Although but 20 days have elapsed since the collection of taxes for the current year was taken up, the bal ance sheet In the tax collecting depart ment of the Sheriff's office showed that $375,000 had been taken in up to 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This is nearly 1100,000 more than was paid in by the taxpayers of Multnomah County during, the corresponding period of last year. Only by the correspondence system now conducted by Sheriff Stevens and his chief deputy in the tax depart ment. S. B. Martin, can a most incon venient and perplexing congestion be avoided. Ask for your statements by mail, is the request made by Mr. Mar tin. While hundreds of taxpayers are now taking advantage of the mail sys tem, yet there is an unusual number following the old method of standing in line by the hour awaiting tax pay ments. "Taxpayers can save themselves a world of inconvenience by mailing their requests," said Mr. Martin in dis cussing the tax rush. "AH that Is nec essary is to jot down the number of the lot and block and the name of the addition where the property is located. For that matter, it can be sent In on a postcard. Two special forces of clerks work all night responding to these communications with Itemized state ments of what is due. "While there is a large force at work all day, yet they cannot expect to pre vent congestion if people call for their statements. It takes considerable time to prepare a statement in the first place, and then there is often added delay because of difficulty in locating a given piece of property on the tax roll. Those who wish may pay their taxes by mail, merely forwarding the amount due after receiving a formal statement. It Isn't really necessary to go to the' slightest Inconvenience in disposing of what might be made a troublesome task in paying taxes." Of the amount received from the tax payers to date Sheriff Stevens has turned over about $180,000. On Tues day an additional $125,000 will be turned over to the Treasurer. The tax collections are being turned over once each week. Prompt payment is another point which taxpayers should not lose signt of. While the taxes are the highest this year of any time In the past, ye It is possible to get a rebate of 3 pei cent by paying previous to March 15 After April 1 a penalty attaches ltsel ol 10 per cent. speaker during the famous campaign of W.

OtC "If the fine work continues coming In large packages as it has for the past week, we will prohably have an ad ditional open-air gallery on the roof for our exhibition early in March." This is what Joseph Jacobberger, president of the Portland Architectur al Club, said at the Museum of Art, yesterday. Drawings, photographs, water colors and sketches were stacked three or four deep around the gallery where they are placed after being unpacked, Vvaitlng for, the exhibition committee. consisting of Architects Lawrence, Lazarus. Whitehou.se, Linde and Jacob berger, to pass upon them and select a representative lot for the purpose of being reproduced in the year book and catalogue. The committee had three sessions at the galleries last week for this purpose. E. F. Lawrence, when asked why the club went to so much trouble and ex pense to bring In out-of-town work, replied: "We know that everyone en joys beautiful things. Some of the work may not be beautiful, but we think it is all Interesting. We are trying to show the public what, some of the leading architects In the. United States are doinjr or have done. The simplest way whs to ask the leading designers of the country for collec tions of their work. "We have picked out some of the men noted for thfMr country houses, others for their church work, and some who design skyscrapers, rathskoliars, or clubhouses; also interior decorators, stained glass, terra colt.'i, tiles, light ing fixtures. manufactures and sculptors asking for an exhibition of their work. "In this way we will show the work of many men illustrating designs In nil periods and styles from the pure classic to modern art muveau. We are not trying to educate the archi tect by having the exhibition, hut we are endeavoring to get the general public to apruciate better things archi tecturally." K. F. Lawrence, chairman of the ex hibition committee, left yesterday for San Francisco anil Los Angeles, where he will interest the architects in the convention to be held at the opening of the exhibition, and endeavor to get them to attend or to send samples of their work.
