AN unusual document was filed i'm the
Federal court yesterday. 1t was a COM
munlcation from the Farmers Loan &
trust Company addressed to the court.
ana relates to matters connected with the
reorganization of the Oregon Improve
ment Company. The communication
states that the trust company has been
served with petition by Receiver Smith
Tor leave to purchase new steamer, and
TO authorize him TO borrow money or issue
receivers certificates for the payment of
the same to the amount of 500 600. Fur
ther, II is stated that the trust company
has consented that such a petition be SUBJ
mitted TO the court for such action as the
court may deem best. not beina sufficient
~ advised In the matter as to either favor
or oppose the petition.
After the receipt of the notice of Re-
ceiNer Smiths Intentions, il is set up that
the trust company was served with a de-
mand on the part of the Amy committee
that 1T tthe trust company appear in
court In behalf of the security holders and
oppose the granting of the petition and
the authorization for the issuance Of the
receivers certificates. Further II is stated

A DEFECT And The REMEDY
The Commissioners Cite a PrOyis0
to Which They Object.
They Allege That a Clause in the
Appropriation Bill VIII Vitiate
Sales for Taxes.

The attention of the Hon. William B.
Allison, chairman of the Committee on APP
propriati OILS. has been called by the
Commissioners to defect i'll the District
House. which, if permitted to go uncor-
rected would, In their opinion, invalidate
all sales for delinquent taxes for which the
advertisement will soon be issued. The
error is III the proviso with respect to
the remission OF past penalties.
The provision is that ''all penalties ON
taxes due and payable on or before the st
day of January, / S96 shall be RENTED,
provided that the taxes upon which the
penalties We're added shall be paid. with
6 per centum interest, ON or before January
8, 1898"
1t is believed by the Commissioners that
the clause should be stricken out entirely,
butthey suggest.i in case the Senate commit
tee shall consider such legislation ad-
visable. .thatth year" 1856" be stricken out
and 1895" substituted.
The advertisement of property this year
Is for deilnquencies in payments for the
year S96, and the exemption of the pen
alties for that year, the Commissioners
say, will vitiate the sales for that year
now about to take place.
In support of their views a letter from
Col. E. g. Davis, collector of taxes, which
was approved by the attorney for the Dis
trict, was forwarded to Congress with
the Commissioners communication. The
bill appropriates $1,000 for advertising
the delinquent list, which is to be REIN,
