ESPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIBB1NG; Minn., Aug. 12-One
million and nine hundred thousand
dollars is the tax levy authorized by
the village council for 1916 at the
meeting last night. This includes
$1,500,000 general fund; $250,000
water and light department and $780,
900, library fund.
Trustees Rupert Swinnerton, John
Curran and B. J. Burrows and Mayor
Victor L. Power all voted yes for the
resolution which was suggested by
Mayor Power and passed on motion
offered by Swinnerton seconded by
Curran.
"Since the mining companies will
not consent to a bond issue l believe
that this is the only possible way we
can take care Of the Indebtedness" "
Rupert Swinnerton stated.
"Since the mining companies are
going to fight over $40, believe we
should make them fight for someth-
ing", Mayor Power said. II do not
think we should be "the dog in the
manger" and leave the next council
with similar situation to the one we
have had. By such a levy we can pro-
vide sufficiently large sinking fund
so that the present financial crisis
will not again occur" he said.

BATTALION TO

Apparent it is Planned to
Concentrate Considerable
Force at Brownsville.
{BY ASSOCIATED PREss.)

(bY ASSOC1AiED PHESS.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-General
Funston reported today that he has
sent battalion of the Ninth infantry
from Laredo to Brownsville, Texas.
He made no request, however, for ad-
ditional troops in response to Secre-
tary Garrison's message of yesterday,
saying that all movable forces now
on the border would be sent to Texas,
if needed.
War department officials would not
discuss reports that secret organiz-
ers are in Texas aligning Mexicans
under the "plan of San Diego" 1t is
apparent, however, that Funston has
decided to concentrate a considerable
force in the Brownsville district,
where the trouble seems to center.

NO ACTION IS
taken TODAY
IN TAX CASE
State Auditor May Seize and
and Sell Ore to Relieve
Situation at Hibbing.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 12.-No action
was taken today by J. A. O. Preus,
state auditor, relative to interfering in
Hibbing's $1,500,000 back tax muddle,
pending further study of the situation
by Attorney General Smith. Three
courses of action are open to Preus.
He can bring suit through the county
attorney of St. Louis county, to en-
join the mining companies, from re-
moving any more ore until the taxes
are paid. He can start criminal
action against the mining company
officials alleging a gross misdeamor
has been committed by the non-pay-
ment of taxes, or he can seize the ore
and sell it to obtain money to pay the
taxes. While neither Preus or Smith
would comment on the situation it is
rumored at the capital that the last
plan of action probably would be the
one taken by Preus provided he deem
ed it necessary to intervene. 1t is
pointed out by observers that neither
injunction proceedings preventing re-
moval of the ore nor criminal pro-
ceedings would get at the crux OF the
situation. What is wanted in Hibbing
is money. These measures would
mean delay in the courts perhaps fol
two years. By seizing the ore and
selling it the state auditor would be ir
position to help out the village a
soon rs the ore was marketed.

to making such large levy but voted
for it when assured by Mayor Power
that it is allowed by statute. Trustee
Curran made no comment on the mat
ter but seconded the motion and vot-
ed for it's passage.
The levy authorized by resolution,
a copy of which will be sent to the
county auditor before August Is, is
twice as much as that of 1915, over
which the tax controversy between
the mining companies and the village
council was precipitated.
The statutes empower the village
council to levy a 3 mill take for
library buildings |and maintainence.
It was decided not to take the entire
three mill levy, however. A three
mill tax levy on the Hibbing valuation
would amount to $42O,O0O.
The amount of the library fund is
unusually large however, because it
is understood that new library is to
be built during the next IL months,
according to a statement by Mayor
Power. ]
A five mill tax is allowed according
to the statutes for maintenance for
the Water & Light department. The
budget submitted gy the Water &
Light board to the council however,
called for only $25O,000, so that
amount was authorized by the council.
