THE NEW LAW REGULATING THE
: PAYMENT OF CLAIMS TO PART
les OWING THE COUNTY BOTH
BRING THE GRAND FORKS COM
MIsSIONERs.
The matter that received the great
est attention of the board. says the
Grand Forks Herald, was the law
passed at the last session of the state
legislature, which provides that where
the county is indebted to any person
whose personal property taxes are de-
linquent, the amount of the claim shall
be applied on the taxes. At a pre-
vious meeting the question as to how
to enforce the law was discussed, but
10 action has been taken in the matter.
1t was suggested some time ago that
the enforcement of the law should be
left in the hands of the county treas
urer, but this plan was not at all feas-
ible, as any person to whom warrant
was issued, and who was indebted to
the county for personal property taxes
could cash the warrant wherever he
wished, and in fact the greater num-
ber of the warrants are not cashed by
those to whom they are made payable
at the treasurers Office, but at the
banks and places where they do their
regular trading.
After a lengthy discussion it was de-
cided that hereafter all bids that were
presented to the county should be re-
ferred to the treasurer before they
We're allowed, and that if the person
presenting the bill was delinquent in
his personal property taxes, the
amount of the taxes would be deducted
from the warrant. This was thought
to be the only feasible plan, but is one
that is not very highly appreciated by
Treasurer Elton or any other treas
urer, as it will result in great deal Of
extra work,
The new law is not looked upon with
very great favor by the commissioners
who state that it will be very difficult
| to enforce it, and that it is clumsily
worded and cannot be fully understood
by any one but a lawyer.
