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. The budget is tentative and
subject to change. It will finally be
declared toward the last part of the
month.
The county January 1 will start out
on a cash basis, paying as it goes and
whereas, in the past as high as $10,000
was appropriated for interest on war
rants, the appropriation this year is
but $500, and is not expected to be
Used. The budget calls for $378,524.44,
exactly what it was for 1920.

AT the meeting last Friday of the

Mrs. J. F. mil. president of the coun
cil, spoke to the members regarding
the proposed tenure of office bjll,
which is of especial interest at pres
ent. Mrs. Hill said:
"This bill requires thB most care
ful study, as It involves a question
in which we should be interested, be
cause it concerns our schools and
our children. This organization is
composed of several thousand par
ents and teachers, and, of course,
there will be diversity of opinion
concerning this debatable question.
"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. So the thing
that unites us should be stronger
than the thing which separates us."
