16 THE MORNING OREGONIATT, "WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27. 191G. DOCK GOMMISSION DISCUSSES BUDGET Levy to Be Same as Last Year, but Amount Will Be Less. Due to Cut in Valuation. SALARY RISES PASSED UP In Making; Estimates Income l'rom Municipal Docks Jumped $10, 000; if Worst Should. Happen Bonds Can Be Disposed Of. To keep the budget for 1917 within the tax levy for the 1916 exchequer, six tenths of a mill, the Commission of Public Docks yesterday voted to get along on $11,400 less than before, due to the fact County Assessor Reed has announced that there will be a redUC- tiAn tn f h A lcS0CCAn V !1 111'! I Win 1 1 1 I'll V property of approximately $19,000,000. Commissioner Dan Kellaher precip itated a heated discussion in proposing that services of certain members of the office force be dispensed with, in view of the fact construction work had been brought to an end, and that the docks were not busy because of the demor alization of shipping. Commissioners C. B. Moores, chairman; Ben Selling, John H. Burgard and. F. C. Knapp op posed the move, and when a vote wa3 taken on the budget Commissioner Kellaher was the only one to register his ballot against its adoption. "I feel that the staffs on each dock are all right, there being three men, because someone must be on duty dur ing the 24 hours," said Commissioner Kellaher after the meeting, "but I am In favor of the elimination of consid erable of the overhead expense. All Kurnlus helD should be cut off until such time as shipping is revived or more construction is undertaKen. Most of yesterday afternoon was oc cupied in a consideration of the budget and the estimate of what wouia De re quired to continue the work during 1917 was accepted after several changes, in spite of the fact it was apparent there will be increases in maintenance and operation of docks, also insurance, the latter feature alone meaning an aaai tional expense of $1277.12 over the 1916 buderet. One decidedly optimistic viewpoint of the Commission was with reference to the probable revenue derived from flocks next year, which was placed at $43,000. though the estimate for 1916 was $33,000. The amount raised by levy for the present year was $181,800 and the expected amount for next year will be $170,400. The difference must be made up in retrenchment and through revenue. That 1917 will show an im proved condition in shipping is believed certain, and shduid it be found impos sible to meet a shortage through dock proceeds the Commission is empowered to dispose of bonds. Certain salary increases had been in cluded in the original estimate yester day as a means of showing what de serving persons in the employment of the Commission were entitled to in normal times, but none was allowed be cause of the reduction that must be met. The budget as amended will be gone over at a meeting tomorrow and then be forwarded to Mayor Albee. The Port of Portland Commission will consider the 1917 budget in a general way at a meeting October 12, but it is not expected to be adopted until the Kovember session, as it is not to be filed until early in December.

(Special.) The Oregon Supreme Court'today held valid the claim of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Woods, of Benton County, to a 200-acre farm in Kings Valley. 14 miles from Corvallis, which was willed to the by Richard Dunn, an Oregon pioneer, in return for their care of him for a few months prior to his death. The farm is valued at 12.000. The decision, which was written by Justice Burnett, reverses the judgment of Circuit Judge Hamilton, of Benton County, who held that the property should go to the relatives of Dunn under the terms of a later codicil, which eliminated Mr. and Mrs. Woods from it. Testimony in the case showed that Mr. and Mrs. Woods, graduates of the Oregon Agricultural College, save up their own little farm to care for the aged Mr. Dunn after he had told them he was dissatisfied with his own rela tives' care of him. In September. 1913. the old pioneer accidentally shot and killed himself, and the contest over the two wills ensued. Commenting on the case. Justice Bur nett says: "It is Just that the benefit of his bounty should inure to those who did him the most good, and all that was done for him at all. Moreover, it is but a part of his weath that goes in thtvi direction. His property amounts to upwards of $52,000. Whatever claims his relatives might have upon hi.n are amply compensated by the residuary clause of the will.
