Through an oversight of the Multno mah County officials or the State Tax Commission there will be no money in the State Treasury this year for the payment of interest on the inter state bridge bonds. The County Court places the blame on the Tax Commission and the Com mission declares the county Is at fault. At any rate, no levy was made by the Commission for the payment of the money snd It has nond to pay. State Treasurer Kay today received a check from the County Treasurer of Multnomah for $294,000. the last payment of the first half of the taxes, and an announcement that $31,250 had been retained for paying interest on the bonds. The annual interest is 562.500, and. unless a. settlement is leached, the county wid retain the balance out of the last-half tax pay ments. County Oeclared In WroiiK. Under the law providing for the bridge, notification of the interest on the nonds must be made to the State Tax Commission by the County Court before January 1 each year. Notifica tion was mailed to the Commission the last day of December, but the tax levy had been made and the various counties notified of it. It was then too late to make a change to include a levy tor the payment of interest on the bonds. "No levy having- been made for that specific purpose, the county clearly has no right to withhold money with which to pay this interest," declared Assistant State Treasurer Ryan. "This department cannot be held responsible for the mistake, for it needs every cent for specific appropriations. .Honey Meld Is to Be Demanded. "Jf the county insists upon retain ing the money the only thing I see to Jo 's for the State Treasurer to demand interest on it. That probably would result in the filing of a suit to determine whether the state has to pay. This office will make a demand upon the County Treasurer for the money which he is withholding." The law providing for the building of the bridge empowered Multnomah County to raise the money for building it by issuing bonds, the state to pay tho intc-ist on the bonds. After a certain period the county is to start a. sinking fund to liquidate the in debtedness. State Treasurer Kay said that be would notify the members of the Tax Commission tomorrow of the action of the Multnomah County Treasurer, and it is probable that Attorney-General Brown will be asked to advise the Commission regarding what steps it should take to collect the money.

Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, missionaries in India, had come half way around the globe to pay a visit. He arrived in time to assist in the funeral services, and the few words that he spoke were among the most impressive. The services were simple. There was no long sermon, no formalities. A brief sketch of the lives of each of the chil dren and that of Mr. Sly without un necessary words was related by those who spoke. Rev. M. A. Prator, of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. R. S. Bishop, of the Methodist Church; Rev. Jasper Bogue, of the Christian Church and Rev. Mr. Stratford, a resident of Cres well, spoke briefly. All business was suspended In the little city, that, surrounded on all sides by miles of blossoming fruit trees, wore its prettiest dress. The schools were closed, and the pupils, all play mates of the four children taken from their midst, were scarcely able to grasp the fact that they were gone forever. Their quiet part in the funeral formed one of the most impressive parts of the services. The members of the Oddfellows Lodge formed an escort for the body of F. U. Sly as it was taken from his home to the plaza in the center of the city, and they, too, took part In the services. Two huge funeral proces sions, with four hearses, extending for perhaps a mile, formed after the services.
