TAXATION
OF THE
FRANCHISE
Involved in Assessment OF
The Ditch
Water Power In This State
Said Not TO Be Taxed

One Of the part-owners Of the San
tam water ditch. which has been list
ed by the assessor of Marion county a
$4,000 for the purpose Of assessment
and which has never been assessed be
fore. called at this Office and mad,
some interesting statements about th,
whole matter IN controversy.
Il seems the Salem wooden mills
the Salem Water Co. and the Salem
FIGURING mills each own one-third II
the south half Of this water ditch. and
pay their share Of keeping II open, and
the Willamette Valley Milling Com.
pany, at Portland, owns the other half
or the north half. with the brick mills
and site.
The latter has offered at times 10
sell the same to the state or city for
$4,000, claiming that It cost them
$4,000 purchase price. Since the liti.
cation over the right OF the state 20
take water from the ditch in excess ~
two inches pipe service, the state has
been paying $1,000 a year for water
from the ditch.
The owners Of the ditch and water
power claim they pay on their mill
property and plants. and that II would
be double taxation to assess the fran.
chise again. and that 1t was not the
custom in the state to tax such fran.
chises. The water power at Oregon
City is not taxed. although Il uses the
whole flow OF the Willamette river.
The city Of Salem might buy the
north half OF this power n II can be

tlcally the only water power available

SUIT OVER
FINE PIANO
George c. VIII. a Local Dealer, Brings
Action Against Z. J. Riggs, the
Drugglst-Alleges Non.FulHllment
Of Contract.

George @. VIII. the music dealer
Of this city has begun suit in the Ma
rion county circuit court against Zadoc
J. Riggs, Salem druggist, TO recover
500 and his costs and disbursements.
In his complaint, WIN alleges that
last July he sold Riggs one Gramer
plano az the agreed price OF $3.50. I'm
der the terms OF the alleged transac-
ton, II is represented that Riggs was
to pay $50 on delivery and acceptance
OF the piano, and the balance OF the
purchase price was TO be paid on the
installment plan In monthly payments
OF $40. win claims TO have discharged
his part of the contract but charges
that Riggs failed 10 comply with his
part Judgment In asked for the lnl.
tial payment OF $50. and the first In.
stallment OF $40 and costs.
The facts In the case are these. on
July goth, last, WIN delivered to Riggs
a piano under an agreement for the.
sale OF the same, which Riggs claims
was conditional upon his approval and
acceptance OF the instrument Riggs
subsequently sent the piano back To-
the music store OF Mr.. Will claiming
that Il had proven unsatisfactory. Mr..
win refused TO receive the piano from
the drayman, and. permission having
been granted the toamster deposited

this matter, which have lasted for many

reason, has fought the project from the

sistency, or as some look upon II with
