DELINQUENT TAX CANCELLATION IN COOS HELD VALID Marshfield, Dec. 2. i.Tl An act allowing cancellation of de linquent property taxes for 1036 and prior years in cities whose assessed valuation was material ly reduced by fire was declared constitutional today by Circuit Judge James T. Drand. The act was passed by the 1937 Oregon legislature as a re lief measure for Bandon. where a 1936 fire reduced assessed valuation from $783,310 to $310,161. Judge Brand's ruling was made in a demurrer in the suit brought by the City of Bandon against Sheriff William F. How ell, who, by arrangement, re- iuh'u iu uonor nennqueni tax cancellations by the city, Ban don school district. Port of Ban don and Coos county. Howell charged the law was unconstitutional because it gave unequal benefits to tax payers. Judge Brand, admitting the question was close, ruled the cancellation applied to taxes not owed for the specific purpose of bond retirement. INSURANCE RATES IN PORTLAND CUT Salem, Dec. 2. P) Gover nor Charles A. Sprague an nounced today that the city of Portland has been placed in class two by the Pacific Board of Fire Underwriters, a change which will result in reduction of Portland fire insurance rates on an average of about eight percent according to the rating bureau estimates. "I am glad to announce this reclassification for Portland." the governor's statement said, "which is reported to me by Insurance Commissioner Hugh H. Earle. There is only one other city on the Pacific coast, Se attle, which has reached that good a classification. Portland's fire losses over a term of years have been sharply reduced and this fully justifies the change in class for the city which auto matically brings lowered insur ance rates." Cartoonist A Suicide Burbank, Calif., Dec. 2. WP) George W. Rehse, 70, retired newspaper cartoonist, was found shot to death in his automobile last night. A gun and a note telling of ill health and grief over the death of his wife were beside the body, police said.
