Tf such levy ls made. the proceeds will
be wholly applied In the construction OF
new county roads.
The county court for several years
has made special levy for road pur-
poses Of and 4 mills. Under the city
charter OF Astoria, as amended IN 1895,
all tine road money and poll tax collect
ed inside the city limits, which has
amounted 10 about 5000 each year, has
Leen turned over TO the council TO be
used only in the construction Of street
crossings and repairing Of county
roads in the city limits The county
outside Of Astoria and Warrent0wn has
received only about $500 each year for
road purposes.
The county court believes that such
a state OF things is not equitable, and
hence viii make no voluntary special
levy. The road supervisore will be di-
rected TO enforce the provisions Of that
section OF the code which provides for
Aut NblltINADA VI a pOil ia Va - AAOAA
every male, unless exempt by law. be-
tween the ages Of q and 30, and ;L50
on each assessed $1,000 Of property. for
road purposes. The proceeds will be
used as most needed.
The levies were fixed as follows: For
county purposes. 1915 mills. decrease
Of 2.5 mills; interest on warrants, 2.5
mills. balance 1892 state tax, mills;
county schools. mills. Then there is
a special tax OF L5 mills for the Young
Bay bridge, made two years ago.
The action Of the county court
relative to the road tax levies opens
Up a new field Of thought for the city
dads Of Astoria. The only charter pro-
visions for street-crossing construction
and maintenance is that above mem
toned. which contemplates the use for
this purpose OF the money raised with
in the city limits by the county levy
FOR road purposes. Until the charter
can he amended, the council will prob
ably have to divert the necessary
money from the general funds.

What was nearly a case Of man over
board, but which resulted only in a very
had scare, occurred yesterday on the
waterfront A steamer had landed at
a dock and one Of the passengers, in
haste to disembark. did not wait for the
plank to be put out, but, placing his
foot upon the gunwale Of a life boat,
which was on the upper deck Of the
steamer. attempted to step to the dock,
somewhat farther out and higher than
he expected. The small boat turned, as
natural consequence OF the weight
on the one side, and the gentleman
missed his footing on the dock and fell,
barely catching with his hands where
he had intended to put his foot. Dellb-
erately drawing himself up, he stepped
on the dock and walked calmly away
without a word Every one who saw
the occurrence breathed easier when 1t
was over. ....
