A Card.


Mr.. MAHIS:- my name has appeared
in your columns, asking for "abatcment' o
levee taxes, l would esteem it favor to give
the reasons. The Legislature was very ex-
plicit in ordering taxes to be levied only on
lands between the leree and the slough. Mr..
Hoyt, the Levee Commissioner, the Hon. the
Circuit Judge, and many others held that the
levee might legally, and, in their opinion
ought to be, so located as not to take in my
lands. Until the decision of the Supreme
Court, last Spring, defining and fixing the To-
cation, they were, in no proper sense, between
the levee and slough, and of course any taxes
levied on them before that time were illegal
and erroneous. No other person was called
upon to pay taxes until he knew that his
lands were to be protected when the levee
was finished. That was con mon sense and
justice, and in my simplicity I supposed the
same rule ought to apply to myself. Unfor-
tunately for me, but not designedly by the
Board, my claim was referred to committee,
of which Mr.. VIM. Hoyt (the very individual
who had put me to the expense of going to
the Supreme Court to locate the levee) was
chairman. 1t is made the duty of the Board
of Supervisors to order the collector to refund
all taxes illegally or enormously levied and
paid. A technical objection was raised because
had not paid the taxes, nor had the land
been sold. To avoid this objection the Board
very courteously allowed my claim to come
before them in different form and referred it
to different committee. By the advice of
their legal counsel, that committee reported
against me and my claim was rejected. |
| bow to their descision. This levee suit was
the only one ever thought it my duty to
commence. No man can voluntarily NEEDLE
with the law without suffering in character.
The principles and law on which l asked the
remission (not abatement) of my levee taxes
were Just aud if tried with legal advisors on
both sides would doubtless result in my
favor. Very respectfully yours,
| J. S. HORTON.
