Six mlUi will be tha rlty lax levy for ! next year, onlca the Council at Ita (pa clai session Wednesday morning ebui'i tha figures agreed upon by tha traya and mana commute at a meeting yeatarday afternoon. Tha committee want through tha barfget prepared by tha Mayor, and although slight changes wera mada In . Individual funds, the total levy, as agreed , xspon. will ba exactly what the Mayor recommended. The t-mtll levy, based upon an aa aaaaed valuation of t2&00e.u- of prop erty, will bring the city a total revenue by mean of taxation ot S1.M&.W0. This la appaaxlmately e-AwS more than the Mayor had estimated In bla budget would the total revenue, for alnre bla budget wax prepared it waa found that the rl:y ran safely eatlmate on at leaat il,OOO.o'0 ' mora assessed valuation on property than was estimated at the time he pre pared bis ngurea. That the city will enjoy a total In ereaae In the assessed valuation of prop erty within Ita limits over the aaaeaaed valuations of a year ago of mora than iW.tttf.ut was determined by. tba county authorities two daya ago. These figures are not definite, aa the aaaessment on . franchise a. which will be made by the state, have not been determined. It Is estimated that the assessment of fran chises will amount to about tl.j.0io for the City of Portland, and this will be added to the total of other aaaeaamenta prepared by the county, amounting to S34Xi.21&. ' Thus the total aaaeaament for tna city. Including the estimated assess ments on franchises, will ba a Uttle more than rm.OM.OJ0i In Oxlng the levy. It la necessary to allow for a, deduction of about 4.S per cent to cover the reductions allowed to taxpayers who pay at an early date and for the amount that will never be col lected through various reasons. Thus the tax levy waa based upon a total valu ation of ti.MUi Instead of 1371.000.0ilo. Tba chief difficulty that both the com mittee and the Mayor have bad to con tend with la bow to get money for tha general fund, for which the charter does not permit a tax to be levied. From thla fund the street-cleaning and aprlnkllng must be paid, and thla expense baa grown to such an amount that tha reve nue from licensee and other minor things can hardly be made to cover It. That the Council might not be be met with the same difficulty for next year, the committee, upon motion of Council man Baker, authorised the City Attor ney to prepare a charter amendment, to be presented to the votera at tba next election, providing for a tax tor the ex pense of street cleaning and aprlnkllng. It was the opinion of Mr. Baker that If the people do not adopt the amendment It would be an tmpoeatblllty to clean tha treats properly after the coming year. There waa much doubt expressed at the meeting yesterday .that the city could -ay for having all the paved streets In the city cleaned next year. Varloua feature of the Mayora rec ommendations received careful consider ation, but the only changes wera In re gard to the fire and police funds. Theaa resulted In making the fire fund .06 of a mill more than the Mayor bad recom mended and making a corresponding re duction In the Mayor's recommendation for the police fund. The Mayor bad rec ommended for the police fund a 1.1 mill levy on Kta.OOO.0OO to insure a revenue Crf $37 C00. Tha recommendation of the committee for a levy of Lis mill on 13a. oo.ooo win make tha police fund amount to tCTOO. and thus the change for that fund waa not material, while the Increase tor the fire fund waa of much Import ance. Councilman Menefee came before the committee and asked that an allowance te made In the apeclal bridge fund for a aum sufficient to permit the beginning of construction of the Twenty-first-atreet bridge across Sullivan's Gulch. The committee believed at first that this could be granted, but later determined that It waa necessary to keep with the Mayor's recommendation on the matter. By tha additional levy for the Klre Department, the committee waa allowed to provide $1.00 for erecting a new engine house at aome place to ba se lected near tiie taoepltale. and for an other house at the same price In Ken llworth. lavld Campbell, chief of the fire department, said that there waa no place In the city more In need of tetter tire protection than tha district gurroundlng the hospitals. When It waa suggested by tha com mittee that the Meyor'a estimate for tha park fund be cut. the Mayor, who was present by Invitation, remonstrated and said that ha wax thoroughly In Xavor of plenty of parka and play groumU tor the children of the city. Councilman Rushlight agreed with him In this, and It waa finally decided to let the park fund remain aa tba Mayor had fixed It. It la not believed that tha budget, aa prepared, will arouse any oppoaltlon la the Council, and that It will be ap proved without any attempted changea. Some of the departmenta have com plained that the levy aa auggeated by ' the Mayor waa not aufftclent for them. HUMIDORS. Ton 11 get a box of Havanaa for Christmas, sure.
