Indirect and wasteful and that his com
mittee had attempted to place the sys
ter of city government on a busines
basis In drafting its amendment. In
stead of having S8 managers for one
business, as now Is the case, he said
that his committee would have five men
to conduct the civic affairs of the city
so that not only responsibility could
be fixed but also the administrative
and legislative functions of the city
government could be carried out to the
best advantage. He advocated the
elimination of politic entirely from
municipal government.
D. O. Lively was chairman of the
meeting. Mr. Lively declared that It
was the duty of the two charter com
mittees to confer and agree on one gen
eral draft of charter amendment.
"Unless one charter amendment 1
submitted to the people the commis
sion form of government will be de
feated," said Mr. Lively. "There are
good featurea In both proposed amend
ments. Let the committees get together
and draft a good, strong document that
will appeal to all the people."
Ben Riesland spoke on West Side
acreage. He said that In future there
would undoubtedly be great activity
In hillside development. He declared
that the proposed tunnel through
Council Crest to th Tualatin Valley
would open an Immense territory of
residential property closer to the busi
ness center than some of the present
highly developed section of the East
Side.
