"Slugger" Johnson of the Portland,

"n'Sh Soiu employees are
elected or appointed, and none
OF their terms expire before
April LIST. next; and your CON.
mittee would be very reluc.
tant to advise the cutting of
OF the street lights as long as
there Is a possibility that the
city may be able to pay for
same.
With the foregoing state.
ment of the present condition
OF the city's financial affairs.
as it appears to it, your COM
mittee suggests that this con-
dition may be relieved in a
measure by
First-The collection as
soon as possible of the special
tax bills due the city.
Second-The collection of
the delinquent real estate tax,
which, for the years 1902,
1903. 1904, 1905 and 1906
amounts to $l15O.0O, and
suggest that these taxes, TO.
gether with that part of the
delinquent personal and poll
tax which seems collectible,
be placed In the hands of some
collection attorney, under con.
tract satisfactory to the
mayor and city council and
that these claims be pushed
To speedy settlement.
Third-An increase in the
merchants license, making
the minimum license $40. 90
to apply to stocks assessed at
$1,000. 90 or less, and increas-
ing the license $50 for each
additional thousand dollars OF
assessed valuation or fraction
thereof.
Fourth:-An increase in the
bankers license to $50. 90 per
year, and In this connection
your committee suggests tina,
the whole list OF licenses be
gone over carefully, as there
may be other license that can
be fairly increased.
Fifth:-An increase June !,
next OF the levy on assessed
valuation from Ia cents to so
cents on the 500 valuation
This item should increase the
revenue something like $1,000.
Your Committee believes
that the increase in the mer-
chants license, bankers licen-
Sc and the levy on assessed
valuation will produce an ad.
d.tional revenue OF from $1,000
to $500, and IL the Delinquent,
taxes and tax bills can be
promptly collected to help
tide over the next few montns
your committee thinks that
by the time the foregoing sug
|gestions it makes become eff.
fective, should the council
deem IL expedient to act ia
vorably on them, the city will
be In receipt of sufficient re.
venue To meet its necessary
expenses, if judicially and
managed.
Your Committee further
suggests that all persons
owing the city on account OF
delinquent taxes be imme.
diately notified that the same
must be paid or suit will be
brought TO enforce the lien.
Your committee further
suggests that al extra labor
be dispensed with for the
present, except rs ordered by
"
