Council in Favor of $3,128,686
to Cover General Expenses
v for Xext Tear.
The 1923- budget, which Trill go to
the. tax supervision and conservation
commission next week, will contain
a total of $3,879,025 to be raised by
taxation. After concluding the con
ideration of the budgets of each
department late yesterday the coun
cil computed the various totals.
A resolution, required by law, was
adopted by the council, setting forth
the various amounts that the coun
cil seeks to raise by taxation.
A total of $3,128,686 is requested
to cover the- general expenses of the
city. Including the maintenance and
repair of sewers and paved streets.
This Includes 2 per cent for de
linquency. Pension Tax Included.
The council, in accordance with a
charter provision, has provided for
129,500 for the police mansion fund
and a like sum for the firemens'
pension fund. This sum is raised
by the levy of one-tenth of one mill
on each dollar of assessed valuation
of taxable property in the city of
Portland.
The council decided to include the
four-tenths of one mill levy author
ized for the purchase of land and
for the improvement of parks and
playgrounds. It is the plan of the
council to utilize this money, a total
of $59,000, for the purchase of the
Eastmoreland golf links. The city
has a large investment in the links
and inasmuch, as the links are now
on a self-supporting basis, members
of the council believe it wise for the
city to acquire ownership.
Sinking Knnd Provided.
Realizing that the general sinking
fund must be built up more rapidly
in the future than has been the
practice heretofore, the council this
year has provided seven-tenths of
one mill for this purpose. This, if
levied, will raise about $206,500.
Last year the city levied six-
tenths of one mill for the sinking
fund, but up to that time the city
had never levied more than four
tenths of one mill, a sum which the
city authorities admit was not ade
quate.
A sum of $366,839 has been placed
in the budget for the payment of
interest on bonded indebtedness, in
cluding bonds that already have
been issued and bonds that are
planned for ssue during 1923.
(59,000 For Bridges.
In addition, the council placed an
item of $59,000 in the budget to
care for the; cost of bridges else
where than lacross the Willamette
river, filling of streets across
gulches and .ravines and rights of
way overhead or underground
across railway tracks.
Provision was made that of this
sum not less than $15,000 shall be
expended for bridge construction
and $20,000 for the overhead or un
derground crossings.
MM FREES SUSPECT
CHARGE AGAINST ALLEGED
WET VIOLATOR DISMISSED.
Glenn Price, Slain Dry Agent,
. Was o Have Been Sole Wit-nessAgainst-Emmett
Beco.
Because Glenn Price, federal pro
hibition agent, was slain in the
jyerformance of his duty, the law
reluctantly released Emmett Beco,
alleged violator, in federal court
yesterday afternoon. Price was to
have been' the ole witness against
him.
"Joe's Cider Place," a north end
drinking nook, is operated by Beco
and rumors that all was not cider
turned, the attention of the federal
agent toward it. He bought two
drinks of moonshine from Beco, so
he reported, and the' second was
dashed from his hand by the re
tailer as ha made known his ident
ity. "Glenn cam into the office happy
at having the goods on Beco," said
Deputy Federal District Attorney
Baldwin, who moved dismissal of
the indictment. "He was always
that way, an enthusiast in his work.
And that night he left for Grande
Eonde. Well, he never came back,
as everyone knows, and though the
grand jury indicted Beco the prose
cution had only meager evidence
against him. We could not hope
to convict, for Price was our only
witness of moment."
Glenn Price was killed by Phillip
Warner, an Indian bootlegger, on
a street in Grand Ronde while
attempting an arrest. Jap Perry,
government informer, who is said
to have witnessed the sale by Beco,
is now held as a witness in the
case against the Indian, charged
with the murder of the federal officer.
STRIKERS ARE ENJOINED
Picketing by Lumber Plant at
Montesano Stopped by Court.
MONTESANO, Wash., Sept. 29.
(Special.) A temporary restraining
order was issued Wednesday after
noon by Judge Sheek in favor of
the Saginaw Lumber company
against certain former employes of
the company now on strike. The
order ' restrains the strikers from
picketing or otherwise interfering
with the workmen of the company
to prevent them from discharging
their duties. It commands the de
fendants to appear on October 7
to show cause why the emergency
restraining order should not be
made a temporary injunction.
It was "charged by the company
that the defendants, A. J. Duffy,
Krank Leedham, Harvey Lee, D. L.
Smith, Jim Fisk, J. Nehring and
about 10 others visited the homes
of Joe Nawrock and Steve Wolney
employes of the company, and
abused these men in the presence
of their families, threatening them
with bodily violence if they con
tinued at work. This caused the
men' to quit work.
