Hi, making au oveidiatt ot
fdlli (Hj. 1 Und that under our pres
ent rate of expenditure per mouth for
lights', police and street oimmissiouer
that we will spend nearly tiiOti.PO fut
the year, so that any publio impove
meiits and expenditues that you may
ai.t lorize will be aa iudebteduess at
the end cf the year. As out tesourcea
for the year will be approximately
fCtOO.Oii, vt'U will be obliged to leject
any expenditure that is not absolutely
necessary. Street improvements will
need attention, aud every improve
meat authorized by you should be la
liue with a permanent plan. Hereto
fore every property bolder has been
a law unto himself, a condition that
should not pierail. lo get the test
results the city as a whole, uot the
individual, should be considered.
Water for tire protection is an abso
lute need, lbat is a matter that is
up to the property owners lu the
city, ami 1 nave no doubt that as
soon as they fully realize tneir posi
tiou t tint they will demand relief at
your liHiids aud will vote the neces
sary tunds to meet their demands.
In this connection 1 would urge the
folly of attempting anything of a
temporary nature, and hope it this
mattei is taken up at all that you
will not consider anything that will
net icsult In a complete water sys
tem that will be ample fur the pres
ent and pud able futuie needs ot the
city, owned aud controlled by the
City and open ted lor the beuelit of
the citizens thereof. J find that oui
peace otllcers have epcut much time
trying to enforce the prohibition laws
ot our county and state. That is a
matter that is out of your control,
and it is the duty of the eouuly otllc
ers to see that those laws are enforc
ed. While 1 do uot wish our city
ulllceis to relax their vigilauce, with
a county graud jury meeting here mid
their menus of gett ing i videuce and a
stl of county olllcera doing their du
ty, it is baldly just to the taxpayer o!
this city that their olllcers should
spend time that should be employed
in other duties doing work that Is
clearly the province and duty of the
county otllcers.
"There ure many things that come
up for your consideration that i!l be
ot luturo import to the weltare of
your city. Vou should consider the

TAXES WILL BE
HIGH THIS YEAR
Taxes will be high at Hood Kiver
thia year. Tho levies which have been
announced for state, county, city
and tor school purposes show that
llood Kiver property owners will be
compelled to pay a tax ot uT mills or
in other words, bl.j per cent, t' he
proportion of tho vat ions levies is di
vided as tullows; State and county,
25 mills, f poeial school lax 20 mills,
city, 10 mills. 'The heavy school tax
which has been levied, it is stated, is
duo to tho low valuation ut which
propei ty outside of the city is assess
ed. Lund valued ut from 1000 to
.lf)0 an Bcre beiiK assessed tor S100
to 8125. 'The low assessment on val
ley property is also the , cause to
some extent of the county tax being
much higher than it would be if it
was assessed at its proper valuation.
It Is argued by many that it would
be more equable and put tho tax levy
on a better basis, particularly when
elfortsjure being made to induce in
vestors t.i come here to proviso for a
higher valuation and a corresponding
ly lower tax levy. This it is said it
was impossible to do this year as the
woik of making the new assessment
had already been commenced by the
olllcials ut Wasco county and had to
bo carried oui on the valuations es
tablished by them in order to com
plete tho lax roll at the proper time.
IIk' heavy school tux includes tak
ing care of flll.OOU worth of bonds is
sued to purchase the ground and com
plete the high school building aud al
so a special tux levied for other school
pui poses.
The t ix levied iu the city is us high
us it could be made duo to a provi
sion in '.he city charter which limits
it to 10 mills. It will be necessary to
raise a greater amount by direct taxa
tion this year than in previous years
owing to the fact that the city is with
out other revenue exe.cpt a small
amount from PceiiKn fees. Auother
feature that calls lor an additional
amount of laxa'iou is that the ciiy is
in debt to au amount something over
c'O.ixii) which will have lo be taken
care of.
