The High School Band
Continued from page 1
The attention of the News was
called to the fact that in the re­
cent account of the French Car­
nival, no mention was made of
the d’ebut at that time of the
newly organized high school
band, which played several sel­
ections.
This ommission was entirely
unintentional and the editor here­
by wishes to apologize, as much
credit is due the band members
and especially the leader, Wilbur
Wade of Currinsville.
expenses, not believing that all of
it would be used but that it would
probably be needed to help out in
emergencies that were unforeseen.
What the committee that was
appohited to revise the estimates
did in that ease, is a matter of re­
cent history. The estimate of
$3780, made by the County Court
for its yearly expense and which
was really somewhat larger than
was necessary, was reduced to
$2320 by the committee and in
consequence, Clackamas county
can boast of having the cheapest
County Court in the state, con-
i sidel ing population and wealth.
| As compared with other coun­
ties in the state, the expenses of
administration in this county are
not extravagant.
Lane county is nearer to that
of Clackamas in population and
> ablation than any other county
j in the state, Lane being slightly
larger than Clackamas in both.
The larger items of expense
i compare as follows:
Lane County Circuit Court
$15,000; Clackamas $11,000.
Widows’ Pensions, Lane $10,-
000; Clackamas $11,000.
Care of poor, Lane $16,405;
Clackamas $12,000.
Clerk and Recorder, Lane $14,-
800; Clackamas $8,710.
Assessor, Lane $10.630; Clack-
ainas $5,720.
Treasurer, Lane $2,451 ; Clack-
a mas $3,121.
Sheriff, Lane $13,560; Claeka-
mas $7,690.
County Court, Lane $4,000;
Clackamas $2,320.
School Superintendent, Lane
$6,270; Clackamas $3,813.
Total, Lane $93,116;
Total
Clackamas $65,374.
Roads and bridges, Lane $135,-
000; Clackamas $232,000.
The law makes it the duty of
the County Court to make the an­
nual tax levy and fix the rate for
all purposes. This fact, gives to
some people the erroneous im­
pression that the County Court is
accountable for high taxes, but a
moment's reflection should show
that the County Court has little
to do except to compute the rate
from the amount that must neees-
arily be made up, for instance the
state levy of 3.22 mills; school
and library, 3.28 mills; county,
3.5 mills and the road levy, 8 mills
etc.”
Judge Anderson's address was
greatly enjoyed and many tax*
payers today feel more kindly
disposed towards the .Judge and
the County Court, than prior to
his address and furthermore feel j
better acquainted with him per*,
sonally and the Judge's person-
dit> is one of his best assets.
