Tardiness to Tune of Over $?,
. . 000,000 Difficult to Explain
at This Particular Time. -
VARIOUS VIEWS STATED
One Says Neglect, Another Says
Extravagance; Total fs Largest
' Ever Noted in County.
Multnomah county officials were
at a total loss today to explain the
large tax delinquency amounting to
slightly over $1,000,000, which was
announced Thursday by E. S. Huck
aby, chief deputy in the tax collect
ing department. '
It came as a complete surprise to
practically all of them, and the fact that
it is the largest delinquency ever re
corded In this county, coming during ap
parently prosperous times, caused con
siderable comment.
"t haven't the least idea why It should
have occurred. Everybody seems to have
plenty of money." said Ralph W. Hoyt,
chairman of the county commissioners,
when asked about the matter today.
. "I knew the payments had been slow,"
lie said, "but thought that the .rush of
the last few days preceding October 6
had more than balanced the. earlier
tardiness,"
"I didn't think the delinquency this
year would be bo large as It was last
year." said County Commissioner A. A.
Muck. .
"Can't account for It in any way un
less the people are too buy buying auto
mobiles and other luxuries," said Chief
Deputy Tax Collector Huckaby.
"Neglect is the only way I can ac
count for It. nothing at present war
rants such a delinquency," said County
Assessor, Henry Reed.
The 1918 tax roll amounted to $9,807,
654.18. Of this amount only $8,808,813.53
had been paid by October 6, leaving a
'balance of $1,000,840.63 or 10.2 per cent
of the totat. The delinquency last year
was $578,000 of the tax roll, or only C.S
ver cent.
COUNTY ALTOS DISCUSSED
. Physician States His Work Would
Require Two Cars.,
County Physician Harry R. Cliff in
formed the county commissioners this
morning that his department will need
two automobiles for the coming year at
a cost of $3000 each, if the present sys
tem of transportation by privately owned
automobiles is abolished.
At the present time Dr. Cliff operates
his own automobile, as does the assist
ant county physician. Dr. Hess. The
county pays all tire, oil and gasoline
bills of both machines.
8d far this year bins ror Cliffs ma
chine have cost the county $473.49. It
has cost $318.51 for the operation of the
machine of Dr. Hess.
Change in the present system of auto
Jnobile transportation for county offl
vfcers hinges upon the suit, of John T.
Kaste to restrain the payment of gaso
line bills incurred by them in the opera
tion of thelr privately owned automo
biles. 1 Earl J. Good, formerly a member of
the Oregon state legislature and recent
ly returned from service overseas, was
appointed superintendent of elections
this morning by the Multnomah county
commissioners at a salary of $150
month. The position' lasts for a period
of three months.
Increases In salaries of employes in
the various county, departments will t
held in abeyance by the commisisoners
. until the budget for the coming year has
been determined. In order that the board
may know what funds are available.
