Finds Tlint Records Show Many Ttamcs Missing Trouble Comes From Failure to Keep Record of Transfers Posted Bays Fosters The Bulletin tins received tho fol lowing statement from L. D. WIcst In regard to taxpayers on the tax roll: On account of intimations of IN legal voting on tho high school site, In the last two editions of Tho Bulle tin, I feel It Incumbent upon mo to stato tho position of those who favored the Wlestorla site. In general there can ba no law passed which In terms will cover ev ery case that can possibly nrlso un der It, and cases arising not within tho letter of the law must bo decided according to Its manifest Intent. Re ferring to the qualifications required by tbo law for school voters In dis tricts of the second class (as the Dead district Is), probably It will be admitted that tho real Intention of of said law Is to permit all taxpayers resident within the district to vote at all school eleclons of tho district for the obvious reason that they have a' direct personal financial Interest In tho affairs of tho district. Unless such a liberal construction of this law is followed, approximately from 40 to bO per cent of the resident tax payers of tho school district are not eligible school voters at the present time. This statement Is mado after careful actual examination by myself of the 1912 tax roll, as the same ap peared on May 5, 1913, In the sher iff's ofllco. This examination showed as to Center, Kenwood and Park Ad ditions that approximately tho names of not to exceed SO per cent of the resident taxpayers therein appeared upon tho assessment roll of 1912, while tho Bend and the remaining additions were similarly affected to the extent of about 30 per cent. In view of this state of affairs, I submit that If come votes wero im properly cast for the Wlestorla site, fully as many wero cost for the other sito discussed because as above stated the tax records show a larger per cent of non-qualified voters In thoso additions to the city whoro tho oppo sition to tho Wlesorla Blto was pre sumably greatest. However, 1 am convinced that no Illegal voto wno intontlounlly cast in tho selection or tho slto or tho bund election. (Signed) I D. WIEST. Agreeing with Mr. Wlest thnt tho names of many who might and ought to bo on tho taxroll, by the ncgllgonco of someone nro not there, Tho Hullo ttn asked tho county assessor at Prlnevlllo to Indicate Just what n tax payer must do to bo sura his namo la on tho roll and has received from Assessor II. A. Foster tho following letter: "Yours of 10th Inst. Just to hand and noted, and will beg to say, you of course know that tho 1913 roils were compiled by my predecessor, and tho only reason that I could sug gest for names not appearing no tho rolls Is that the record of transfers wns probably not given duo consider ation. "1 am at loss to know who would have tho correction of this matter, unless It would be tho shorlff, who 1 think would have tho authority to mako the proper corrections. I will call his attention to tho matter to morrow, for consideration. "As to what local peoplo will havo to do to get tholr property assessed In their own name, I will mako an offort to get every ono's property properly assessed for 1913, but tho laxity of tho past In keeping up tho record of transfers may causo mo somo trouble. I will nlwajs bo glad to hear from anyono that has reason to bcllove that they tuivo been over looked, or neglected In any way." 1 USE OF WATER STATE ALLOWS APPROPRIATIONS For Quarter Ending March tit, tho State Engineer Indues It to Var ious Person In CVntril Oregon, Mottly For I r.r I s ft lion.
