COUNTY COURT
NOT GUILTY
Almose every day one hears
some croaker ripping it into the
County Court, blaming it with
the high taxc3 and the high cost
of living generally. The County
Court has very little to do with
the taxes being high,, which we
will undertake to prove to you.
The tax in Toledo this year
will be 34.4 mills. Of this
amount the Court, gets 4. mills
for county purposes, and six
mills for roads and bridges. All
the rest of the 34.4 mill tax goes
for purposes of which the Court
has no control. State tax, school
tax, city and port tax, etc., etc..
are levies over which the Court
has no control, still' they are,
given' the entire blame for the
jhigh taxes.
TIDELAND OWNERS .
NEED NOT WORRY
The C. &. E. tideland grant of
1874-85, after lying dormant for
several decades, ka.a kicked up
quite a muss the past couple of
years, and by reason of the ef
forts of i some Portland attor
neys, some of our tideland own
ers have been caused much wor
ry. The placing of same on the
assessment roll by the assessor
has given fresh cause for wor
ryment and has started several
rumors which have no founda
tion whatever.
We went .to Assessor Ball with
the idea of getting a line on (he
matter, and as an opening shot,
tola Mm that it was rumored
that he had placed this tideland
acreage on the roll by order of
tne rauroad company. Mr. Bull
Informed us that he was not tak
ing orders from the railroad
company, and they had nothing
to do with its being on the roll.
That this land had been a very
active problem to him and the
Sheriff, as the decision of the
Court gave this land to the rail
.road company and placed the
matter of ownership beyond
question, and therefore it was
the Assessor's duty to place
same on the roll this year, also
the Sheriff's duty to place Fame
on the roll for five years back.
Mr. Ball Informs us that this
land placed upon the roll in the
name of the railroad company is
all new Btuft upon the roll, and
has never been assessed before,
the title, having rested with the
state. That now this in nil
would bring in revenue to the
county, the amount of taxes due
to aate on same amounting to
some $22,000.
There is no reason why tide
land owners should get excited
about the matter as our Asses
sor has -placed nothing on the
roll, In the name of the company
that has been assessed to pri
vate owners heretofore It noes
not effect land that has been
deeded or patented. The rail
road has assessed to it the land
which it owns by grant from the
state and is the land locally
known as water front, and lies
below the meander line. This
assessment does not effect any
privately owned land and the
property rights of the citizens
of Lincoln county, have
