EMERY E. VALENTINE
 MUST PAY UP
 TAXES FOR 1918

Emery Valentine win be obliged tol pay property taxes delinquent since the year 1918 according to Q decision rendered by Judge Jennings this ai- ternoon at the close Of the hearing of the matter of protests filed by the Messrs Valentine, Julver. ct al to pre- vent the City of Juneau from selling property on which taxes were delin- Quent. Mayor Beck. and Councilman Willis and Britt testified this after Loon.
 The defense charged that the coun- cn failed to comply with the statute in regard to the designation of paper in which the delinquent roll was to be published. and that an officer not particularly appointed by Che council was named to compile the roll. The law provides. they contended. that the delinquent list be compiled by the city assessor or some specially desig- mated officer
 In support of the action of the city, Attorney Hellenthal argued that since the delinquent roll actually was pub lished. the very publication was des- ! ignation of a paper in which to com municate the list to the public.
 It seems that at 9 meeting of the council held on Aug. 26, 1913, it was decided to publish the delinquent tax roll, but at that meeting no paper was designated. Previously. however, and on different occasion. 1t had been informally agreed that personal tax ! deiinQuencies should be published in ! The Empire and property delinquen- cies in The Dispatch. The delinquent list was read and was Q few days lat er published in The Dispatch. Later the omission of the name of the paper was noted in the minutes of the coun- cil meeting by the city's attorney. Mr. Hellenthal, and he suggested an amendment motion concerning the de- linQuent roll to the effect that a pa- per be designated. This amendment was made and passed on October 30 and incorporated in the minutes. as those of a special meeting called for that sole purpose.
 The protestants held therefore. that there was legally no delinquent roll for the year 1913 and based their case upon that technicality
 Delinquent taxes have been more or less a bone of contention between the present protestants and the city for several years. the amount of the delinquency increasing with each time the matter comes up in court. In the present suit the city is represented by Hellenthal & Hellenthal while J. H. Cob represents Mir. Valentine, E. L.. Pulver Mrs. r. M. Berry, W. R. Moore and the estates of Richard Johnson and G. M Irwin.
 These protestants charge that these taxes are levied under the old ordi- nance and that under that provision the city assessor was the only person authorized to compile teh tax list. The ! lprotestants allege the list was com piled by the city clerk and therefore since he was not authorized to form it. the assessment is not legal The objection is filed chiefly against the taxes assessed for the year 1913, and for which the city has declared the ! protestants to be delinquent. and has made application for permission to sell the properties concerned in order to recover the amount of delinquency. The amount in each case are as fol-
