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

Union avenue and there waits In the
rain and storm for any" of the regular
Burnslde street bridge or special trans
fer cars that have been put on to accom
modate traffic.
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? Has our
comfort any consideration, or Is the mere

thought of our executive board? .Ve pay

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:
