FIJI Abbott has appealed the tax
case of Iron River township against the
Buckeye Stavc Company To the
supreme court. Mr.. Abbot is attorney
for the township and feels quite con
iidcnt of winning out in the upper
court. The case grew out Of the alleged
changing Of values on the township tax
roll of Iron River township Tor the year
1898, after il had been passed upon 10y
the board az review The local people,
company, refused TO pay any taxes
unless the outsiders also paid. ns they
knew that II such changes were proved
To have been made, the taxes were in
valid and the outsiders would take
advantage OF that fact Tho treasurer,
Phil Boyington, refused to enforce the
collection on either real or personal
property and made his return 20 the
county treasurer. The treasurer who
succeeded him. Edward Scott. requested
and obtained ~ warrant from County
Treasurer Moriarty who connseled him
to go slow in enforcing the payment 81
the delinquent personni taxes on the
warrant showing Mr. Scott decision 81
the supreme court when he thought
would defeat the collection OF such tax.
10 test the validity Of the warrant, Mr..
Scott seized two teams belonging To the
Buckeye people. The company re-
plevined and the cnse was decided
against the township by Judge Stone
last October.
