CITY EXPECTS TO HAVE
SLIGHT CARRYOVER AT
END OF HARTMAN
Mayor Thinks About $4,000
Will be Left After Over
drafts in Some Departments
Are Paid.

Unless unforeseen expenses develop
between now and December 81 the
city of Pendleton will have money
enough and II slight margin to spare
to meet its obligations for the fiscal
year, according to Il statement made
last night by MAYOR G.. a. Hartman a.
tho meeting of the city council
The statement followed study of
the monthly financial statement pre-
sented by Edwin Winter. Present in
dications are that there will be about
$4,000 left over when ovcrdrafts in
some departments are paid from the
emergency fund. This might be cut to
a lower figure if any unlocked for ex-
pense should develop, tho mayor said.
The valuation on city property for
1923 will be high enough to provide
the income provided for in the budget
rs recently adopted, Mr.. Hartman
said. He based his conclusions on in
formation furnished by County Asses
sor II. o. Hawks.
AT the beginning of this year we
had an overdraft of $500 when we
started the years business. If we can
get through 1922 with carryovcr of
about $4,000, that should be enough to
make up for the slump in tax receipts
under the ll-mill levy on the valua-
tions that have been made" the mayor
said.
