7 PAY SEWER
ATTORNEY PHIPPS
W. E. Phlpps has Issued tho fol
lowing open letter regarding sower
assessments:
To thu Public:
All persons who own property In
Mcdford Sewer District 13 nro hereby
Informed that they aro not required
to pay assessments for tho Central
avenue trunk sewer. This sower as
sessment was cancelled by decree of
the circuit court about three months
ago, nevertheless the city Is attempt
ing to collect It.
Tho Medford city recorder had no
tice tho day this assessment wns
annulled and the county assessor
'should havo known about It for the
finding nnd decree tiro of public rec
ord In the court house, nnd tho fact
was printed as a matter of news in
tho local papers.
Notwithstanding tlJfH notice nnd tho
knowlodgu that thu nxsessment wns
'void, these officials have entered tho
hundreds of Items of this nssessmnnt,
amounting to some 74000 upon tho
tax roll ngnlnst the property owners
of this sewer district, thereby creating
a cloud against tho tltlo of every par
col of proorty affected.
For this net those officials nre ac
tually guilty of contempt of court, and
besides nro breeding damago suits
against tho city. Would not tho city
bo liable If real estate deals are brok
en off by the shwlng f theso vld as
sessments In nbstrncts? And since
tho city Is not legally untitled to tho
money thus collected, the question
naturally arises, what aro tho offi
cials going to do about il? I trust
we aro not relapsing Into tho palmy,
nicy days somo five yearn gone by.
Tho treasurer will accept your state
and county taxes without tho payment
of this wcro assessment, so do not
pay It. W. E. PHIPPS.
