County Court Upholds Assessor Also
in Ruling That Owners of Mansions
Shall Pay Taxes on Cost, Rather
Than Selling Price. , '
. '. Jobbers, wholesalers ttni large retail
ers In Portland will pay taxes on their
' stocks on the basis of 75 per cent of the
value for unbroken packages and IS per
cent for broken packages. : ,
One of tbe first duties of .the" county
court tbls morning when sitting' as a
board of equalisation, was to sustain the
basis of estimates adopted by Assessor
Slglerv-Yesterday J. N. Teal, represent-
. Ing taw-Jobbers, made an argument for a
SO per cent basis for their stocks.
,- Members of the county court admitted
the justice of the arguments mude In
behalf of the Jobbers and large mer
chants, so Tar as community equity
went, but concluded that the require
ments of the law would not permit re
ducing the baais of valuation further. In
view of the valuations being placed upon
realty and other property this year.
Another problem which came before
the county court for solution, and which
' presented an Interesting point, wee the
request of some of the owners of man
sion bouses for an assessment on t
basts of the selling or rental value of
such property.; A few of. these owners
cited the fan that they could not sell
these homes for near what Had been put
Into the bullalngs, becsuse they had
been constructed- according to the' tastes
of one Individual.
As the law commands the sssessor -to
fix the values at the true cash value,
" a few of the owners of these homes ar
gued that the cash value would be the
selling price, rather than the cost As
sessor Blgler-tiAld thst suclr would not
:, be the case,- and he would have to assess
on the cost, with treasonable reduction
for age and deterioration since con
struction, as In the case of any ordi
nary building. He was sustained In the
ruling by the county court, who mads
-.no reduction on the argument edvsnced.
. The work of the county court wlU es-
xena isr into next weesv as at noon ir
had just passed ease No. 411, snd few
had been laid aside for further action
later.. The total number of complaints
was near 800, and some of the most Im
portant are yet to be heard, as repre
sentatives of ,the railways, telephone

Judge Cleland Holds That Even If
Council Did Give Such a Privilege
It Would Not Be Constitutional
If Only Given to One Tirrn.
Portland' meat inspection ordinance
passed last spring by the city council
may or may not be constitutional as a
whole. This question will be passed
upon br looal circuit Judges at som
later date. But that section of It re
lating to the light of the City officials
to Inspect meats was Tield to be conatf-
tutlonal by Circuit Judge M. c. ueorge
this morning by hla refussl to issue sn
Injunction ngalnst this Inspection as
had been asked for by the F. L. Smith
Meat company. . , - - - . t
Circuit Judge 'John B. Clelahd, sev
ers! .minutes after the findings of Judge
Oeorae wss announced, gave nis De
cision in the case of the city against
J. W. Cook. J. M Neal ajid T. W. Bigger,
ofiloers of the Pacific States Packing
company, announcing that the defend
ants were guilty of uniawiuny siaugn
terlng animals within the city .limits.
The case had been appealed from the
municipal court, where the . defendants
had been fined f 100 each. Judge Cleland
held that the ordinance passed In ll
granting L. Zimmerman a night to erect
a elsughter house within the city limits
wss unconstitutional. It wss Zimmer
man who . erected the Pacific States
company's plant, and It was one of the
contentions of the defendants thst they
hut tha rla-ht to onerate the slsughter
house on that, grtund, even though the
law had been repealed.
Judge Cleland also held thst the meat
Inspection ordinsnce. if used by the de
fendants as a defense for their operat
ing tha alaughter-house. Is unconstitu
tional; that Is, If the owners aver that
they .comply With the ordinance in the
killing ot animals and therefore have a
ria-ht.
a 1 slaagks
within the city limits, tne o romance is
unconstitutional. , '
Judce Oeorge. In declaring the section
providing for the Inspection of meats
valid, aald that the police power or mis
city was of 'the very broadest nature and
that the charter gave this power Just
as fully as the state legislature could
give It. He held that the city officials
had power to provide In every way for
the care of tbe health of the citisens,
but that the ordinances passed by the
council have no power outside of tbe
city, limits. The Jurist held tnst tne
board of health might grant permission
to persons to kill animals In places other
than those allowed by the council.
Judge Cleland also held that the city
has ample power to pass ordinances reg
ulatlng slaughter houses. He held It
was unconstitutional for the council to
allow Zimmerman a right which was
denied to others. The sttorneys for the
packing house officials allege that the
council did not have the right to repeal
the Zimmerman ordinance because such
action was unreasonable, . but Judge
Cleland held that a court did not have s
tight to declare an ordinance Invalid
simply becsuse it had been declared un
reasonable. It- Is expected that the ease of the
Pacific States Packing company will br
