condition of Clackamas County, was
completed Tuesday. It was due March

ready and the clerk was compelled to
wait until it was filed. The report

time but since its date, March 31, the

when reports are made, an addition
has been made to it, covering the re
ports of the sheriff from collected
taxes. The report is interesting and

item on the list is the printing of the
delinauent tax list, which reaches
1650. The total liabilities of Clack
