COUNTY TREASURER IS
BUSY ON VALUES
BUT WHETHER TAXES WILL
BE HIGHER OR LOWER De
PENDS ON THE LEVY.

a considerable number OF peopl,
have called NJ the Office OF the count,
treasurer, Mr. Cornelius, recently L
enquire into the amount of valuation
that has been placed against thei,
properties this year Many are sat
ished, some are discontented ant
some are angry with what they find
set against their names
Generally speaking the valuation ol
all properties in the city will go up
and the values on all real estate, rail.
road properties and on timber viii be
just about doubled.
As the valuations 30 up, the rate
OF assessment. or levy, should 90
down to corresponding degree, new
erthelcss il is not possible 10 accu.
rately forecast what the levy will be.
The city council will fix the rate for
the city, and the rate established will
include the county and school taxes,
while the county court will establish
a levy for the county districts, includ.
ing the school taxes.
Last year the city levy was 81 mills
on the dollar, while the county levy
was ~ mills.
II is, OF course, quite probable
that the rate will be much lower this
year for the city, bu, whether il will
be only relatively and not absolutely
lower than last year will OF course not
be known until the rate is establish.
ed. The big sums spent by the city
authorities out OF the general fund
naturally will make the rate pretty
high.
Mr. Cornelius says he Is not afraid
Of complaints being made OF the rate
throughout the county, but ii is evi-
dent that he anticipates continued
complaint within the city because OF
the large expenditures here.
One OF the school districts in the
county has already sent in its school
levy, but how il is enabled to do this
is not clear, as properly the levy
cannot be made out until the valua.
lions are all made and the budget OF
expenditures figured out
The board Of equalization will meet
IN the third Monday Of October, and
he rolls will all be added up by the
,ounty treasurer's Office before that
ime.
Some Of the properties in the Elk
Creek district, and along the coast
will perhaps be valued at
bout three times what they were

ELECT NEW PRESIDENT
OF ATHLETIC CLUB
CAPT ABERcRoMBIE RESIGNS
AND Mr.. G. c. FULTON IS
ELECTED IN HIS STEAD

/ At q meeting OF the directors O
the Astoria Amateur Athletic Clul
last night the resignation OF Captain
Abercromhlc as president OF the or
ganization was accepted. and G. c
/ Fulton was elected in his stead Be
cause OF his numerous other duties
principally with the First Company
Captain Abercrombic found il impos
sible to devote all the time that was
necessary TO the a. a. A. A. Club
and therefor deemed il best TO re-
sign. In the selection OF MIR Fulton
the organization may deem itself for.
tunate in securing a president who
will probably do much to give the
new club fine standing in the COM
munity and to make II success in
every way, AT the meeting last night
Mr., H, +, Prael was elected vice
president. The officers are:
J, NJ. s Hawthorne. secretary; r.
r. Blair, treasurer; and Fred J, John
son, w, A. Eigner and A. V. Allen,
Jr, directors.
The club hopes to be in its new
building at the corner OF Eleventh
and Duane by the first OF October,
or very soon thereafter, and II is
starting out under very fine auspices.
Already the membership. Of the sen.
iors is 275. more than sufficient to vir-
tually insure the success OF the club
The seniors pay an initiation fee OF
S2 and thereafter each month the
sum OF $l2s in dues. Room will he
made for the boys, also, and for the
juniors the initiation fee is but ST,
and the monthly dues only rs cents.
II is hoped 10 arrange so that the la
lies may have days and hours set
lpart for their exclusive use OF the |
gymnasium and baths, and in that
went their fees will amount to the |
same as for the juniors.
The building should prove an ex-
,ellent one for the purposes OF the |
athletic club, as the plans were espec-
ally drawn BY an architect and every |
Ietail is being carefully looked after.
Most of the apparatus required is
lready at hand, as an heritage Of the
ormer athletic club, and new appara
us will be secured when the condi.
ions warrant. Best OF all the entire
natter Is in the hands OF gentlemen
shose presence at the head OF the
rganization will assure that il will

hat il may be considered an honor to

Especially in a city like Astoria,
here during the winter months the
ainfall prevents much OF the outdoor

esirable, should a fine athletic club
ourish in the very best Of shape.
