CITY PAY GOES UP;
BUDGET CUT DOWN
Council Continues to Grant
Salary Increases, but Pares
, $83,000 Off Estimates.
TREASURER ADAMS RAISED
Secretary Bortzmeyer Gets Only $10
of Proposed $100 Monthly Rise.
Municipal Paring Plant May
k Save City Bi Sum.
In epite of continued salary increase
activity the City Council, In another 13
hour session yesterday as budget com
mittee to fix next year's appropriations
and tax levy, lopped off a net total of
$88,000. This makes a. total of $166,390
cut out of the budget altogether during
the sessions' of the last week. Another
cession will be held today.
City Commissioner Mann's recom
mendation that provision be made for
3 500 new street arc lights next year
was cut to 600 lights. A total of $210.
000 was allowed for street lighting next
year, as compared with $19.000 for the
present year, an increase or $12,000 over
this year's cost, but a decrease of
$63,000 under the amount provided in
the budget by Commissioner Mann for
1500 lights. This reduced the budget
by $63,000.
A total of $40,000 was in the budget
to cover the cost of paving the north
half of Terwilliger boulevard. After
an investigation City Commissioner
Barbur submitted a report . showing
that the city can do this work with
a municipal paving plant for $23,000.
Accordingly, the Council pledged itself
to the municipal paving plant plan and
cut $17,000 out of the estimate.
In continuance of its salary increase
programme the Council increased the
salary of City Treasurer Adams from
$200 to $250 a month. -The position has
paid $200 a month for many years and
no increases have been allowed here
tofore, although the work has grown
heavier.
Alex Donaldson, superintendent of
the street cleaning bureau, was raised
from $205 to $215 a month.
An assistant cashier in the Treas
urer's office was increased to $125 a
month and clerks were granted in
creases from $S0 and $90 a month to
$100 a month. The Council refused to
give to Secretary Bortzmeyer, of the
Civil Service Board, a proposed in
crease of $100 a month from $150 to
$250, but did give him an increase from
$150 to $160 a month. Two civil serv
ice clerks also were increased. The
Council turned down a proposed in
crease to License Collector Hutchinson
and granted an Increase of $10 a month
to the private secretary to Commis
sioner Bigelow, making her salary
$105; granted $10 a month to a deputy
sealer of weights and measures; $25 a
month increase to Assistant Commis
sioner Goode in Commissioner Mann's
office, and $5 a month increase to
Mayor Baker's stenographer, making
her salary $95. and $5 a month to the
Mayors' chauffeur, making his salary
$105.
Commissioner Mann proposed to the
Council that if an increase from $125
a month to $175 a month would be al
lowed his assistant he would do away
with the position of chief clerk now
held by C. F. Wiegand at $175 a month.
Mayor Baker cast the deciding vote
against this proposal.
An allowance of $8000 was made to
provide for a public comfort station in
the vicinity of Third and Alder or
Washington streets.
In the City Attorney's office in
creases were granted only to stenog-
rapnera.
COUNTY BUDGET IS $1,750,000
Despite Efforts to Cut, Cost or Ad
ministration Will Be Higher.
Despite every possible effort that is
being made to economize in each de
partment. the cost of maintaining the
county government during 1918 will
be considerably more than during 1917,
according to the proposed budgets al
ready submitted to the County Com
missioners.
A majority of the estimates already
have been approved by the Commis
sioners, while the remaining ones are
expected to be submitted and acted
upon daring the coming week. After
the estimates shall have been approved
they then will be passed on to the
taxpayers budget committee for final
action at a meeting to be held the
latter part of the month.
Few Estimates Are Less.
In some of the departments the est!
mate for 1918 is less than the amount
allowed for 1917, while In other de
partments the estimate calls for an ex
penditure several thousand dollars in
excess of that allowed for the present
year. The County Board of Relief, for
instance, is asking for $21,700 this year
as against $18,500 for the last fiscal
year. The relief which it expects to
provide as the result of the war. to
gether with the relief which must be
furnished to women who by legislative
enactment were recently deprived of
widows' pensions, has made this in
crease necessary, it is declared.
Constable Petersen asks for $1000
more for next year than was allowed
for this year, the added amount being
sought for another deputy, which the
law authorizes. District Attorney
Evans' estimate calls for another $1000
additional, which is made necessary
hrough an amendment to the prohibi
tion law which places more burdens on
his office.
Hospital Increase Is 20OO.
The proposed budget for the County
Hospital calls for a $2000 increase over
he present year, while other minor in
creases are sought in other offices. The
offices of County .Auditor Martin and
County Treasurer Lewis are the only
wo where the estimates for 1918 are
less than those for the past year. It is
understood that other reductions are
promised in some of the departments
yet to submit estimates.
The total budget for 1917 amounted
O $1,562,500, of Which $1,340,000 was
received in taxes and $222,500 was re
ceived from other sources. Those ac
quainted with county finances predict
hat unless some of the estimates are

the show is proving so popular that
out-of-town visitors clamor for morn
ing admission.
Two from Colfax, Wash., hammered
at the doors of the Auditorium early
yesterday morning. An attendant un
barred the portal sufficiently to in
form them that the big show is strictly
an afternoon performance.
"Etrucks!" retorted the spokesman of
the pair. "Where we come from people
are used to doing things in the fore
noon." In pursuance of the plan to permit
free admission of school children from
various schools on different days, the
guests of the management yesterday

42-Inch Fleece Shown.
Many were the expressions of admir
ation yesterday before the Douglas
County booth, where the champion mo
hair fleece of America was shown. It
is 42 Inches in length and welg' s two
pounds, as soft and silken as dream
fleece. And the champion Angora goat

at Gales Creek.
A favorite corner Is that where sev
eral score of Oregon's river and costal
fish are included in the Clatsop County

Klass jars, and are the collection of
Benjamin S. Worsley, of Astoria. Sixty
seven varieties are included, several

county booths. The dinner was given
at the Hotel Imperial at 5:30 P. M.

of . the features of the evening enter
tainment. Oregon Products Varied.
Thursday was Horticulture day at
the show, and was attended by many
fruitgrowers of Oregon and Washing
ton. Among the speakers at the hor
ticultural session were Professor M.
L. Dean, chief of the division of hor
ticulture, stationed at Olympia. Wash.,
and R. C. Paulus, president of the Ore
gon State Horticultural Society.
"In a normal year Oregon produces
approximately 3000 to 4000 cars of ap
ples," said Mr. Paulus, "and 800 to 1000
cars of pears, 35,000,000 pounds of
evaporated prunes, 10,000,000 pounds of
fresh loganberries. 1500 tons of cher
ries and several hundred tons of other
fruits and berries.
"The value of these products runs
into millions of dollars. The fruit in
dustry is still young. It is tly? fastest
growing industry in the state. Oregon
is the largest producer of fruit prod
ucts of any state in the Northwest.
On account of the magnitude of the
fruit industry in this state, and be
cause the Land Products Show is pri
marily a show of products of the soil,
it is fitting that a day has been set
aside and dedicated to the fruitgrow
ers of the Northwest."
German sympathies and expressions
will be taken to Fort Douglas, near
salt Lake. Utah.
LARGER INCREASE WANTED
Tacoma Carmen Oppose Advance of
Only 4 Cents an Hour.
TACOMA. Wash.. Nov. 9 (Special.)
Private opinion of a majority of street
car men showed sentiment strongly op
posed to the reported increase of
cents an hour. A larger increase was
expected, they said, and the new sliding
scale apparently created considerable
unfavorable comment.
Whether the increase will be greater
than 4 cents an hour was not announced
by Secretary Morgan. He intimated,
however, that the official documen
will reveal more encouraging increases.
"It would be premature for me to
make an official statement until we
have considered the documents, which
will be brought over from Seattle to
day, said Mr. Morgan.
MAJOR VENABLE IN ARMY
