COUNTY WINS TAX CASE COMPANIES MTJST PAY FOR AUTOS KEPT IN STORAGE. State Supremo Court Gives Deci sion in Test Action Brought by Northwest Auto Company. 'Multnomah county tax collections were boosted approximately $125,000 annually by the decision handed down by the state supreme court Tuesday in the test case brought by the North west Auto company seeking to re strain the sheriff from collection of taxes levied by County Assessor Welch against automobiles held In storage, according to Stanley Myers, district attorney, who represented the county officials in the suit. The automobile company had ma chines totaling $67,000 in value scat tered in various warehouses about the city, The automobiles all were as sessed as personal property by tha county assessor and a tax of $3000 demanded. Scores of other automobile . firms were in the same situation and at a meeting of the Automobile Dealers' association, the Northwest Auto com pany was selected to initiate a test case to determine whether or not such assessments were legal. The claim of the automobile men was that the payment of a dealer's license of $30 a year entitled them to escape all other taxes. The dealer's license fee covered cars used as demon strators, etc., and the association members pointed to the clause in the law providing that registration and license fees were "in lieu of all other taxes." The state answered this claim by the assertion that the dealer's license was a privilege given to individuals and that it was absurd to contend that property valued at $67,000 could escape equitable taxation by the sub terfuge of a $30 payment for a deal er's license. The dealers further asserted that to tax automobiles in storage would be unconstitutional by reason of the fact that there would be double taxa tion in many instances, numerous ma chines in storage being sold and li censed during the year. The state replied that there was nothing to prove that any of the automobiles would be sold, or if sold that they would be sold to residents of Oregon, or if sold to Oregon residents that they might not be replaced Instorage instead of operated. The opinion sustained the county and was written by Justice McBride.

(Special.) In his report on his office for the year 1921, Herman Murray, prosecuting attorney for Pacific county, states that liquor cases are the most numerous, while divorces follow second with fish law violations close third.

Mr. Murray also recommended that tax-delinquent land be foreclosed on at the end of the year instead of waiting five years. This is to pre vent land speculators from gambling with land they buy from the county for a amall sum and hold without paying taxes in the hope that the town will boom and they can sell it at a big profit.

Improvement in the condition of the Cnances of Riverview cemetery is noted in a new report Just issued by Leslie M. Scott, treasurer, which reads that, due to increasing lot sales and burials, over $1275 in cash has oeen added to the irreduc!ble maintenance fund during the first four months of the year and that $400 more will be added during May. It is expected that the fund will be increased by $2000 during the half year, exceeding the expectations of the trustees. In addition to this cash increase, says the report, the cemetery has In the fund $30,000 in securities and as a further resource has a large area Tf improved burial lots. 200 acres of land and a valuable frontage on the Wil- amette river, all this being free from debt. "No other cemetery in Portland, Treasurer Scott says, "is setting aside iO per cent of lot receipts for the maintenance fund. One cemetery that does a large business turns 20 per cent into such a fund and another reserves 10 per cent. Despite heavy expenses incidental to spring, ' Riverview will show a handsome surplus of net revenues for May, Just as it has shown for the four previous months of the year. The im provements of Riverview, the most expensive of any cemetery in Port land, are all paid for and the only Indebtedness is $250 in addition to current bills. 'The receipts for May will approxi mate $2500. The trustees are pleased by the improvement of Riverview cemetery conditions and the people cf Portland and lot owners: have every reason to "be gratified by the promis- ng outlook and by the growth of the maintenance fund. This most beauti ful of cemeteries, operated solely for the mutual benefit of lot owners, past. present and future. Is an ornament to the city of Portland and a praisewor thy memorial to its citizens. The cemetery has no stockholders and no debt creditors. All receipts go to wages, improvements and mainten ance fund and the trustees serve with out fees or salaries." v- claL) Contracts were awarded by the city council last night for 11 blocks of grading and paving In this city, to cost approximately $35,000.
