That voters registered as members of other parties, were permitted to re register at the polls, eontrary to law, and were given Republican ballots which they voted for Olcott. That Democrats on which the name cf .Olqott were written in were wrong fully credited to Olcott's Republican vote. . That votes were oast by persons who wore not citizens of the state. These votes going largely, to Olcott. 'llntl In all precincts in Multnomah county Hall was denied the right, eon trary to law, to be represented at the polls by challengers and watchers, as the result of which large numbers were permitted to vote who were not legally entitled to vote and whose otes favored Olcott.

Attorneys representing Hall in the contest proceeding are w. 8.. Uren, Collier and Collier, Oils Moser and Peck and Brand.

Mrs. Municipality Pendleton musi either raise her tax rate, or else her credit with banks and with good busi ness men is bound to suffer. That Is the diagnosis of the physician of fi nancial Ills, which in this case -hap- ! Pens to -be ..the , Whltfield-Withcomb Co.. certified accountants, -ine, mas- nosis was dillvered last night to the city council when the audit of the ac countants was read by Mayor G. A. Hartman. The net worth of the city is $739,- 80.05, according to the finding of thr accountants. Exclusive of the watei system the city is worth above Its debts $493, .127. 39, and the net worth of the water system is $246,863.66. While the report as read last nighl does not question the right of the city to credit on the present basis of it! finances, the point is raised by thr accountants that the present tax levj of 11 mills is not adequate to provide the funds needed to keep the dtj ahead or even with lis obligations Added bond issues is the only aller nstive if the tax levy is not increased it Is pointed out. The taxable wealth can not he expected to increase rapid ly enough to make It possible to leave the levy at Its present figures, the re port Hays. One weakness of several , pointed cut In the report is that no provision is made in the budget for depreciation of fixed assets. In this connection he recommendation Is made that the budget of the future years be mndc to provide for the purchasing of street ( department trucks nnd fire depart ment equipment out of current funds.
