Tho city council of Pendleton play
ed Santa Claus last evening, And ln

library. The levy was made laat
night at tho regular meeting of the
council at which time the olty fathers

mining upon nine mills for general ex
penses of the city and two mllla for
street Improvement, and thus going
the limit of the city charter ln an 11
mill levy.
Tho special levy for tho library
amounts to one-fiftieth of a cent on
every dollar, or 20 cents per thou
sand dollars upon the taxable property
of the city. Upon tho taxable valua
tion of 1 3.665,122.25, the basis of last
night's calculations, It will bring in I
the sum ol $733 in taxes, of which
not moro than $650 will probably be
collected, giving approximately that
amount toward the expense of the li

sum together wfth the $2500 which
tho library club has set as the sum
It proposes to raise for the furnish
ing and support of the library during
the coming season, and the $50 per
month approximate income from the
Sturgis fund, which will be used for
the purchase of books, will give suf
ficient money to carry on the library
in a most thorough manner.
Tho library levy was made separate
nnd apart from the general city levy
and was based upon tho state law
which provides a tax for that purposo.
The sum was the smallest consistent
with the amount of funds necessary
for the library and was but one-fifth
of the sum which could have been
levied under the statute and would
have been had It not been for the
heavy Increase in the amount of the
levy this year.
The city levy of nine mills will be
used for general expenses of the city,
Including every Item except that of Im

total up to the charter's limit of 11
mills.
Besides determining the tax prob

Main street to the city limits, referred
the two bids on the Improvement of
