Abatement of Taxes FroWn-
ed Upon by State Auditor
Who Quotes Law

Bismarck, n. D.. Jan. 30-"I don't
understand why the boards of COM
missioners of some counties continue
to reduce or abate assessments" said
State Auditor Brightbill. The prac.
tice Is illegal and has been so held
by the supreme court Of the state"
ut may be that the commissioners
are w of such an opinion sug-
gested the reporter.
They have been advised of the
opinion by this Office and for the in
formation of the county auditors and
the commissioners l even went to the
trouble of making exact copies Of the
opinion in full that was handed down
by the supreme court a short time
CO.. The opinion Is the handed
down in the case of the City Of Mi
dents and taxpayers in the city of
Minot-plaintiffs and appellants, vs..
the board Of county commissioners,
and Rachael and Pete Ildvedson, de-
PENDANTS and respondents The coun.
ty commissioners in this case reduced
or abated certain assessments against
the Ildvedsons, and action was
brought to stop the abating of such
taxes, the claim being set up that the
commissioners had no right to re-
duce individual assessments or abate
Individual taxes. The court holds
that the commissioners cease to have
power to equalize assessments when
they adjourn as a board of equaliza-
ton. The only exceptions are in cas-
es where persons are assessed upon
property which they did not own
wrongful descriptions of land. etc. 1t
is held that the village or city boards
only have power to equalize asses
ments as between individuals. the
county commissioners as between elias.
sifications. and the state board OF
equalization as between the several
counties.
The court further states in this
opinion that if reductions and abate-
ments for individuals were made no
municipality could rely on the finality
of the action of the boards of equal
ization and the whole subject would
be thrown into chaos which is alb
solutely true.

Der Of the city government is progressive
and actually interested in the welfare Of
the city; desiring better streets, con-
crete sidewalks. sewerage and many
other necessities, and at same time con-
sidering the taxpayers, being economical
in many cases to a distressing degree, in
order to protect those who must pay the
freight. Few of our readers possibly
ever pause to cynsider the wages paid
to these gentlemen in whose care is
placed the guardianship of the entire
city affairs. In view Of this fact, and
the fact that Richmond pays to her
public servants a smaller salary than
any city of her class in Kentucky.
especially is this true regarding the
mayors salary, would it not be to the
credit Of the city TO offer to her chief
executive an amount commensurate
with the dignity Of the Office. even
though we fail to consider the many
and varied duties this official must per-
form. This article was conceived in the
mind of the writer and was not sug-
gested by anyone connected with the
present city administration, nor have we
any idea as to who viii be a candidate
TO succeed the present incumbent but
whoever il may be we would urge the
city council to offer as an inducement
for service a salary adequate with the
duties involved.

a number of those aboard the train thai
Maysville was the only city through
which they had passed that had shown
as much enthusiasm as was displayed
here. In the gathering were more than
seven hundred students from the East

Crabbe, and nearly six hundred pupils
from Caldwell High School, accom-
panied by Superintendent ID. w. Bridges.
Superintendent of County Schools, John
holland was present with about eighty
members of the Madison County Corn
Club, and it was estimated that fully
300 farmers were in the city from diff
ferent sections of the county, together
with others who were present swelled
the crowd to about three thousand PEG
pie. With all the cars packed, groups
of several hundred each collected about
the live stock car, where Prof. Hooper
gave a demonstration; about three bag
gage trucks, in different parts of the
train shed. from which Mr.. Mar:indale
and Prof. Roberts talked soils and corn
growing and Miss Knowles domestic
science, and an embanknent, from
which Mr.. Wing spoke about alfalfa.
Commissioner Newman, in his speech
of welcome to the crowd here, gave high

whose confidence has placed them in

performance Of a service that is ordin-

or appreciate the service that is given

down, and fewer perhaps consider the
measly salary attached. Our mayor
receives a stipend of $3.50 per year;
members Of the city council $50 per
year, and other officials in proportion.

suggestion. The Scripture selections
