RESIDENT SEEKS TO STOP IM
PROVEMENTS BY RAISING
QUESTION OF LEGALITY. -
CLAIMSf TAXES - ILLEGALLY LEVIED
Court Asked to Stop Sheriff In His
Attempt to Collect the Ten Par.
cant Improvement Taxee
' Asaeesed.
If the contention of D. O. Leavens,
of Willamette, la correct the little
burg to the south has got itself into a
peck of trouble. The contention Bet
up In a. suit filed in Circuit Court Is
that due form waa not pursued In the
levying of taxes for 1910 and 1911,
and that In conaequence the assess
ment for these yeara for contemplated
Improvements may not be collected
and said improvements cannot be
made.
The aald D. O. Leavena seeks to
enjoin Sheriff Man from collecting
taxes under what purports to be the
tax levy for 1910 and 1911, setting
forth that auch levy waa not made ac
cording to -due process of law. Ho
set up that the charter of the village
of Willamette say a that "on or before
December 31st of each year, the
council Bhall make an estimate of the
expense of the town for the ensuing
year, and the' council ahall by ordin
ance, estimate and declare the neces
sary amount of money to be raised by
general taxea, and shall levy the nec
essary amount, therefor, which levy
shall not in any caae exceed the sum
of fifteen milts "on the dollar, which
shall be' certified by the recorder to
the proper officer of Clackamaa Coun
ty. Oregon, who shall extend the said
tax in an appropriate manner and col
umn upon the county tax roll; and the
same shall be collected by the officer
collecting the county tax, and ahall be
by him turned over to the city treas
urer of fhe city within ten days after
he haa collected the aame; provided,
that the tax levy, aa certified up to
the aald officer, ahall be In one sum
snd shall lie entered In the column
headed "Town of Willamette Tax."
Neither the sheriff nor tax collector
of Clackama county, nor aald county.
shall receive fees or compensation for
collecting each taxes."
It la then further recited. "That the
council of aald town of Willamette
failed, neglected and refused to make
an estimate of the expenses of the
said town of Willamette during the
year 1910 or at all for the year 1911
and failed, neglected and refused to
make an estimate and declare the
necessary amount of money to be
raised bv general taxea by ordinance
as provided for under and by virtue
of said subdivision three, section 18
of aald charter, and failed, neglected
and refused to make a levy by ordin
ance, aa provided for under and by
virtue of said charter, and the only
act of said council In attempting to
levy a tax under aald charter appears
upon the minute of special session of
said council held In the said town of
Willamette on December 30, 1910, and
Is entered upon the minute-book of
said council as follows, to-wit: On
motion made and carried a 10 mill tax
was voted."
It Is further claimed that no ordin
ance was ever made, passed or adopt
ed by the council of Bald town of Will
amette declaring the necessary
amount of money to be raised by gen
eral taxes on the tax roll of 1910 for
the year 1911, nor waa there ever any
ordinance of any kind or description
paaaed or adopted by aald council de
claring a levy of ten mills or any
other number of mills upon the tax
able property within the corporate
limits of said town of Willamette or
at all, and the said town of Wlllam
ette. after the aald 30th day of Dec
ember. 1910. by and through lta offl
cers, certified to the County Clerk of
Clackamaa county, Oregon, that aald
town of Willamette had levied a mu
nicipal tax of ten milla upon all of the
taxable property within the corporate
llmlta of said town of Willamette, and
the eald County Clerk did thereafter
wrongfully and unlawfully and without
authorityof law. enter said tax levy
upon the assessment rolls of Clacka
mas county. Oregon, and . thereafter
turned over aald rolls to the aald de
fendant, the Sheriff, with a warrant
for the collection of the taxea therein
described. Including said ten mill tax
ao pretended to be levied by the Bald
town of Willamette." '
All of which goes to show that there
la trouble for tha town of Willamette
if the allegations aa set frtb ln this
attempt to restrain tho Sheriff from
collecting the taxea la true. Certain
It la that there la to be a stubborn
court fight, and In the meantlm the
Improvement In Willamette must
wait until auch time aa the matter can
be cleared up In court.
The petition wlndB up with the pray
er that the court will hand down a
decree declaring Bald ten mill tax null
and void, and asking that the Sheriff
be restrained from attempting to col
lect auch tax or to In any way put a
cloud on the title of the property ao
assessed, winding up with a request
that Willamette bo assessed tha costs
ot tho suit.

TWO LATE VETOES
THAT PLEASE FRIENDS
WHEN WEST VETOED DEFICIENCY
BOARD MEASURE. AND LAW
FOR FURNISHING SUPPLIES. .
SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Spl.) Two
vetoea that have not been altogether
acceptable to those who know the In
side working of things here are those
Inowhlch the Governor disapproved of
the bill providing for a deficiency
board as also for the Belling -of aup
pliea to the State.
As at present ordered any board can
create a deficiency and then It la up
to tho legislature to pay It -or the
creditor are left to bold the bag and
the State given a black eye commer
cially. Under the terme of tho new
law there waa to be a denciency
board, composed of the Governor, Sec
retary ot State, Treasurer, Speaker of
the House and the President or. tne
Senate. Any board that felt the nec
essity of creating a deficiency must
present the matter to thla board, and
It must approve of It before tho board
could go ahead and spend more than
It had In Ita appropriation. In case
of necessity of course this board would
sanction the measure; If no necessity
existed naturally It would then turn
down the proposition.
The second law provided that any
State official may hot sell supplies to
the 8tate. And why ahould he?
Thre are aeveral who are accused of
doing so now, and the rumor Is that
the State pays top much in conse
quence. Governor West turned these two
measures down, and It la thought In
doing ao that he at least did a good
turn for hla trlends, whether or not

NEW BRIDGE PICiED
TO SPAN CLACKAMAS
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAKES NEW
SURVEY THROUGH PARK PLACE
WILL BUILD NEW BRIDGE.
The Southern Pacific Is planning for
very important improvementa In Its
railway line at Parkplace. and among. .
plans for tho improvement of Ita road
bed la the cutting oft of a sharp
curve, necessitating the erection of a
new bridge that will cover three tlmea
the ground of the present structure,
and will cost a large aum of money at
the aame time making that point on
Its line aafer for the traveling public
and lncreaatng the speed at which the
river may be crossed and cutting down
the time Into Oregon City, -
The survey thst haa been completed
within the paat few days will run di
rectly through Parkplace, making It, ,
necessary to move aeveral homes, and
in one Instance the proprietor haa but
recently completed a cement aub
kltchen that wilt of necessity be de
stroyed. Two or three other house i
will need-to- be removed or raxed.
The engineers say that the Improve
menta are to be begun at once the
survey hss been made two or three
times before but It la aald tho com
pany is now ready to make tho 1m- .
provement and that work will be com-
menced very shortly. . . ; i i .
Tho crossing of tho Clackamaa at
this point ha alwaya been considered
dangeroua, and great car haa, been
taken to alow down Ita trains when '
approaching the river, and the bridge '
haa been ln auch ahapo that the high ' '
waters made,, great cjare necessary.
Part of the new plans contemplate re
ducing the expense of np-keep and the
elimination of all possible danger at
thla point
The improvement win be quite ex
