Total levy in Port

Definitely fixed.
The tax levy within the limits of
. Portland next year will be more than
26 mills $2 on each $1000 of assessed
valuation. This year the levy was 23.10
mills, or $23.10 on each $1000. With the
city and school levies the largest ones
for Portland settled, there remains lit
tle hope of material reduction in the
total levy by the other branches of the
provernment supported in part by Port
land taxuveni. At nrtu.ni with ,r
eral levies not fixed definitely, the
prospects are for a levy of 26.51 mills
The state might shave off a trifle
irom tne present total figure, and the
county mirht do a. littt nr ih.
1,lt this pruning is not expected at this
lime to make a difference of more than
a. small fraction of one mill, if there is
any reduction at all.
If the levy stands at 26.51 mills it
will not be the largest levy Portland
una naa. dui it win be near it. A cou
pie or years ago the aggregate levy
was 37 mills. After that there was a
arop to 23.10 mills, and now a pros
pcctive jump in the opposite direction.
State Equalise Ptgurea.
During the ZT-mm year the state had
a system of throwing more than half
of the biennial appropriations of the
legislature into one year's -tax levy.
Now it is distributed over the two years
equally so that the rise and fall of the
state levy in alternate years is elim
inated
The increase next year will be due
first of all to the school district, then
to the City of Portland and finally to
, me county, or at least that is the pros
pect in the county budget at present.
The levy of the City of Portland
Shows an increase next year of. 1.42
mills over 1S15. This ia due princi
pally to the loss of liquor license reve
nue, which has to be made up by taxa
tion. The liquor license revenue in
1915 made up about 1.20 mills, which
for 1916 must be made a part of the tax
levy, lhe other city increases are due
to increased interest on the city's bond-
debt and to increased cost of operat
ing and to the appropriations for cer
tain large projects planned for 1916.
The school levy shows an increase of
1.6 mills. The levy for 1915 was !
mills.
County Levy Uncertain.
The county tax levy still is uncer
tain. Originally it waa planned to make
tne ievy for general purposes 2.5 mills.
Now the indications are that it will
have to be pushed up to 2.8 mills be
cause of a. number of special appro
priations. The road budget, as pre
sented by Roadniaster Yeon represents
a levy or 1.8 mills as compared with
1.6 mills for the present year.
The Port of Portland Commission has
virtually decided to make its levy one
mill even. This is a cut of one-tenth
of a mill from the present year. No
change is expected in the county library
levy or tne levy lor state or county
school purposes. With the state the
budget is tjtlll a matter or conjecture,
but no increase or decrease is looked
lor from the present levy of 3.S mills.
