SHR LITTLE fMY - Oil ITS ROADS WESTPORT DISTRICT HAS MADE NO LEVY FOR LONG TIME, RECORDS SHOW. Ab inspection of the records in the flke of the. county clerk pertaining to the levies made by the various road districts in Clatsop county shows some interesting facts. But they show nothing more peculiar than the fact that the Westport district, No. ,11, has not levied a single mill f taxation for its roads the last four or five years. That is, each year i: lat made no district levy for roads. While comparatively little money las been spent there by the county out of the general fund, still the fact remains that each year the county has been compelled to spend some money out of the general fund in the Westport district, about $900 in the past four or five years. The district last year was given a valuation of $229274 a pretty rich district, evi dently. Even . the rich Warrenton district last year made only a five mill levy, Ferhaps the Westporters would retort by saying that the taxes they pay into the general fund would more than offset what is paid back out of that fund, but that leaves them paying little or nothing for the rest of the county roads. At the request of the state engi neer, an account of the money ex pended during the past two years by this county upon its roads, has been sent to hint. The figures are also very interesting, and are as follows: 1907 Special fund $3S.5SO General fund .... 18,645 , Total $54,225 Special fund . General fund Total ..... ...$28.8TS ... 59.3S9 ....$SS,267 In 1907, it will be observed, the special fund was quite large in comparison with the general fund, while in 1908 the special fund was quite small, while the general fund expenditures grew very large. In the two years Clatsop county has ex pended about $142,492 on its county roads altogether, , . v, ... $35 and $40 Tailored Suits $17.50 $20 arid $25 Tailored Suits $11.75 We announce this our final clear ance sale of new fall tailored suits for women and misses.
