23, by which time it is expected to have
definite figures available as to the
amounts requested and the revenues
that will be available during the next
two years.
Governor Withycombe estimated that
the requests will approximate 10000
900, and the available revenues under
the present six per cent tax limitation
will be about 81 7,21S,000. He said he fav-
ored initiating a bill for one mill tax
levy, which would produce approximate
ly 100000 year. He said this sum
in addition to the taxes which may be
raised by the regular levy will take care
of the states needs and at the same
time it would not be too much.
The other members Of the commission
however, declined to fix any amount un.
til they have opportunity to study the
budget requests and thus obtain some
basis upon which to form a conclusion
as to the state 3 needs. Various requests
were pointed out which were considered
unnecessary.
The tentative budget for tho Universe
ty of Oregon was received by the tax
commission today. It provides for ex;
pcnditures totaling $685. 400 in the next

two years, while its revenues from the
millage tax provided for the school will
produce only $685., 1868 during the com.
ing biennium. This leaves a deficit Of
$410, 1886, which the university asks for
in special appropriations.
The budget includes 100000 for a
new armory and 100000 for new wo.
man S building. The statement is made
that when, after the close of the war,
the need for an armory should end the
building could be used for a gymnasi-
UNI.
The request for 100000 for a new
woman IS building is conditioned upon
an equal amount being raised by private
donations. Already about $4,000 has
been raised in that manner.
For general maintenance of the uni
vcrsity the budget allows $170,65O, and
for salaries $461 900.
