hold that where assessments have
been made to the extent provided by
the Act, and a landowner has paid
ms proportion, he is not liable to any
further assessment, because of the
fact that other landowners have fail
ed to pay the amounts assessed
against them. In other words, the
bondholder must look TO the assess
ment SO made, and can not have re
peated assessinants where part OF
the first remains uncollected.
In tins case also the Court held
that the money collected should be
pro-rated among the coupons falling
due in that year.
another OF these cases involving
the same District, was decided by
Judge Searcy in the case Of The In
terstate Trust Company VS.. The
Aiontezuma Valley Irrigation District

for mandamus.
1t was sought to compel the Board
of Directors of the District TO GER
tify u cumulative levy Of taxes OF
assessments to the County Commits
sioners, for the purpose of paying
certain district warrants held by the
petitioner.
In this case also, sufficient leviea
fof the payment of the warrants had
been made, but large portion Of
the leyies had not been collected.
In this case the judge held that the
assessments provided by the District
Act were local assessments for bene-
fits conferred, and not general tax,
and that the annual assessments for
maintenance of the system were of
the same nature.
That from the nature Of the inn
provement the purpose is to bring
the water into continuing contact
with the lands, which involves con-
tinuing and repeated work and ex-
penditure in maintenance and opera
tion.

Splendid Attendance Records.

During the month of November 36
rural schools in La Plata county had
an attendance record of over 80 per
cent. To County Superintendent Miss
Salabar is due much of the credit for
the excellent results. Miss Martha
Conroy, teacher at the Waterfall
ranch heads the list with a 100 per
cent and Miss Dolores Mccormick,
another Animas Valley teacher is
second with SO per cent. In nearly
every rural school in the county,
teachers and children are working to-
gether to improve their attendance
records and it is expected that the
month of December will show even
better results.

taking is itself continuous and per-

taking is itself continuous and per-
petual and that except as the nature
Of the undertaking is different, the
case is not different from that of
other local Improvements to be paid
for by assessments in proportion to
the benefits received.
The Court further held that the
provisions of Sec 3457. r. s. 1908 re-
quiring the District Board to certify
to the County Commissioners "Such
additional amount as may be neces-
sary to meet any deficiency in the
payment of expenses heretofore in
Cured" referred to deficiency in
the estimate of expenses. That is to
say, in effect, where by reason of
some unforeseen contingency an tx
penditure not anticipated, and for
which no provision had been made,
additional money was required.
In the other case, also decided by
Judge Searcy, on demurrer to the
complaint, the actioa was brought by
The Interstate Trust Company, to
restrain the County Treasurer as ex-
officio Treasurer of the Irrigation
District, from accepting the payment
of County taxes, unless the District
assessments were at the same time
paid. The Court sustained the de-
murrer to the complaint, holding that
the Irrigation District assessments
are no part of the public revenue for
the support of the government, and
that there is no necessary connection
between the collection of general
taxes and the collection of the assess
ments.
That the County Treasurer was
authorized by law to make the col
lections principally to enable one of.
ficer to do the whole collection, for
convenience and In the interests of
economy, and that it was not the in
ention of the Legislature to prohil
t him from accepting public taxes
merely because the taxpayer refuse,
20 pay local assessment made on
account of individual benefit confer
red upon him.
That, while it might be to the ad-
vantage of the District to compel the
Treasurer to refuse to accept the
County taxes unless the assessments
were also paid, it might be to the
disadvantage of the state, county and
county and school districts to in
separately unite the public revenues
with special assessments for local
and private benefit.
These decisions uphold the theory
for which the residents of the Dis
trict have been contending; that is
to say, that each piece of land is
liable only for its proportionate
share of the bonds and interest and
of the cost Of maintenance and op-
GRAFTON as well, and that it cannot
be charged with more than it's pro-
portionate amount, because some
landowners have failed to pay their
assessments. That where the assess
nent provided by law. has once been
made, the creditor of the district
must look to the fund arising from
that assessment and cannot call foi
repeated or further assessments be
cause of the failure to collect the
first.
