Five Mills city Tax.

The city council met in special session
Saturday night. The object for which
the meeting was called was to consider
the matter of levying city tax for the
current year, and Mayor Menefee stated
the purpose of the meeting to the fol-
lowing councilmen: Messrs. Lauer,
Wood, Thompson, Nolan, Ross and
.Saltmarshe. Evidently the matter had
been well considered in the mind of each
councilman before coming to the meet
ing, as there was little hesiJancy in ar
irving at conclusion. When the estl-
mates needed for the year had been read,
Mr.. Nolan moved that tax of five mills
be levied upon all city property. Mr..
Thompson seconded the motion, and it
quickly passed the council. According
to the certificate of County Clerk Kel-
say, the total amount of taxable prop
erty in Dalles City is 81 ,090. .644. A five-
mill tax will yield an income of So, ,453,
%. The estimate, which has been pre-
pared, of the expenses for 1896 is as
follows:
Interest on bonds .........$ APO 90
Current expenses on basis of
expenses for the last 6 mos. 1877 16
AObeAA. P1O,o0t IL
To meet these estimated expenses oi
$40, 1871 it is expected revenues will be
received as follows:
Tax of mills on 81 900, ,644. So, ,453 %
Liquor licenses. s..-............. 5,OOO W
lncidentals 1000 0O
Total expected revenue. .$12, ,453 %
This will leave balance, if the reve-
nues and disbursements prove as esti-
mated of 81 ,456. The council could have
added to the tax levy three-twentieths
of one per cent for the payment of inter
est on bonds. In this way an additional
revenue of 1,635, ,96 could have been OBJ
tanned. The additional levy was, how
ever, thought unnecessary.
The only other action taken by the
council Fas the giving of permission to
Mr.. Saltmsrshe and his neighbors tc
lay cresswalk on Second street, neal
the East End.
The work of the evening was quickly
and satisfactorily accomplished, and &C
the council adiourned-some to theil
homes, some to the Commercial Club
and all of them hoping the expenses o
the year would prove smaller than the
estimate and the revenues larger.

officers, show that this belief was justi-
fed.
1t has been ascertained that for the
six months preceding January 1. 1896,
the receipts of the city other than taxes
and liquor licenses, were 81 ,O76.67. or an
average of $17945 per month. For the
corresponding period of 1894 the receipts
were $546.55, or a monthly average of
$91 .O9 per month. This is good, but
there is more to follow. The showing
made in the reduction of expenses will
also strike the taxpayer favorably. For
the six months previous to Jan. 1, 1896,
the expenses of the city were So, 3,7sS.62,
or an average of $63I.43. For the cor
responding months of 1894 the expenses
ceeding $1,000. There is now in the city
treasury an available cash balance of
$4, ,675.4S, including .liquor licenses paid
on January 1st.
The showing made by these figures
can be called very satisfactory, and as
times improve, at the same time the ex-
penses being kept down to the low water
mark, the revenue of the city will in
crease and steady reduction be made
upon our bonded debt AN Indebtedness
which is too large for city of this size.
There is a gentleman in The Dalles
whose faith in human nature has re-
ceived severe shock. Some time ago,
wishing to obtain tenant for his farm,
he made an arrangement with man
who seemed to be an honest fellow-all
the more so as he was a soldier in the
Salvation Army. The arrangement be-
ing made, the tenant was installed and
Immediately filed request that some
repairs be made to the house. The
landlord consented, and the expense
proved about 5000. The tenant then
asked that the ranch be stocked with
hogs, and this also was done at an ex-
pense of $140. Finally the owner of the
farm desired settlement, and after va
rious attempts to get together, it was
found that the tenant had traded the
hogs for COW, sold the COW, spent the
money, and presented bill for labor on
the house, which, after deductions were
made, left the landlord in debt to his
tenant $25. 1t is needless to say the
arrangement terminated, after having
caused an outlay of nearly $500 to the
owner of the farm.

1t is not yet year since The Dalles
put its city finances upon cash basis !;
or rather, by the issuance of bonds, re-
deemed all outstanding warrants and
declared that hereafter claims against
the city would be paid in caeh, and in
cidently it was understood that the city
government would be run with the
greatest economy consistent with good
administration. In the minds of many
citizens it was believed the new system
would work satisfactorily, and the re-

The distillery at Grant has resumed

had saved the Union of States. He
welcomed them for the church ON
account that the Methodist denomin-

millions of money for the cause. lie
welcomed them personally because
10000 of his countrymen had stood
with the Union cause, and for the
reason that they were the harbingers
of the principles of liberty.
The preacher said God always raised
someone to lead the oppressed from
bondage. Liberty was divine prin-
ciple. Moses was raised up to lead
,he lsraelites from bondage. David
rose when Israel was sorely oppressed.
Paul came to open wider kingdom of
victory. Luther, Knox, Wesley, Adol. |
phus, Cromwell, Washington, Lincoln
and Grant had all appeared at crit
zeal periods. Such heroes lived in the
memory of their people. Lincoln. the
rail splitter, rose at crisis to lead |
a great nation and to save IT from dis |
union.
