Ass. and Col. Alturas county.
The bill creating Elmore county
provides for the payment of FL
more's share of the bonded indebt-
edness of Alturas, and this county
sent a representative to HALEY to
assist in apportioning the indebted
ness, as did also Logan, but our
generous and just friends at HALEY
refused to recognize Messrs. Corker
and Baker and they returned to
their respective land respected)
counties without accomplishing any
thing in this direction.
Following is the section upon
which Bellicose Bellinger places so
much stress, and by simply refer
ring to it in his letters he hopes TO
bulldose some weak-minded tax
payers of Gilmore into contributing
TO his support. We know they are
hard up for coin in HALEY, but this
scheme won't work Far better
would it be to dig up the remain
of the Fourth of July fund of 1887,
add ii t. your present relief fund
and then make a dizzy" among the
favored few Of your town. BY so
doing you may get gingle in your
pockets much sooner than by at
tempting to extort money from the
honest people Of Gilmore,
But here is the section referred
TO, word for word;
SEC. 1905 The Board must cause to
be levied annually upon all the taxa
hle property oi the county, III addition
to other authorized taxes, "a sufficient
sum TO pay the interest On all bonds
disposed of III pursuance OF the pro-
visions of this chapter, and must at
least one year before such bonds be-
COME due, aud in time To provide the
means Tor their payment, eause to be
levied sufficient additional sum To
pay said bonds as they become due,
and all such taxes must he levied, AS
-.ss.d and collected as Other county
taxes, until the bonds so issned are
fully paid, including the interest
thereof; the faith. credit and all tax
able property within the limits Of the
county ~ constituted at the time OF
such issue are, aud must continue
pledged, and the proper officer of the
county must continue to assess and
collect.all the tnxabls property within
su. h limits, the necessary taxes to pay
said bonds and interest thereon rs the
same becomes due; but the SEGRE-
GATED territory must be relieved OF
such taxation when the county ac-
quIring such territory pays TO the
county losing the same. the same pro-
portion OF the whole Indebtedness of
the county as the assessed value of the
property IN the segregated territory
bears to tine assessed value of the
property in the whole county. as con
stitu,ed before tho DIVISION thereof.
should the tax for the payment of
interest on any bonds issued under the
provisions oi this chapter, at any time
net be levied or collected in time to
meet sueh payment. the interest mus,
be paid out 81 any moneys in the
county general or current expense
fund 81 the county, and the moneys so
used for such payment OF interest
mast be repaid 10 the fund from which
50 taken out Of the first moneys col
lected from taxes.
Elmore county has attempted to
comply with the law, but was frus4
trated by the Haley officials. She
is ready to pay the interest on the
bonds whenever the Haileyites will
permit her TO ascertain Elmore's
proportion of Alturas' debt.
The Akin Bros advise us To hit
