The Open Forum An official communication from Dr. Elwood Mead to H. D.

"The reporter! stated, or implied. that all of the assessments against lands ot the Enterprise Land & In vestment company had been remit ted, whereas this statement applies only to some 85 acres. Presumably the officials of the district do not deny that the sheriff was directed to cancel taxes on this area. "I opposed the exclusion from the district boundaries of the 85 acres of the Enterprise lands in ..the be lief that such action violated the law and provisions of contract with the United States. This belief is shared by my legal advisers.
