OPEN DRAWS AWNOY THOUSANDS Passenger Traffic Over the River Has Had Remarkably Rapid Growth. CAR SERVICE CAN HARDLY ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE Periods of Congestion When Long Lines of Cars Await Pleasure of Shipping. Residents of Portland do not appre ciate the Immensity of passenger traffic over the river until they observe the throng of men and women pouring from one transfer car to a:thcr on East Burnslde street or at First and Wash ington streets. Eacn morning from 7 to 8 o'clock the crush between Orand and tinion avenuea on Burnslde street Is terrific. lit Tabpr, BunByslde. Kaat Ankeny, Montavllla.

At times the cars will be held up by the opening of the draw, as a fleet of steamboats are going and coming at the houra when passengers over the bridge are most numerous. When the string of street crs arrive, there la a wild scrambh for place. The first two or three are filled to the running board alongside, and rows of them cling to the rails, needles" of the pouring rain if they are able to get across the bridge quickly to their work. With the usual perversity of nrrslr. a log raft or two or tli.-ee steamboats demand that the draw be opened when the throng Is be lated. Then the patient east slder ex presses himself: 'Has the public any rights?

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE FIGURES Immense Amount of Work for Clerks in Preparing Tax Statements. . ROLLS MUST BE EXTENDED TO VERY LAST FRACTION State School Tax Need Not Be as High as Was First ' Expected. Imposition of a tax levy of 9H mills for the city of Portland will make an Immense amount of work for the eoun ty officials in figuring the aum to be charged against the Individual taxpay ers. In order to make the rolls balance, the computation must be carried cut to the last decimal point, so thst in many Instances a petty tax against a small piece of property will require four or five figures beyond the decimal, an ex ample being one for f 1.09(76, which will be actually collected aa f 1.10, but which must be carried out oy the deputies on the rolls to the last figure. The depu ties are groaning over the large amount of time that will be required to extend the rolls. Another thing that will delay the final extension ot the tax rolls Is the ne cessity of waiting until the secretary of state sends In the levy for the state tax. The law requires that the state levy be made upon the hasl of the aver age expenditures In the various coun ties during the five years preceding. A new average must be made this year, so that the secretary of state will be compelled to await' receipt from tho county clerks 'of their reports of ex penditures for the year 1904 before the state tax can be determined It was discovered today that the state school tax need not bn more' than 1.8 mills, instead or 5 mills, as has been thought heretofore. Under the law, 'per capita ralaed fbr state school must be the same as In 190S, when the valua tion waa ttl,OS,roo. This year the valuation la 1(6.427.577. hence instead of 6 mills, 4.8 mills will ufnce. In pre vious estimates 5 mills has been thought to be the needed levy for state school. A curious feature of the school tax levies Is that some districts under a B mlli tax raise more money than they know what to do with and several dla trlcts have been compelled virtually to make a preaent to the teachers or per mit the money raised for the districts to revert to the general fund to be divided among other districts the fol lowing year. The per capita last year was $9,082 for 28.169 pupils and for this year there were 29.704. With changes made according to the lesser state school levy thought to be needed and placing the city levy at the correct figures, 9H mill nntead of 9.6. the previous estimates f the total tax for 1906, are changed to: Stat. mills state School. 4.8: county.
