During the session of the county
court yesterday the minutes of th
district road meeting at Necamcum
istrict No. 14 were read, and they
contained some spicy remarks in the
nature of slams.
John Vollmer moved," say the
minutes, "that whereas, the supervisor
of our district has continually taken
money which was voted for one part
of the district, to pay for work done
in another part of the district, and as
this ia altogether wrong, end as we
resent it, therefore I (Mr. Vollmer)
move: To levy no special tax in or
der to teach the supervisor of Clat
sop county a lesson, end to show the
honorable county court that the tax'
payers resent the high-handed pro
rtimrs of the court to monkey with
the taxpayer decisions."
This was signed by Henry Hill,
supervisor who is apparently the su
pervisor who was being slammed, and
by Herman Ahlers, secretary. There
were 20 voted for the censure and for
no levy, and six the other way.
Evidently the county court was in a
quandary whether to treat the mat
ter with levity, or a seriously as it
wa originated, and t,he court ended
by treating it seriously. An order was
spread on the minutes declaring that
the accusation was "false," end .that
the court is "of the opinion that th
majority of the voters were mislead
by false statement."
Meantime Necamcum district No.
14 will have no special levy for hs
roads, and upon the theory that yoo
can catch more flies with sugar than
with vinegar, it may not be amiss to
guess that there won't be very much
of the general fund applied there this
coming year, and meantime the coun
ty record also standi in black end
white that the slams ere "false" which
is evidently meant as a retort both
courteous end direct ,.. ..
It was in the Necanicnm district
that there has been a sort of sectional
warfare, in which it is alleged by
some that one part of the district is
fighting the other part and that the
Finns have gotten the worst of it.
The court aproved the following
levies:
New Astoria
cr.itian the increase in state taxes,
providing the estimates as announced
in a recent dispatch from Salem arc
correct, the expense of a county high
school, a county library and other
additional expenses, a levy of 13
mills is expected to cover the Sam
For the purpose of improving tl
court house grounds, putting a ce
ment floor in the basement of tit
tourt house and paying he small
amount of outstanding warrant, a
levy of one and one-half mills will be
sufficient- While the court has not
received a report of the number cf
school children in the county end Is
compelled to estimate the same, it
finds a levy of three end one-half
mills will.be sufficient, making a total
of 18 mills for county, state, school
and court house purposes, as against
27 mills last year."
A week from yesterday the court
will meet end will then make the
levy, providing the state tax has been
definitely ascertained. . j

diture by the city, the payments

This is a good sum to be spent on
the improvement of,trecU in one
year, end it Illustrates well the
amount of this excellent work that

in one department or another, and are
worthy of inspection:

the routine resources of the city, and
this also shows some interesting fig
ures. , The largest single source
routine income is from saloon
censes. The sum of $20,800 was se
cured in this way, including both
wholesale and retail, though the total
sum trom tne wnoiesaie licenses
comparatively very small. Licenses
upon teamsters aggregated the tidy
sum of $2401. The total secured from
all licenses, sundry and saloon, was
$25,146.-
