Co. Assessor Says NO. 233
Numerous inquiri«** indicate that
the recent uim*ndmcrit of section 69-
107, Oregon Code 1930, relating to
(•»•M 'lw r men’s property exemption*,
i. not fully understood.
Thin amendment doe* not restrict
In any manner the exemption hereto
fore ((runted to "any honorably dia-
churyed union Holdier or *ailor ot the
.Mexicun war, the war of the rebellion,
the Indian warn, • • • or the widow
remaining unmarried o f any Spanish-
American war soldier.M
In it* practical effect the amend*
inert confers the exemption on those
veterans only o f the Spunish-Ameri-
can war and the World wur who have
a diiiability rating o f 40 per cent or
more. Since the exemption conferred
on Spanish-American and World war
veterans is limited to those "with a
disability o f 40 per cent ot more, oc-
cordin gto official certificate of the
United States icovernment,” it be
come* the duty o f any such veteran
claiming the exemption to file with
the assessor official evidence o f *uch
disability rating.
Spanish - American war veteran*
should make applicat on immediately
to the county assessor and should
pras< nt to him for inspection their
discharge papers and their pension
papers. It will be noct-snary ofr them
to have these papers with them in
order to get the exemption.
World wur veteran* must file with
the county assessor, a cert.fled copy
o f their disubil ty rating issued by
t«»c Unite«» State* veterans adminis
tration.
Due to the change in the law the
assessor has extended the time for
filing, however they should be in a*
noon us possibly an<l not later than the
first o f May.

R A IN STOPS GAME
ok
The women’s auxiliary met at the
Darley office last Thurs«lay. Some of
the liulics were there all «lay to work
on the flower garden «iuilt. Plans
were made for the club to meet there
in the future. The club quilt was
finished and a quilt for Mrs. Darley
was put in the frames. This was fin-
ishetl Tuost<ay o f this week an«! Mrs.
Goss will put one in soon. The last
Frances two quilts are the double wediling
ring patterns an«l are beautiful.
In a well started game, which only
last three inning the local baseball
club «Irubbed out Mill City 7-2. The
j field was wet to begin, and as the
rain continued it prove«! impossible to
continue the game, and both teams
agreed to call it off in the third in
ning.
Webb, the hurler for Turner, show-
e«l up with some nice work, fanning
three men in the first inning and hold
ing them to only two hits the next
two. The local boys are hitting well
and if everything goes well, will
duplicate the feat o f last season by
winning the cup again.
Three innings «io not constitute a
league game so Turner and Mill City
will have to play another game, the
date to be announced later. Every
body conn and help support the boys,
it will be appreciated.
