viii Arbitrarily Collect the State Bullion Tax


An arbitrary assessment on the
entire output of the Glendale prop.
erty for the quarter ending June 30
and amounting to $4,000 was ordered
levied by District Attorney Cleve Baker
yesterday. Sheriff Owens will accord
ingly proceed to carry out the instruc-
tions and make his returns probably be-
fore the end of the present week. This
is the result of a sworn statement fur
nished to the sheriff and assessor and
the bullion tax office last September by
Edward Clifford, Sr.
The report gave the output of the
Glendale property for that quarter as
five tons, with total value of $50, 200.
Against this a charge of approximately
$17,500 was made. Clifford offered a
check of about $40 in payment for taxes
on the net proceeds according to this
statement Bullion Tax Collector
Haley refused to approve the report
and recommended to Sheriff Owens
that the check be returned to Clifford.
This was done, and the first steps to-
ward collecting the assessment were
taken upon the arrival of the bullion
tax collector yesterday. 1t is under
stood that the assessment will not be
contested. In this event Clifford will
be compelled to pay tax upon the
entire output and will not be allowed
to charge any item of expense against
it, In addition to this penalty of 10
per cent to the gross amount of taxes
will be added. Tonopah Bonanza.
