The immense cost of running the
city of Portland is shown from the
following estimates of next wears ex-
penses taken from the Oregon Daily
Journal. The Journal says of the
question of taxation and city eXpen-
ses
Over $1.000,000 will be turned over
to the officials of Portland with which
to run the city next year If the recon-
mendation of the levy of 81 mills is
adopted by the council.
Tho ways and means committee of
the council late yesterday afternoon
decided to recommend that the levy
on city property be 81 mills. On the
valuation Of property this year this
levy will raise $949,050. To this must
be added S391,000 which will be rails
ed from license fees and other sour
ces, and which goes into the general
fund. The bulk of the money will be
divided among the departments for
which specific levies must be made
by the charter. The recommended
ton will probably be adopted.
Taxpayers will doubtless protest,
hut the councilmen can show what is
demanded next year: an increase in
the salaries of the firemen and po-
licemen and the construction of gar
bage crematory, which will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. These are but
two of the larger items.
Money will also he spent for ar
east side police station. This has been
considered a necessity for long time.
1t is also contidentially hoped that
provisions will be made for an emerg-
ency hospital. 1t is declared that no
other city Of Portland's size in the
United States requires its police force
to take injured persons to the police
station in the patrol wagon.
For the expenses CT the city in
1905, $1,069,227 was raised by taxa
ton. This was by levy of 81 mills
ma valuation of S131, 100000. AS
the valuation this year is S165,5O0 600,
it will he seen that the council is
planning higher levy on an increas.
ed valuation. This will amount tC
$?G6.S23 more than Portland has ever
raised for its expenses before.
Assessor Sigler has declared that g
levy Of 5 mills upon his increased val
uation is all that is necessary. He
told the ways and means committee
yesterday that any higher levy wa!
| unnecessary, but his suggestions die
not find favor.
If the council adopts this levy tht
total will he 1872 mills. This will b,
divided as follows: County tax, in
Guiding road tax, S.275 mills; city tax
5.I mills: state tax, 2 mills; schoo
