PUBLISH ASSESSMENT ROLL
Complete List of Property Valuation
Ordered Printed in Benton
County.

The Assessor of Benton county has
completed the 1904 assessment roll and
the county court has ordered the
name of every taxpayer published, to-
gether with the total number of dollars
for which each is assessed. The list
appears in this weeks issue of the
Corvallis Timas. The object of the
publication is to inform each tax
payer Of the amount Of his assessment
prior to the meeting of the county
board of equalization, and also to ex-
pose tax-dodgers, if any there be. The
value of such publicity will be imme-
diately recognized by any person who
will give the matter a moments
thought, and it is course that has
long been advocated by the newspapers
Of Oregon. The method has the
unanimous endorsement of the men,
bers of the Oregon Press Association,
and it is altogether probable that the
next Legislature will be asked to pass
law making it compulsory in every
county to publish list similar to the
one voluntarily published in Benton
county. The Times says editorially
''A list of the valuation of the real,
and of the personal property of every
taxpayer in Benton county, appears in
this issue of the Times It's publica-
ton was ordered by the county court
at a recent session, and copy is to
be placed in the hands of every tax
payer By means of it, each will see
at glance what his property valu-
alton for assessment purposes is, and
will, at once know whether or not he
desires to go before the county board
of equalization, which meets Monday,
September Goth, to secure reduction,
or other adjustment.
1.-THE function of the county board
of equalization is to make proper
and uniform adjustment of assess
ments. 1t is the only body charged
with that duty. 1t meets for a week
and then adjourns. After that, tax
payers have but little chance in case
of improper assessment, to get ar ad-
justment of their taxes. Ordinarily,
the board meets and adjourns before
taxpayers know how or for what
amount they are assessed, and then it
is too late to apply a remedy. To give
them timely notice of what amounts
they are assessed for, SO they can go
before the county board for re- e-adjust- |
ment if they desire to, is the reason
why the full list of the taxpayers and
their assessments appear in this issue
Of the Times"

Exhibit Brought Home.

Polk countys prize-winning exhibit
was brought over from Salem, Tues
day afternoon, and was stored in q
vacant room in the courthouse, where
it will remain until needed for display
at the Lewis and Clark Fair in 1905.
The exhibit will be safe from fire in
the courthouse, and was stored there
upon the suggestion Of County Judge
Coad, NJ. NJ Ellis and others who took
an active part in assisting Mrs Wolfe
to prepare it, The officers Of the Lewis
and Clark Fair were anxious to pur-
chase the exhibit and ship it to Port
land at once, but as Polk county is
preparing to make an exhibit at the
Fair on her own account, it was
thought best to keep the present exhib-
itand add to it such specimens Of fruit,
grain and grasses as may be collected
between now and the opening Of the
big Fair next year.

SEWERS ARE PAID FOR
City Treasurer Reports That All
Assessments Have Been
Collected.

Every dollar of the assessment
levied by the city council for the con-
struction of the Court and Mill street
sewers has been paid, and the warrants
given in payment for the work have
been called in and Cancelled. The
assessment amounted to $3184, and
nearly 100 property owners were
assessed for the improvement This
prompt payment will relieve the city
from further trouble or expense, as it
will not be necessary to sell any
property in satisfaction of the assess
ment, and there will be no further
interest to pay on sewer warrants. 1t
is seldom that an improvement of
such magnitude is carried out without
the necessity of resorting to a sale of
at least a few pieces of property to
satisfy unpaid assessments, and the
ready and cheerful manner in which
this tax was paid speaks volumes for
the enterprise and prosperity of
Dallas.
At the regular meeting Of the city
council, Monday evening, all of the
members of the board were present,
Councilman Boals having arrived
home from the East last Friday.
Claims against the city were ordered
paid as follows:

M. D, Coulter, sprinkling streets 600
Frank Ludwig, work on streets 200
An ordinance regulating the man
ner Of driving cattle through the
streets was read the second time and
was passed, the council voting as
follows; Aye, Muir, Cosper, Boals,
Belt, Simonton; no, Muscott. This
ordinance provides that when cattle
are not led through the streets, they
must be driven by not less than two
persons, and that the animals must |
be under the control of the drivers at |
all times. Violation of the ordinance
is punishable by fine Of not less
than IS nor more than $50
The Auditor was instructed to serve
notice on the owners Of property on
Ash street, between Main and Rail
road streets, that the council contem
plates the passage of an ordinance re-
quiring the improvement of that part
of the street by grading and gravel
ing. The council will meet on Mon
day, October 3, at 80 p. M, to hear
and determine objections or remon-
strances to the improvement
