SHALL CAREY LANDS PAY TAXES
Glenn r.. Boutwell, Brings Suit to Test
the COunty's Right to
Tax Them

On December 20 Glenn R. Boutwell,
for himself and as many others as
wish to share the costs of suit,
brought an action against Bingham
county and H. c. G. Rich, assessor
and collector, to restrain said asses
sor Rich from reporting his or their
farm lands in the list of delinquent
taxes for the following reasons:
The lands in question are under con-
tract between the federal and state
governments and the American Falls
Canal Co., and title is not sufficient
ly perfected to give to the prospec-
tive owners the full rights of title,
and for this reason the said Boutwell,
refuses payment of taxes on the land,
and as Assessor Rich has levied for
$36.86 tax for 1911, ana unless re-
strained by an order from court Will
in due time report it delinquent and
thereby cloud the title, plaintiff
prays for relief.
The attorneys are VIM. A. Lee of
Blackfoot, and Kkeen Bros & wilkins
of Salt Lake City.
