THE aiORXING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1915. 11 CITY FACES BUGABOO IN FIXING 1916 LEVY Jitney Emergency Case as to Referendum Period Brings Up Legislation Problem. RULING DISTINCTION CITED Charter Provides That Tax Law Goes Into Effect Immediately on Pass ageState Seta Date as Dec. I , Not Enough to Fix Budget. Tne possibility of the city being unable to pass an emergency ordinance fixing tbe tax levy for 1916 is the latest bugaboo to confront city officials in the jitney regulation ordinance case now before the Supreme Court Involv ing the right of the city to pass emergency ordinances. The question of the passage of the Usual annual tax levy ordinance with out the referendum period of 30 days following before its talcing effect was brought to the attention of officials yesterday. City Attorney LaRoche is out of the city, but Chief Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson said yesterday that he doet not believe the tax levy emergency will be affected In this way because ef the tax levy ordinance being in the nature of municipal business and not municipal legislation. Distinction in Rulings Cited. He says the Supreme Court in rulings neretorore has made a distinction be- twen measures which were merely of a Dusiness nature anrecting the ad ministration of the city government and those of a legislative nature. The city charter provides that the tax levy ordinance as prepared each year goes into effect immediately upon passage. The charter says "(a) ordi nances making appropriations and the annual tax levy; (b) relative to local Improvements and assessments there fore; (c) emergency ordinances, shall take effect immediately upon their passage. ' Emergency Itlght Involved. In the Jitney case the question in' volved is the right of a municipality to pass an ordinance with an emerg ency making it immediately effective and precluding the possibility of a ref erendum. The tax levy ordinance while, carrying no emergency clause, goes into effect without it and there is no chance lor a referendum. The state law requires the fixing of tne tax levies by December 1 of each year. The Council of Portland always passes its tax levy ordinance a day or two before that time limit, but if the emergency did not apply it would have to pass it at least 3J days prior to December 1 to make it effective by December 1. A measure Is not con sidered enforceable until it goes into effect. It will be impossible for the Council to get its budget complete so the tax levy ordinance could be passed au aays prior to December 1. in Portland Mrs. Werlich endeared her self to a wide circle of friends. -Having traveled extensively her knowledge of foreign countries was most inter esting. Prior to the breaking out of the war Captain and Mrs. Werlick resided La Europe, dividing their time between Paris and the health resorts on the continent, which were visited with the object of benefiting Captain Werlich, who, after leaving Portland, asked to be placed on the retired list owing to impairment of health. Mrs. Werlich, although far from be ing well, volunteered to do what she could to relieve the sufferings of the men at the front.' Soon after the war broke out she returned to England and was prominent in organizing a body of women who gave not only their time but their money to the cause which they had so much at heart and Jn aid of suffering humanity. Long? will the name of this unas suming, sweet. Christian woman live n the memory of those who knew her ere in her everyday life and were privileged to enjoy her friendship and hospitality." said James Mcl. Wood, who was well acquainted with Cap tain and Mrs. Werlich. "Well may it be said that her Christian character should be an example to many." RAILROAD ROPES RI6R C. P. PUTNAM SAYS CENTRAL ORE GON RESIDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC. Portland Expected to Do Her Duty, According to Governor's Secretary, and Trade Will Be Won. That there is more optimism and substantial development in Central Oregon than in almost any other sec tion of the West la the statement of George Palmer Putnam, secretary to Governor Withycombe, who returned yesterday from a hasty trip to Bend. All the interior country is enthusiastic over the railroad plans projected by Robert E. Strahorn, and Mr. Putnam says there is not the slightest doubt that, so far as Central Oregon is con cerned, the Strahorn plans will receive substantial support. It is safe to say that the new rail road will get about what It asks for in the interior, said Mr. Putnam. 'There is every reason to believe that shippers will be glad to co-operate financially, and tbe sentiment seems to be that right of way and terminal sites will be donated generously, a or in stance, I understand that already large terminal sites have been arranged for in Bend. That the new project offers Portland its biggest opportunity of a decade is Mr. Putnam's assertion. 'The interior country, and especially South-Central Oregon, has in the past turned to California in a great meas ure, so far as trade relations are con cerned," said Mr. Putnam. "The feel ing toward Portland is most friendly. out tangible co-operation from this city has often been lacking. If Port land does its share in this project, it will tie this big territory to Itself, commercially speaking, for all time. Central Oregon feels that it is Port land s move, and the communities cf the interior are ready to co-operate to the fullest extent." SECOND SALE IS ARRANGED Delinquencies to Year 190 6 Will Se Cleaned V-p This Month. The eecond big sale of nrooertv for delinquency in payment of street and sewer assessments is to take place about the end of this month and is to include a vast amount of proDertv owned for the most part by large in terests.

The year 1907 will be taken after this second sale. On order of the Council Auditor Bar bur is compiling the list of delinquents, and will submit these within a few days to City Treasurer Adams, who will ad vertise the property for sale and ar range for an auction date. This has not been set definitely yet. The delinquency in the first sale amounted to about too, The second sale, it is said, will involve delinquency of several thousand dol lars.
