Pendleton, Or., Nov. It. Ae a conse
quence of the flood of last aprlng and
the high water that came over parta of
Umatilla county yesterday doing con
siderable damage to brldgea and roads,
it Is Inevitable that the tax levy will be
higher next year than this. According
to Assessor C. P. Strain, tha cdunty haa
expended MO.OOO on roads and bridges
since the. May flood, and It will require
at leaat a mills higher levy than last
year. The county tax st present Is te
mills. Also there Is a probability of a
higher city levy next year, ahould the
charter be changed so aa to permit of
the same. - In .order to meet tha ex
penses of levy repairs snd street work
the limit of Indebtedness wfll have to
be extended, higher taxea levied, or else
