car line on Alberta street from Bait
Thirteenth street to JUnsworth avenue
In taking this action it la Intimated that
the mayor was influenced by a belief
that the franchise cloaked a schema to

which the proposed, line was to' tap, pay
double fare to get Into or out of the
city, , t v
"It waa charged In the council at one
time Mr. XV B. Holbrook was connected
with the Portland Railway, Light
rower company and that he wanted
Jhe franchise, not for himself but for

T.h mayor points out to the council
tnat ine franchise ordinance as asked
for and passed would give the Holbrook
company the right to charge one whole
fare on the new line, though when the
patrons changed to one of the regular
street car lines -they would be forced
to pay another nickle. The ordinance

BRIDGE SANDY
WITH STEEL
Preliminary drawings for a new steel
bridge ever the Sandy river at Trout-
dale have been prepared by County Sur
veyor Holbrook and Road Superintend
ent Chapman. It is expected that the
county commissioners will order the
building" of the bridge next summer,
when the river is lowest, as the present
wooden brldgs over tn . stream
has
about lived out its time.
It is proDaDie tnai tne
bridge will
cost IS0.000 or more,-although this is
a mere estimate. When the time comes
to build, bids will ba called for. The
plans tentatively considered call for a
structure, of steel with concrete Piers.

SCAN CITY AND
Taxpayers to Examine Ex
penditures for Bridges
and Usual Items.
Within the next 10 days it is ex
pected that a meeting of the Taxpayers'
League will be called to discuss , the
city and county budgets for the com
ing year. Several large expenditures of
the public funds have been proposed for
the coming year, and the members of
the league are studying over the figures
of city and county finances. A letter
to the members has been Issued by
President Frederick W. Mulkey and
Secretary I 3. Ooldsmitn, In which fig
ures bearing on the tax levy and the
standing obligations of the local gov
ernment bodies is set forth.
First the letter shows that the as
sessed valuation of property In the
county grew from $58,000,000 in 1905
to 1233,000,000 in 1908, and that the rat
fell from 40 mllles to 14.2 mills, while
the amount derived in taxes each year
was 2,itw,miu in iut, fx.oii.ouu in
1906, 12,178,000 in 1907, and $3,180,000
in 1908. The total of the 1909 tax roll
Is estimated at 1248,000,000.
What Direct Tax Must Meet.
Outstanding bonds of the City of
Portland, November 1, 1908, on which
Interest is met by direct tax, amount
to 12,826,500. the annual Interest being
iiti.zvo. Tne water Donas total iz.
900,000, with an annual Interest of
1145,000 paid from the water rates.
School district No. 1 is liable for $390,
000 tn bonds, and the Interest charge is
$1S,490. On $900,000 indebtedness of
the Port of Portland there is $39,600 to
be met in interest. The total interest
charge to be met by taxation, therefore,
Is $199,860.
The letter then makes a showing of
the city bonds on which interest has to
be cared for by direct taxation. Under
this head ace the pipe line, meters, etc..
$3,000,000 park sna boulevard $1,000,
000, dock bonds $600,000, Madison-street
bridge $460,000, and flreboat and mains
$276,000. The total interest is $209,000,
There Is also $30,000 Interest on the
principal of the Port of Portland bond
Issue, but the statement points out that
this, as well as the dock bonds, should
be met from the use of the utilities pro
vided. Bridge Proivded For.
Summary shows that the total obliga
tions amount to $12,741,000, and that
$888,260 must be met In interest by di
rect tax. Then a table Is given of
"proposed unusual expenditures," esti
mating $2,000,000 or more for a bridge
for north Portland, $1,000,000 or more
for a brldgo for South Portland. $125,
000 for increase in teachers' salaries,
and unknown sums for a new court
bouse and county hospital.
When the meeting of the league is
held committees will be named to re
view th figures and make recommenda
tions to the public bodies that fix th
tax levy.
