Five Mills City Tax.
The city council met in special session
Saturday night. The object for which
the meeting was called was to consider
the matter of levying a city tax for the
current year, and Mayor Menefee stated
the purpose of the meeting to the fol
lowing councilmen : Messrs. Lauer,
Wood, Thompson, Nolan, Ross and
Saltmarshe. Evidently the matter' had
been well considered in the mind of each
councilman before coming to the meet
ing, as there was little hesitancy in ar
riving at a conclusion. When the esti
mates needed for tbe year had been read,
Mr. Nolan moved that a tax of five mills
be levied upon all city rropertv. Mr.
Thompson seconded the motion, and it
quickly passed the council. According
to the certificate of County Clerk Kel
say, .the total amount of taxable prop
erty in Dalles City is $1,090,644. A five-
mill tax will yield an income of $5,453,-
22. The estimate, which has been pre
pared, of the expenses for 1896 ia as
follows :
Interest on' bonds 3,420 00
Current expenses on basis of
expenses for tbe last 6 mos. 7,577 16
Total., $10,997 16
To meet these estimated expenses of
$10,997.16 it is expected revenues will be
received as follows :
Tax of 5 mills on $1,090,644 $5,453 22
Liquor licenses 5,000 00
Incidentals . . . 2,000 00
Total expected revenue .$12,453 22
This will leave a balance, if the reve
nues and disbursements prove as esti
mated of $1,456. The council could have
added to the tax levy three-twentieths
of one per cent for the payment of inter
est on bonds. . In this way an additional
revenue of $1,635,96 could have been ob
tained. The additional levy was, bow
ever, thought unnecessary.
The only other action taken by the
council jras the giving of permission to
Mr. Saltmarshe and his neighbors to
lay a crosswalk on Second street, near
the East End.
The work of the evening was quickly
and satisfactorily accomplished, and so
the council " adjourned some to their
homes, some to the Commercial Club,
and all of them hoping the expenses of
the year would prove smaller than the
estimate and the revenues larger.
Makes a Good Showing-.
It is not yet a year Bince The DalleB
put its city finances upon a cash basis ;
or rather, by the issuance of bonds, re
deemed all . outstanding warrants and
declared that hereafter claims against
the city would be paid in cash, and in
cidently it was understood that the city
government would; be run with the
greatest economy consistent with good
administration. In the minds of many
citizens it was believed the new system
would work satisfactorily; and the re
port which has been made by the city
officers, Ehow that this belief was justi
fied.
It has been ascertained that for the
six months preceding January 1, 1896,
the receipts of the city other than taxes
and liquor licenses, were $1,076.67, or an
average "of $179.45 per month. For the
corresponding period of 1894 the receipts
were $546.55, or a monthly average of
$91.09 per month. This is good, but
there is more to follow. The ehowing
made in the reduction of expenses will
also strike the taxpayer favorably. For
tbe six months previous to Jan. 1, 1896,
the expenses of the city were $3,788.62,
or an average of $631.43. For the cor
responding months of 1894 the expenses
were $6,366.77, or a monthly average ex
ceeding $1000. There is now in the city
treasury an available cash balance of
$4,675.43, including 'liquor licenses paid
on January 1st.
The ehowing made by these figures
can be ' called very satisfactory, and as
times improve, at tbe same time the ex
penses being kept down to the low water
mark, the revenue of the city will In
crease and a steady reduction he made
agon our bonded debt- -an indebtedness
which is too large for a city of this size.
There is a gentleman in Tbe Dalles
whose faith in human nature has re
ceived a severe shock. Some time ago,
wishing to obtain a tenant for his farm,
he made an arrangement with a man
who seemed to be an honest fellow all
the more so as he was a soldier in the
Salvation Army. The arrangement be
ing made, the tenant was installed and
immediately filed a request that some
repairs be made to the house. The
landlord consented, and the expense
proved about $200. The. tenant then
asked that the ranch be etocked with
hogs, and this also was done at an ex
pense of $140. Finally tbe owner of the
farm desired a settlement, and after va
rious attempts to get together, it was
found that tbe tenant had traded tbe
hogs for a cow, sold the cow, spent the
money, and presented a bill for labor on
the house, which, after deductions were
made, left the landlord in ' debt to his
tenant $25. It is needless to say the
arrangement terminated, after having
caused an outlay of nearly $500 to the
owner of the farm. s
