If present plans do not miscarry the city tax will be , collected in Corvallis this year,, notwithstand ing the facts set forth in, Friday's Times. The attorney :, general of the state, has been . called into the game, and he has held in a hut? ried examination, that the time of the levy is not. vital to its legality; If, he advises, the , levy is made in 1 time ior the 'extensions to be made along with the other levies, special and otherwise, . the proceeding would appear to be regular and legal, even though the law states that the city levies must be report ed to. the clerk, "on or before Jan uary 1st." The opinion is embod-! ied in a letter to , City Attorney Bryson, who asked for an opinion.' Pursuant to the attorney general's view, the city council at the , reg: ular meeting last night, made the usual levy of five mills for the ger eral and two mills for. the strett fund, and today the same was ; re ported to the county clerk. To-, morrow there is an adjourned term of the county court, held for the purpose of incorporating the city levy into the general to t be made, and it looks now as if ev erything would be lovely and the goose hang bigh so far as city tax es are concerned.. ; - 1.
