To this appropriation was at tached a condition that It was not to be used until after a definite plan of expenditure had ten made. No rec ommendation was made, as to where the hospital be erected. Two mem-- Iters of the committee, Frank Klernan . and' A.be Tlohenor, expressed -. them selves In favor of using- the three-acre Us of the present hospital rather than locating It on Marquana hill In connec tion With the proposed medical school. W. F.rUpniah,-another member of the committee, said that he was in favor ef the Marquam hill site. Katter for Oommls sioners.

' This amendment will become part of - the constitution as soon as. the vote east for and aginst it - is -officially, can vassed by the secretary of state and the eustomary proclamation Issued by the governor. It will apply to all tax levies made upon the assessed valua tion for the year 1916. By the terms of this amendment no larger amount of money may be levied by any taxing district in any year, except for the payment of bonded debt and Interest thereon, than the amount levied in the preceding year plus 8 -per cent unless authority so to 40 Is first granted hy rhs electors through an election. The amount of money levied upon the val uation for the year 1916 forms the base. In the performance of our duties we have glvtn due consideration to the presence in our organic law of the new tax limitation provision. Since the limitation applies to . the county as a taxing agency its effect is to consol idate the general and road funds and to require the total amount raised for eounty govern mont to be apportioned to general and," road purposes. It does not however, merge the county library funt Into the general county fund tor the reason that the former Is limltod to one half a mllupon the assessed valuation, irrespective of the amount of the valuation. Neither does It merge the oounty school fund Into the general fund as is a per capita tax, and the attorney general has held that it would be Contrary to the constitu tion to divert any part of the county school fund into the general fund. Of the consolidation of the general and road funds there is no doubt in the minds of the committee. Estimates and Expenditures. TVe estimate that the total amounts that will be required for the conduct of county government-for the year 1917 are as follows: General County... 4.... $942,660.01 Interest Bonded Debt 135,000.00 Iload Improvements , 894,839.99 First Unit County Hospital 100,000.00 Total $1,663,600.00 This is a decrease of $236.80.5.90 from the amount apportioned to the foregoing purpose for the year 1916, which was $1,798,106.90.
