Gen. Pickle Holds That Act
of 1899 does not Apply
to Property Assess
ed in 1898.
AN IMP oRTANT DECISION.
Property of Delinquents Has Been
Advertised and Was to Have
Been Sold First Monday
in July.

There will be no change in the time
of the sale of the property of delinquent
taxpayers this year This is the ruling
Of Attorney General Pickle, which was
handed to Comptroller King yesterday.
The Comptroller had held that tt as
sessment bill passed by the last Legis-
lature applied to the assessment of
property in 1898 in this provision, and
had instructed the County Trustees TO
advertise the property of delinquents
for sale on June and to sell the same
on July /. This made the sale two
months earlier than the law of 1898, and
created considerable commotiOn among
the taxpayers in the various counties.
There was good deal of dissatistact-
ion, and Comptroller King asked Attor.
ney General Pickle for an opinion on
the case. Gen. Pickle, after careful
examination of the law, rules that the
act OF 1899 does not apply to the assess
ment of 1898. His opinion is brief and
is as follows:
AT your suggestion, | have examin
ell the act of 1899, with view to ascer
tain whether lands shall be sold on this
first Monday in July next for the tax 0
1898. have concluded that the lane
should be sold for taxes of 1898 unde
existing laws, and not under the act 0
1899"
Accompanying the opinion is a state
ment from Representative Bullock, wh'
was chairman of the House committed
which drew the bill. He states that
was not the intention of the COMMITTEES
which drafted the bill to have lands as
sessed in 1898 sold on the first Monda,
in July, nor that the enlarged penalt,
should accrue on same.
Comptroller King had already hell
that no extra penalty should accrue
and the effect of the ruling of Gen
Pickle will only be to place the time 0
selling the property sit WAS in the &C
of 1s97-the first Monday in Septern
Der.
Notices have been sent out to tn
County Trustees throughout the Stat
advising them of the decision. Tn
question was an open one, and the la,
has been construed both ways, until tn
official opinion of Gen Pickle.
Comptroller King, which it will und
some of his work, said yesterday that b
was pleased that it had been so held
1t would give the taxpayers two month
longer in which to settle and create
better feeling towards the new law

serenity of an Indian summer.
Even Aas has laid the foundation

Confirmation exercises were held
last Sunday in the school house in

Another shooting match for tur-

Sunday. Though the weather was
cold the boys We're still able to main
tain their equilibrium. The highest
averages were as follows: Oscar
Oseth, first Hiram Knutson, second :;
Otto Field, third Ole Thor, fourth.
The boys are doing some practicing
so that they will make accurate

Last Wednesday, while all was

possession Of everything, and made
Mr.. and Mrs. Oseth acquainted with
the fact that it was the twenty fifth
anniversary of their wedding. The
surprise was complete. That the in
vaders had come to stay was proved
by the cart-loads of provisions
brought along. The ladies soon had
everything ready, and each one,
young and old, was allowed to be his
own boss at the table. Amusements
were soon in progress and continued
until early morning. Mr.. and Mrs.

of friends, and a beautiful clock from

Senator Hansbrough expressed salts
faction with the work of the late con-

attitude or the final settlement of the
serious problems with which the next
congress will have to wrestle.
