Announcement was made by Judge Trenchard yesterday that the county aourt will probably make a county levy of 18 mill for the coming year. Last vear the county levy was 27 mills. The probable levy of 18 mills on the greatly increased valuation for the coming year will oring in a suguuy larger sum than was brought in last year by the levy of 27 nulls 00 the smaller valuation. The state tax for the ensuing year will be about $3000 larger, and hence this makes an ap preciable showing in the formation of the levy. Generally speaking the county court is evidently figuring on raising just about as much money for the year 1909 as it did for the year 1908. The following tabulated statement show the figures of the present year and for the ensuing year. 19C8 1909 City.... 18 10.8 School 12 7 County 27 18 including the estimated levy of 18 mills for the county, will therefore be 3S.8 mills, and the lower levy of the ensuing year is calculated to bring in just about as much money as the 57 mills of the present year. Because of the great amount of road building that is going on it is evident the members of the county court are not finding themselves able to get along with less money. The city levy is also as large for the coming year as for the present, and the school levy is only slightly less. It looks as .f the taxpayers will have to pay just about as much for the coming year, but in the county, it Is pointed out. the residents are getting in return system of roads not excelled in the State of Oregon.
