(Portland Telegram, Dec. 24.)
Estimates for 1907 are being gone
over and appropriations for the diff.
ferent departments In the city gov
ernment made by the ways and
means committee OF the city council
this afternoon. The task before the
committee is heavy. for the reason
that the estimates are SO high that
many OF them have to be curtailed.
and II is difficult for the councilmen
to determine what they can best do
without.
II appropriations are made cover
ing the total sum of the estimates,
the tax levy for 1907 will be nearly
seven mills for city purposes. II is
thought, however. that the appropri-
ations will be reduced so that at
least 6-mill levy will be sufficient
to cover all the expenses. In addl-
ton the income OF the general fund
from occupation taxes and licenses.
The estimate receipts OF the gem
eral fund for 1907 amount to $3S1,-I
600 and in addition to this It is ex-
pected that there will be balance
OF $4,000 on hand. In addition to
this 6-mlll levy on the $166,OOO,-
600 assessed valuation OF city prop |
erty would give the city approx |
mately si,400,000 to defray expenses
for 1907. The estimates OF expenses
for all purposes amount to approxl-
mStely $1,5OO,OOO.
According TO the city charter, the
tax levy for all purposes. not ex-
ceedlng the interest on the bonded

levy the council shall apportlon not
to exceed 1 " mills for the lighting

the street repair fund; not to exceed
