; D0INQ5 AT THE
J Item of Interest to the Taxpayers of Josephine County
From the Various County Officials X X
Now Tax Law Causes Muddle.
Sheriff Rassell is in somewhat of
s quandary as to what to do with re
tard to the delinquent tax list. At
oue time he prepared the list for pub
lication and bad everything ready for
the printer, but along cam the an
anouscement that the majority of the
counties in the state were going to
abide by th new law, even though
Attorney-Ueneral Crawford had ad
vised that the old law was to be fol
lowed in tbs matter. Now he ia as
much ' at sea" as aver. H believes
that the proi ertv owners who are thus
dersllct in paying their taxes should
have some kind of notice and so, al
though the new law does not seem
'o intend anythiug of the kind, he
gives a notice in today's Courier
Like other people, who have investi
gated, he tninks that the last legisla
ture modelled things a bit and instead
of economizing, they have probably
blundered and the taxpayers will have
to foot the bill.

How to Get New School District.
Elsewhen In todays Courier is to be
fooud a eommnnication from a rest
dent of Speaker relative to the esttb
lishinit of a poblio school in that
locality. The Courier reporter inter
viewed County Superintendent Sv
age regarding the said matter and
fonnd Mr. Savaiie conversant with th
conditions as they nisi out tl at way.
Ha remarked that if the people in the
vicinity of Speaker desired to have a
school and could satisfy the school
boundary board that they had at least
13 children of school age who wer
not transients but were there to re
side permanently, then there wonld
doubtless be no hitch in the matter.
He remarked that he had been con
sulted by some of the Speaker folks,
along this line and that be had ad
vised them to proceed after this
fashion. He took occasion to also
say that some school districts were
having to be consolidated with others,
because they did not succeed in keep
ing enough children in the neighbor
hood, to allow the board to continue
the said schools. This was doe, be
said, to varions causes. In some in
stances a few parties had bought np
large traots of land, for grazing and
like purposes, which kept the people
frpin settling in that neighborhood.
Hd assured the Courier that he and
the distriot boundary committee
were always ready to co-operate for
the best interests of each and every
locality in the coonty.
