Aldermen Make Estimates on EX.
penditureS for Coming Year Based
on 1914 Expenses.
ANNUAL EXPENSE $4,000
Loss of Revenue from Saloon liz
ccnses Provided for In Budget
Street Sprlnlling Cost Is Reduced
Through Spread OF Paved Street
District.

Pendleton's city tax levy for next
year will be eleven mills, If the bud
get presented by Chairman Murphy
Of the finance committee and approv-
ed by the council last evening, Is ta-
ken as a basis There Is a possibility
of a small reduction after the budget
has been thoroughly worked over but
right now the council deems that a
nine mill general tax and two mill
street tax will be necessary to meet
the expenses Of operation and better
ments in 1915.
The total city tax levy last year
and for several years prior, was nine
mills. The increase next year Is
made necessary because of the loss
of about $4,000 revenue through the
abolishment of the licensed liquor
business.
The total estimated expense Of op-
GRAFTON in 1916 is $5S.575.3s which
is a little less than in 1914 and prob
ably less than in 1915. The only
betterment provided for in the bud
get is septic tank which, il is esti-
mated, will cost $4,000. This will
make a total expense for the year of
6S,575.3s. The assessed valuation
OF the city property year ago was
&b,746,S06 and Assessor c. p Strain
states that it will be about the same
this year An eleven mill tax on

about $4,000. according to the esti-
mate Of Recorder F1tz Gerald, and
not more than $4,000 in fines. iudg-
