by which it agrees to seme in ac
cordance with the final outcome of the

ipany objects to tne nnaings or ine
commission, on the grounds that the
compensation fixed is not reasonable,
that the S.. P. & 8. company is not a
railroad insofar as its traffic Is con
sidered in connection with the cross
ing of the river under consideration.
ibecause the crossing is desired only
Jfor switching purposes, and that the
commisslon in making its award ex
ceeded its Jurisdiction.
The valuation of the entire briJgo

Washington, Nov. 16. (TJ. P.) Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo was

The shift according to Bourne, was
over $100,000,000.
Harvey Chase, a certified public ac

stead of more than $117,(00,000, as
McAdoo figured.
"Tbe statment issued by Bourne's

The county advisory budget commit
tee Is now preparing a formal recom
mendation to the board of county com
missioners. Indications are that the
levy for county purposes, if the report
of the budget committee la adopted
without change, will be S.45 mills, a re
duction tn mlllage of .65 mill from that
of the present year.
In reality, th reduction is much
greater, owing to the fact that the
total assessed valuation has been
reduced approximately $10,000,000.
Xoad Appropriation Keduoed.
The principal reduction Is In the ap
propriation for roads, which has been
fixed at 1.2 mills, a reduction of .4
mill over this year and .8 mill over
last year.
The mill age for the library and ad
ministration purposes Is the same as
that of this year. There Is a slight
reduction In the levy for schools.
Provision will be made in the ad
visory committee's report for the pos
sible contingency that the county
will repay litigants whose court fee3
were lost during the administration
of County Clerk Fields. For this
purpose $15,522.43 has been set aside
In the miscellaneous fund.
The ley of 1.2 mills for roads will
raise the sum of $390,000. To this
Is to be added $31,000 automobile tax
and $10,000 from the delinquent tax
list, making a total of $431,000 avail
able for the coming year. This is
$157,000 less than the amount asked
for by Roadmaater Yeon.
Action of Committee Unanimous.
The action of the advisory commit
tee was unanimous on all Items ex
cept that, of roads. A. W. Jones and
A. S. Benson favored awarding the
amount asked for by the roadmaster.
I They will probably file a minority
report with commissioners on this
subject
Motion Zs ZaOSt.
When the road budget was reached
A. W. Jones, the representative of or
ganised labor on the committee, moved
that the levy be fixed at 1.8 mills to
cover the amount aaked by the road
master, coupling with his notion the
recommendation that provision be
made to pave the Gresham-Fairview
j road and the relocation and grading of
the Canyon road within the city limits.
The motion, seconded by A. S. Benson,
was lost. Teal. Kiernan, McNaughton,
Martin and Reed voted against it
McNaughton then moved that the
levy be fixed at 1.2 mills. Reed of
fered an amendment making it 1.3
mills, but received no second. The
vote was taken on McXaughton's mo
tion with the following lesult: Tee
Teal, Kiernan, Reed, Martin and Mc
Naughton. No Benson and Jones.
Bequest TlrtnaUy Sealed.
On motion of McNaughton, the re
quest of Adjutant General White for
an appropriation of $100,000 for a new
armory was laid upon the table.
Other requests denied were the in
crease of the $1600 appropriation for
the Multnomah county fair; the ap
propriation of $1500 for a county agri
culturist; an appropriation of $10,000
for a parental school to be located on
the old county poor farm, and an in
crease of the county surveyor's bud
get from $4000, already allowed, to
$6000. Committeeman Jones suggest
ed that the salaries of Janitors at the
county courthouse be increased $5
each, but it was not favorably re
ceived. County Commissioner Holman and A.
L. Flah asked for the Improvement of
the Canyon road, former Mayor East
man of Gresham made a plea fcr the
hard surfacing of the Gresham-Fairview
road, John H. Hall pleaded for
the extension of the Base Line road,
and representatives of St. Johns asked
for the paving of the Columbia boul
evard. Hospital Situation Discussed,
To all these the committee, through
Chairman Teal, said that this was a
matter for the commissioners and road
master to determine. The only au
thority the committee had in the
premises was to recommend that so
much money be raised for the general
road fund.
The committee decided to recom
mend to the board of county commis
sioners the Investigation of the feasi
bility of abandoning the county hos
pital and having patients cared for at
the St Vincent's and Good Samaritan
hospitals until such time as the county
would be in a favorable position to
erect a new hospital.

Salem, Or., Nov. 18. The supreme
court today reversed one of its own
departments and Circuit Judge McGinn
of Multnomah county, and held that
an agreement on which J. W. Taggart
claimed a commission from J. N. Hun
ter and William Staatz for the sale of
timber lands in Crook county was void
because it did not state the consldera
tlon Taggart was to receive. In srriv
lng at th decision of today the court
sat en banc
Justice Benson wrote the opinion
handed down today and Justice Bean
who wrote the previous opinion, up
holding Taggart, dissented.
"However we may regard the stat
utes of our state, we' are not at liberty
to repeal them by interpretation," aid
Justice Benson in his opinion.
The court held today that a real
estate broker cannot recover unless he
has a written' memorandum, signed by
his employer, epecifvlnV the land he
is to sell and the compensation he is
to receive for the 6ale. The memoran
dum in the case was either lost or de
stroyed, and secondary evidence of its
contents was submitted.
Th court holds that because there
was no price stipulated for the services
of Taggart, the memorandum was not
sufficient to take the case out of the
statute of frauds.
