LUTON SIDE GIVEN Finances of Town Misrepre sented, Avers Writer. ANNEXATION IS ADVOCATED 3kfr. Iie-k"s Figures, Concurred In by Portland Council. Culled IxmiiI cd With terrors uud Un fair Deductions. PORTLAND. May 23. (.To the Kd ltor.) The Telesram credits Ijnnton with a population of 1165. This was the census taken six months before the town obtained its charter, and no one car. say on that basis what was the population then within the town's pres ent limits, as enlarged from the orig inal boundaries. That was five years ago, nnd with t lie increase in popula tion, the town should have credit tor a conservatively estimated population now of at leat 2000 persons. Thanks to the Telegram's successful campaign against the liquor traffic, IJnntou will lose next year about $o000 in license revenurs. Portland's loss on this account will" be proportionately creator and the deficit will be made up from a slightly increased tax levy, but the Telegram should be the last to utter any complaint on this score. The Telegram's purported statement of Iilnnlon's financial condition may have been taken in part from official figures, but in its entirety it is so In explicably mixed with errors, guesses and unfair deductions that an expert accountant would have, difficulty in harinoni.ing it with the town's official records. Tuwi'i KlnanY-it Analysed. For elucidation of the Telegram's financial statement discrediting Iinn to:i, reference is made to the accom panying analysis of the town's finances. Appended to the published sample form of ballot to be used at the Port land city election In voting on the ques tion of annexing l.innton to Portland is a statement purporting to show the resources and liabilities and financial condition of the Town of Linnton. which statement is so heavily loaded with errors and unfair deductions that a presentation of some facts is in order to malio the showing correspond with truth and fairness. The published statement bears the Htamp c.r approval of the City Council of Portland from a report compiled" by City Commissioner tieck. as chairman of a committee whose opposition to the annexation proposition is well known and coincides very peculiarly with the antagonism of certain corporation in fluences. yil.i:tr.74 Act Omitted. In the exhibit of assets and liabili ties the published statement, based on liiiures furnished by the Town Coun cil of Iiinnton, omits the important Item of uncollected taxes amounting to jl4, 135.71. It Is apparent that Commis sioner Ileck"s xealousness to discredit 1-innton has overshot tho mark. This omitted Item added to the difference between assets and liabilities of Llnn ton on May 1, makes the town's net assets ?44.a61.22. whereas Commissioner Klerk's production leaves the reader to figure out for himself the town's net assets. Again. Commissioner Pieok's effu sion in figures, which was concurred in by the Portland Council, evidently w Ithout deliberation upon the official statement before the body, omits $2950 as the probable revenues of Unnton for the remainder of this year, making, .with the $U.13.-.74 of uncollected taxes, I17.0S5.74 with whlcii to pay the towns estimated expenses until I 'ei ember 31, assuming annexation would not occur. Distance 4t. -o 7 Mile. ' In passing. It should be noted that, cn Commissioner rieck"s report the City Council publishes as a Tact thr.t from the Inlon Depot In Portland to the center of l-iiniton the distance is seven miles, and that from the city boundary to I.lnnton is five mile.'.' The fact is, and official maps show it. that from the Union Depot to the center ot Unnton it is four and one-half miles. It Is ono and one-hulf miles from the Union Depot to the boundary between Portland and I-innton and three miles additional from there to the center of I .Inn ton. This Is a" relatively smati matter, but the City Commissioner, who is so violently opposed to I.lnnton be coming part of Portland, is by pro fession presumed to be' one who per sists in proceeding along lines of ex actness. Kurther. the statement of the Fort- land Council, which It should be re peated was accepted as the result of Commissioner Dieck's investigations, sets out that it would have been neces sary to raise by tax levy $25,171.92 in 1W14, based on Portland's levy, but the fact is only $20,970.60 was necessary to be raised by taxation for last year's expenses. Tax L.ex 7.5 Mills. I.lnntoft'g tax levy for municipal pur poses last year was 7.5 mills, slightly lower than Portland's, while for the current year the levy was 10 mills, the increase being to pay for constructing the waterworks system beyond the sum realized from the original bond Issue of $100,000. There will be no necessity for levying more than 6 mills next year. If annexation fails, to carry on the town government, making full al lowance for the loss of revenues from liquor licenses after the end of this year. It is certain that next year's assessed valuations in Linnton w ill ex ceed $4,000,000, compared with $3,269. 080 for this year, llight now Linnton b.as as much assessed valuation per capita as Portland has. Another fact that should have been brought out by way of comparison is that tax levies for all purposes this year in Linnton were 21.6 mills, as against 23.1 mills in Portland, a dif ference of 114 mills In Linnton's favor. In 1913 the difference was 5 mills in Linnton's favor, the town's levy alone being 7.10 of a mill lower than Port land's city tax rate. Water System Held Asset. It is true thai Linnton is paying Portland $1200 yearly for the privilege of connecting with tho Bull Hun pipe line, plus 'S61.65 as the yearly interest at 6 per cent on the cost of extending the 16-inch pipe from Twenty-sixth and Nicolai streets to the city boundary. In addition Linnton pays meter rates for nil water used, the rates being higher than prevail in Portland. Linn ton's water distributing system is worth to Portland all it has cost the town, if annexation be accomplished, and the system should be regarded as an asset, rather than an incumbrance, as some, opponents would have the vot ers believe. Linnton will benefit from absorption by Portland and Portland will benefit also. The advantage of annexation will be mutual. Linnton is now a valuable resource to Portland and the valuations of tax able property in the suburb will In crease more rapidly because of its six miles of river frontage than will al most any other part of Portland. The entire u. stion of annexation should be treated in a broad, liberal and fair spirit. Portland cannot grow In importance and giin further pres tige by treating Its suburbs inconsid erately.

The Troubadours will be seen in a musical skit, "The Spanish iieriorita." which serves as a medium to introduce all the late popular songs in - choral numbers. Railway Being Conntrueled. A gigantic telescope has just been erected at the Oaks, and it Is believed will prove a popular feature. Construction has begun on the min iature steam railway, which will tra verse the entire grounds of the Oaks. Owing to transportation troubles, the submarine has not yet arrived, but tel egrams received last night said it was finally en route. Undoubtedly the most popular fea ture of the park is the new water ride, the Mystic Ilivcr, which has even drawn people out to the Oaks in the rain. Iast Sunday it proved the biggest hit in the concession line, even drawing UNITED ARTISANS IN FIVE SERIES OF BALLETS. i V, .! - V 1 3ir ' c - e -UfS. 1 - V V j ' J " -e N . t "Tlx - fcfDIIII laaYnn.
