trIct Tax-other Matters.

w. F. Peterson appeared before the
Board of Supervisors yesterday and
wanted to know II the county was going
to pay the judgment recovered by him
for the collection of tax imposed upon
him for building new schoolhouse IN
Enterprise School District.
Peterson brought suit against the
county on the ground that the tax was IL
legally levied, and a decision In his
favor was rendered by Superior Judge
Catlin. Judge Grant of Yolo County
also rendered a decision in favor OF
Walter D. Miller in suit brought by
him against the county involving the
same subject.
Peterson also wanted the board to in
struct District Attorney Ryan not to
carry the matter to the Supreme Court
He said he did not think it was fair on
the part of the board to force the taxpay-
ers of the district TO additional expense
by allowing the case TO be appealed.
Supervisor Jenkins said the residents
OF the district should not have attempted
to prevent the construction of the school
house, when q new one had been abso-
lutely necessary for number of years.
He attended school in the old building
OYER thirty years ago, and remembers ols-
tinctly when on stormy days the teacher
had to adjourn school for fear that the
building would collapse.
Further action in the matter was de-
fsrred until this morning.
