The Taxpayers League
Frames Three Bills
Limits Expenditures "to Levy and
Holds the Commission
ers Liable.
The' Taxpayers' League ha framed
three uUdltionai bills, which ltavy been
given to the Multnomah delegation. Th
bills all relate to the coupty.
The first bill seeks to limit the expen
ditures to the amount of the annual lev
for such purposes. It has been the cut
torn heretofore for th County Court
to set th estimate for th expenditure,
and to make a levy accordingly at so
many mill on th dollar of valuation,
and then to disregard the levy, spend
more than was allowed,- and lsu war
rants for the payment of same. This bill
seeks t hold ths county commissi!
liable for any excess expenditures.
text of th bill is a follows;,,
COMMISSIONERS LIABLE
"Section . I .Th Bounty expenditures
hall be confined to th amount of the
annual levy therefor; and member of
th County Court or Bogrd of County
Commissioners, or any other count offi
cial, wlxy shall authorise, Inctu-, ; cause or
create or officially approve any; expense
or liability for the county In excess of
the amount,; of the- levy that may have
been mad,for county expenditures here
inafter denned, shall be jointly and sev
erally noble,' individually ant personally,
fof the amount of such excess. County
expenditures shall Include road, bridges
and ferries, support of pojpr and interest
w(-'wairra1fCTwIl -'a the usual and
ordinary expense of tftw county govern
ment and salaries, heretofore Included,
in the classifications of county tax and
road tux, but ahull not Include school,
park library or bounty tax.
"Sec. 2. Th County Court or Board of
County Commissioners may, It they deem
ft necessary, order and direct a special
levy to be made 'of not exceeding one
half mill on each dollar of valuation to
raise funds to meet any unforeseen con
tingency which, in their judgment, should
be dealt with in order to prevent serious
loss or injury to th county. The funds
thus raised shall be set apart and used L
ior suun contingency only.
"Sec. 3. All acts or part of act .in
conflict with the provision of this act
are hereby repealed."
SALARIES REDUCED.
Another bill directs a blow at the sal
ary of the county- commissioners, -seeking"
to require them to work for every
day' pay.. ThJ will materially reduce
their salaries, "as iV has been the custom
of late .years-to-pay -&' eniwsBWtrir
3 per dji-m regardless of whether be did
anything for the county. - Holiday and
Sundays were counted, also, thus making
the salaries of the county commissioners
quite to be sought after, .
Another provision of the bill Is that
all purchases of. supplies which exceed
1100 shall be advertised, and given. to the
lowest bidder. Another provision stipu
lates that all advertisements shall b
given out for' bids, and, shall go to th
lowest responsible newspaper bidder. The
newspaper would be known aa th county
Official paper. It would have to be pub
lished within the county, and have a
general circulation among th population
of the county.
ADVERTISING CONTRACTS.
The third bill 1 identical with the pro
ceding one, except section 1, which Is s
follow:
'Sec. 2. All contracts for official ad
vertising. Including notice of sale of prop
erty for delinquent taxes, shaH. be let

Change"' ol Specifications ' In Dry-
dock Construction-Levy ,
, of Special lax.
' Now that th vexing problem of th
DUlidtng- or the drydock ha been ttid.
the Port of Portland Commission has
other problem to handle. For this pur.
pose a meeting I tn progress thl after
noon. -Tho purpose of calling th meet
ing I to consider a section In the paci
fication -of th drydock which mignt p
construed In two way. This section re
fers to the building of a transverse can.
ter bulkhead. ,
la addition, other matter will come up.
the most important of which is that rela
tive to the selection of an engineer for
th drydoek to til the vacancy caused by
th resignation of Mr, Blackwcll, of Beat
tie. Tber r quit a . few application
for thl position, but it seems probable
that an Eastern man will be th suc
cessful person. . The commissioners are
reticent on this subject, but admit that
there ar several applications, and that
the Eastern man Is favored.
An additional matter, which will be dis
cussed which is of some Importance, is
that of the manner In which ; money
should be raised to pay for the construc
tion of th new dredge, It scows, tender,
etc... Tal 4n4btednss amounts to about
$230,000. A law passed by th Legislature
states that, this Indebtedness should ba
met by one special tax to be levied on
the -dlstrlot -of the Port of Portland. This
the - commission wishes ..changed, to five .
taxes going over a period of five years.
The reason for this . change 1 that the
people- should not be overtaxed in one-
year-., ,- k
