14 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1920 cflumrs TREASURY LOOKS RATHER LEAN Warrants Outstanding Far Exceed Cash on Hand. HOSPITAL PROVES COSTLY Outlay for . This and Other Par- poses Already Is Enormous; Bridge Tolls Hypothecated. Finances of Multnomah county are not in the best condition. So short is the county that on December 1 there were warrants outstanding aggregat ing 348.78892 and cash on hand in the general fund amounting to $56, 451.23. Even if the general fund should be exhausted paying warrants there would still be outstanding 292, S37.69 of the county's paper. Another matter of county finance Is that dealing with the new hospital on Marquam hill built on ground not owned by the county. Contracts have been let already for the hospital to the tune of $473,000. yet the 1920 bud get called for but $250,000. To carry on with the hospital and make good on the outstanding contracts the county commissioners want $500,000 put into the 1921 budget. Hospital Absorbs Money. This new hospital Is absorbing a ast amount of money. One contrac tor, whose contract says he shall be paid in United States gold coin, re fused to accept county warrants. To satisfy this contractor the commis sioners have ordered him paid out of the tolls of the Interstate bridge. The tolls are supposed to be used for the retirement of the bridge .bonds through a sinking fund. Of course, the county commissioners expect sometime to restore to the tolls' fund Viie money that is now being taken from it. The bridge tolls used; thus far amount to $71,592.08. Presumably the new hospital will not be ready for occupancy for an other year at least, but already the county commissioners are buying equipment. The other day $7110 was paid for operating tables and other surgical equipment which will not be used for a year, or 18 ' months, by which time the cost of such equipment may be considerably less than present prices. The consignment of surgical material is stowed away near the boiler room of the courthouse, barri caded by an array of ballot boxes. Warrants Kxeeed Revenue. Ey scraping the bottom of the bar rel, every nickel there is In sight up to January 1, 1921, is $206,521.23. These estimated receipts are 1919 taxes, $120,000; state market road money, $49,521.23; county market roads, $7000; other receipts than taxes. $30,000. Against these estl ' mated revenues of $206,521. 3 there are already the outstanding war rants, which more than exceed the estimated revenues. And reverting to the bridge tolls mypothecatedi by the county commis sioners for the benefit of the new hospital, the state treasurer has made a demand on the county for the state's portion of these tolls. The commis sioners, because of the borrowing of part of these tolls, intend hurrying up with a counter-claim for the county's second half of the state mar ket road money, some $49,521.23. The state claims that the tolls due it ag grefate $174,300.98 and would like to have the money. Many Estimates Overrun. TTnder" the 1920 budget for general appropriation there "vas $2,033,255.14. In the first ten months bf the year the commissioners spent $1,709,049.57, leaving $324,205.57 for the two re maining months. Running over the estimates has been a not uncommon practice. In 11 of the items of the general 1920 budget there has been an overdraw in the first 10 months ranging from $21,143.11 to $7.23. The-bureau of re lief had an estimate of $36,800 in the 1920 budget, but in the first 10 months It expended $57,943.11, or $21,143.11 over the estimate, with two months to be accounted for. Kelly Butte in 10 months has exceeded by $7,613.55 the appropriation made for the entire year. Multnomah county farm has run over its budget estimate by $4051.78 in the first 10 months and the old hospital showed up $1276.26 over the budget appropriation in 10 months. Ten months showed expendi tures of $545.07 in excess of the yearly appropriation for the detention home. COOS BUDGET IS ADOPTED Expenditures for 1921 Set at Sum or $378,528, Basis Is Cash. MARSHFIELD, Or., Dec. 6. (Spe cial.) Coos county has adopted through its court. Judge Wade, and Commissioners Yoakam and Kern, the annual budget for county expenses in 1921.

"Because we are a part of a dem ocratic nation, we each have a right, after careful consideration, to form and uphold our own opinion. We cannot hope that all will hold the same view, but while we must, from necessity, disagree, let us disagree agreeably, bearing ever in mind the thought that good will and harmony and the help that flows therefrom mean much to an organization like our own. "We may disagree about the way of getting, but we surely" stand to gether in wanting the same thing good schools and fair play for both teachers and children.
