Jefferson City, April 7, 1906. Mado by J.C. Lowell, Mass | DEAR Sir:—Oaaccountofthemany Roo at re gosdid inquiries went to this offive from yers: GUE counties affected by the recent deci- CHERRY PECTORAL, sion of the Supreme Court, holding tes ch Sra vis tonietots, unconsttt utional the law under which _ Linn county had adopted township ae organization, the following general ANNOUNCEMENTS, statement, bearing upon the situa: —-— tion in said counties, is made: 1 am informed that the Governor has decided not to call an extra ses- sion of the General Assembly for the parpose of enacting laws to meet the emergency brought about by reason of the aforesaid decision. The coun- ties affected, therefore, will have to deal with the situation under exist- ing law. The effect of the decision referred to is that township* organi- tion made by the township asses- sors for the year 1905, on which ascessment the taxes for the year 1906 were expected to be collected, There is no danger that the taxes for such year will be lost, for the law has made ample provision to safe- guard against ench contingency, but the important question remains whether taxes can be collected at the time contemplated, or whether the erilection shall be delayed one year by reson of the necessity of a new assessment in lieu of the oneso made by the township assessor. I am of the opinion that the requirements of the law as to the assessment, equali- zation and levy of taxes could not now be complied with so as to make the taxes on the property assessable last year legally collectible this year. Nor dol believe that there is any method by which the county court or the incoming county assessor could adopt the township assessment already made so as to make the taxes tobe levied thereon legally |aa though a decision had not been collectible this year.

Therefore, the tax- payer who promptly paid bis taxes under the township assessment could not lose by such course, while the taxpayer who refused could not profit by such refueal. Inquiries have also been received concerning the settling up of the township business, the disposition of public funds now in the hands of township officials, the payment of township officials for services render- ed, township obligations, ete. The decision in the Linn County case throws no light upon this subject, and as it does not directly fuvolve any other county, and since the winding up of sue township business of the present year would not be dif- ferent from that of former years, 80 far as said decision is concerned, I would advise that sestlement be made and township obligations paid Then your blood must be in @ very bad condition.
