BUDGETPLAHGRITIC1SED INFORMATION GIVES OUT DE CLARED TOO MEAGER. . Scientific Estimating of Expenses Said to Be Handicapped by Present City Charter. The method of preparing the annual budget in Portland is declared to be exceedingly poor and unscientific In the eighth report of the New lorn Bureau of MunlclDal Research. "Wrong budget-making," says the reDort. "is a chief sin of Inefficient gov ernment. Although the making of the city's budget Is the most Important an nual governmental event of the year to citizens of Portland, and is pudiic business, the Council provides no means for informing the public what Is In tended to be done, what is going on during the actual making of the budget or what the result is alter action is finally taken. "Scientific budget-making in Port land is handicapped to a regretable ex tent by the present charter, which pre scribes special tax levies for certain functions, usable only for the specific Dumoses for which the levies are made, Instead of the Council being able to ap portion money out of a single fund, or, at the most, from two or three funds, according to the varying needs of each of the city's functions and activities, the Council is limited Dy tnese special levies arbitrarily from appropriating more than the amount specified in the charter. "Sound municipal financing demands that as a basis for judgment in adopt ing a financial programme each year, a statement be prepared showing on one side the estimated available revenue from the different sources and on the other side the estimated expenditures. Stets should be taken to install unit cost systems In all departments, so that at budget-making time the Council will have available complete inrormauon, not only of the quantity of work per formed for the money expended the previous year, but the amount of work to be performed the ensuing year ana the probable cost per work unit or ac complishing it."

Everyone in the station joined in the hunt, without effect, and a tense situ ation was developing when Patrolman Thatcher approached the hatless one somewhat sheepishly and handed back the missing hat. A trusty prisoner who had 'cut chapel' saw the hat lying on the bench and assumed that it belonged to some drunken prisoner. With the best of In tentions, he picked it up and carried it into the jail Just as the preacher's party was leaving and, while a hunt for the hat was going on up in front, a hunt for the hat's owner was being carried on back in the cells. The worthy minister accepted back his beaver rather gingerly and smiling ly accepted the profuse apoligies of the policemen. ' Sam Hill's Complaint Dismissed. SALEM, Or., April 20. (Special.)
