On Taxes
The Board of Equilization of Mal
heur County heard vehement pro
tests over the manner in which tax
valuations are being made in the
county, to the detriment of the
farmers. One protest coming from
farmers in the Big Bend district
brought out the disparity in valua
tion between farms in the same lo
calities.
Charles Flegel. manager for the
Eastern Oregon Land company was
another protestant, showing that
range lands were being valued at
around $1 per acre whereas the act
ual value was only $1.125 and that
on a percentage basis the valuat
ion was not equitable where farm
ing lands were valued at around 50
per cent of their value.
No action has been taken yet on
the protests, but it is expected that
the board will bring it’s session to
an end the latter part of this week
or the first part of next, when rec
ommendations and definite action
will be released. A. A. Selander,
chief appraisal engineer for the
State Tax Commission and two as
sistants have been in the county
making a survey of tax appraisals
in the county for a report to the
State Tax Commission. This survey
has no bearing on the meeting of
the county board.

School Opening
Postponed Week
The opening of the Nyssa high
and grade schools has been post
poned for one week, following the
action of the two boards which met
Tuesday night and set Monday.
September 9. as the official day of
opening.
The reason for the postponement
was given as due to the two cases of
infantile paralysis that broke out
last week in Nyssa. and to preclude
any possibility of spreading tire
disease the late date was set.
Registration of students in the
high school will officially close this
coming Friday (August 30, but those
who find it impossible may do so up
to the time school opens, according
to Henry Hertley, principal.
Two new teachers have been add
ed to the faculty. F. Stark, a gradu
ate of Pacific University will teach
science and Gilbert Henry, a grad
uate of Oregon State University will
teach commercial work.
Principal Hollenberg said that he
had made an error in his recent
announcement on the date on which
new grade school students must
have reached the age of six years.
His announcement should have read
“must be six years old by November
15, 1940."
