While the levy on the sewer head la prob ably considerably higher than neces sary, It waa deemed advisable be cause tho ordinance covering the mat ter called for a levy amply Insuring the amount of tho Interest paymenta. I.aat year there waa an 8 mill levy, with an aaaesaed valuation of $215, 010. Tho valuation thla year la $396,871. The returns from the levy, ahould all taxes be paid, will bo $0559, On tho sewer account ac crued Interest up to the Ume the city received tho money for the bonds amounted to about $900.

With Wenandy, I.attln and French favoring this, it wna found that four would oppose It, Including the mayor, and no vote waa taken. Tho proposition was then nd. vanced of nllowlng the preaent llcenso to stand until July 1, and then to out down tho number of saloon to five, with license on a $1200 a year basis. Thoso who stood by tho $1500 license objected to this, but after discussion on the ground that tho Immediate en forcement of the proposed high li cense would work special hardship on tho aaloonmen, they conceded that they would be willing to permit tho $800 llcenso to run for 90 days after January 1, after which five saloons would be nllowed, with $1200 nnnunl license. They argued that tho three months would give ampin time for tnose who wlnhed to sell out to do so, for now partnerships to bo formed and sick reduced without loss. It la believed that an ordlnanc.o along these general lines will be proposed tonight. Tho construction bond offered by the South Portland Crushed Itock company, the sewer builders, waa ex amined and officially approved.
