Deschutes county's budget will In nil probability be approximately $12. 000 greater thau at first announced, us the rc-sult of ftn unexpected ad vance of ?22,Q0O In' the stato tax, It was Indicated by County Judga W. D. Darnei and Commissioner C. II. Miller, who were In session Tues day fternoon to determine tho exact revision of tho estimate of county ox peiines for tho coming year. This will mean a total which is expected to reach approximately JH6.000. In drawing up the budget origin ally submitted to the people, thu court had figured op an Increase, of 12,000, tho amount allowed by tho six per cent statutory limitation, and when tho final report from Salesa was received, It was thought at first that the greatly Increased flgura would mean a. drastic paring of es timates for county expenses To day, however, it was determined that the additions to tUe amount due the stato were the result of specially voted appropriations, such as the market road tax, and soldiers' and sailors' aid. and that as these appar ently did not figure la tho six per cent advance allowed by law over last year, the county would not necessarily be held to the $134,314 estimate originally proposed, which Just came within the, sir per eeot limitation. . jrt As the county budget bad alrey allowed for a ?3,00g.,advaBco in tho. stato tax, and bad Included a one mitt' market road Uu, the latter Hew. amohhtlnsSto bstweca $8,000 asd 13.000. the Bxuabers of tho coart. In considering the" situation, states tentatively that "th county -government would be Justified In addiac $12,000, in rpupd, numbers, to. the budget. On this basis, It Is thought, there will bu little radical cfcamge necessary from any of the Items al ready virtually decided on.
