RIGGS WINS TAX SUIT
Decision of Judge Galloway Reversed
by Supreme Court of Oregon.
A decision of great Importance to
every school district in Oregon was
made by the Supreme Court, Tuesday,
when the ruling of Judge Galloway
was reversed In the case of Seth Biggs,
appellant, against the County of Polk,
respondent.
This suit was brought by Mr. Biggs,
who is a taxpayer of School District
No. 45, to restrain the County and the
Sheriff from collecting a special school
tax attempted to be levied by the
voters of the district, on the ground
that the notices calling the meeting of
voters were not signed by the chair
man of the school board as required
by law, and that the tax was therefore
illegal.
The District Attorney, acting for the
County and the Sheriff, interposed the
defense that the call was authorized
at a meeting of the directors, at which
the director who had served the long
est time was not present, and at which
another director, next In order of
seniority, had lawfully presided as
chairman, and that the. notice was
signed by the chairman of such meet
lng, as chairman pro tern., and that
the tax was valid.
Judge Galloway dismissed the suit,
holding that the meeting was legally
called, but the Supreme Court reverses
this decision, holding in effect that
the office of chairman of the board of
school directors is a distinct office;
that the actlngchairman of a directors'
meeting, who is not the senior director,
is not the chairman of the board, and
that a school tax levied at a voters'
meeting called by a written ' notice
signed by a chairman pro tern., is
illegal and void. The decision will be
of Interest to every taxpayer, as this
Is the first time this question has been
brought before the Supreme Court of
Oregon.
