; Passed by Congress.
FUNDS WOULD LOSE TAXES
Measure Provides for Payment
- "of Taxes by Government,
Which Would Take $232,000.
The Southern Oregon company, pres
: snt owners of the Coos Bay wagon road
. grant lands In Coos and Douglas coun
ties, will receive $2.50 per acre, net, for
the grant lands, if the bill prepared by
the department of Justice is enacted by
congress without amendment. Under
the terms of the measure, as introduced
by Senator Chamberlain at the request
; of the department of Justice, the accrued
taxes, amounting to approximately $232,
K)0 will be paid by the government.
This .amount will not be charged
against the Southern Oregon company,
but- the government will reimburse it-
tolf out of the sale proceeds of the land
and timber. The result will be that there
will be approximately $232,000 less to dis
' tribute among the school fund, port and
district road funds and irrigation fund
.than would have been the case had the
terms of the Chamberlain-Ferris act in
settlement of the Oregon & California
i grant land cape been followed.

company executes satisfactory deeds re
conveying the land to the government
within 30 days after the approval of the
' act-
At the rate of $2.50 per acre this would
reconvey to the government some 92,985
acre of grant land, that Being the
.amount still held by the company.
Section two of the proposed bill pro
. Tides that all taxes due and unpaid on
the date of the execution of the deed
