-McCollcich, of Portland, attorney for
tlio district, ami to Jesso Stearns, of

It Is considered probablo that tlio
tumtlon of tlio Steam plans for tlio
handling of tlio Jtmlntennnen und of
f tin project will cotno up for final con
nlilnratlon at that tlmo. If tlio board;
locdes to npprovo tlio district plan,
U li inoro than llkoly that such tuovu
will decide thn fato of tlio Htcarns
iilsn onco for all, but In event of tx
fnlluro to approvo tlio district plan It
& In barely possible tho Stearns plan
will coinu up for further considers
tlon. It la not considered likely that
tho dUtrlct plan will bo rejected, now
j)iveir. In fact, an Attorney (lotioral
Brown Htntoil to tho board at Its ro
cont meeting when tho district plan
was up for consideration, tho board
linn llttlo option and thorn li lltllo to

J to stated that tho law wan plain In
Itself that audi district could bo
formed and what tho board did one
wny or nnotlior had llttlo effect. Tho
Approval of tho district plan by tho,
lioard U considered nil a movo toward
lending tho moral support of tho

It Is undoratqpd that tho inoinbora of

In a recent Issuo of Tho Bulletin.
Hugh O'Knno assorted that former
work had been charged In largo nioas
uro to tho abutting proporty owners,
Indicating that ho opposed tho pres
ent plan, while It. P. Mlntcr annonccd
his opposition unless real benefits

bors.'looked on tho suggestion with
favor was Indicated by the unanimous
vote given to J. A. Bsstes' motion
that a commltteo bo appointed to
work with tho city council In putting
tho plan through. Mr. Kastes, II. M.
Grelner and II. K. Dran were appoint

(From Wednesday's Dally.)
SALEM, Or., Fob. 20. (Special to
Tho Dullotln.) -August A. Anderson,
doputy shorlff for Deschutes county,
has requested an opinion from tho
State Tax Commission as to whothcr
owners of porsonal proporty, In ad
vertising a public salo of such prop
orty, are required to noto ou tho sale
bills or advertisements unpaid taxes
against such property.

er Galloway writes:
"Replying to yours of Fobruary 14,
wo assumo that tho provision of law
to which you refor is that part of
Section 3684 of Lord's Oregon Laws,
as amended by the laws of 1017, pago
844, whtch reads as follows: 'Tho
taxoe assessed upon porsonal prop
orty shall bo a Hen upon all tho real
and porsonal proporty of tho person
assessed from and nftor tho dato
whon such assessment Is mado, and
no salo or transfor of olthor real or

such property.'

"Undor this provision tho lien tor
taxes on porsonal proporty attaches
Immediately whon such personal
property Is listed with tho county as
sessor and he has placed his valua
tion thereon; tha lion also follows
tho proporty notwithstanding any
chnngo of ownership.
"Wo do not find nny provision ot
law requiring an owner who adver
tises to soil real property, at public
salo to certify on tho notco ot such
salo that taxes on tho property have
boon paid; nor do wo think! that such
requirement Is to bo Inferred from
