ILLEGAL' That the levy of . two and three fourths mills at a taxpayers' meet ing last week for the purchase of a arte and erection upon it of a school house la illegal was the opinion of Attorney General Crawford late thfa afternoon, and that will be b's opin ion submitted lu a written form to the board this evening, unless ho should fiTid some Irw or authority to chnnge It. The opinion was given to a member of the board of directors and whtlo the attorney general in dicated that he had not yet re duced it to writing, hevalso indi cated that when he did, It would be unchanged. The board met last night at the high school building for the purpose of considering the legality of the levy, and opinions were rend from Attorneys Bingham and Bnyne. The former contended that the levy was Illegal and the latter that It was le gal and both cited law and decisions In support of their contentions. A motion was made that the board certify to' the county clerk to a levy of four a'nd three-fourths miljs and that' no certification be made to the two and three-fourths mills on ths ground that it was -illegal. Director Lafky opposed it and contended that If a portion was illegal, all was Ille gal, but his contention was frowned upon, and the board was about to take a vote on the subject when A. E. Lee, ex-member of. the board, arose' and addressed the meeting. Mr. Lee ruggested that the board was dealing with an lnfportant mat ter, and that before arriving at a de cision upon it that it should seek the highest legal, opinion obtainable that it should go to the attorney-gen eral. The suggestion was acted up on, and members of the board today called upon Attorney(3eneral Craw ford, and requested his opinion. After an examination of the law, the attorney-general Indicated that he considered the levy illegal, be cause the notice calling the taxpay ers' meetings and designating Its pur pose had failed to say that a levy would be made for the purchase of a site and school house In East Salem. That the majority of the board will abide by the opinion, of the atttor-ney-g.yieral Is certain, and it begins to look now as though the hopes of the people of East Siflem for a school building are doomed to be crushed. .ii'..;...
