CONTROVERSY, SAYS MR.
FORT, HAD BETTER CLOSE

Editor Star: regret to have to an
swer Mr.. Rogers last letter, but L see
to Mr.. Rogers last letter, but l see
the hand of Esau and the voice of
Jacob in it. That there is collision
have no doubt. They try to justify
their actions by quoting certain law.
1t is perfectly obvious to all who will
read it, that it has no bearing or con-
nection with the issue involved, but
only applies to the assessor making
up the tax roll, presenting 1T to the
board and in the event he fails to do
it, the clerk of the court is required
to do it, and the board is to extend the
time for equalization, but this condi-
ton has not obtained. The assessor
had the roll made on time and pre-
sented it to the board. Instead of the
board equalizing the roll, as the law
directs, it sent out these blanks for
the purpose of assessing more taxes.
Here is the issue which | raised: that
they had no legal right to do it and
that the additions to the original roll
were illegal. / again reaffirm this
statement and that | or any other
taxpayer was wholly within his rights
to criticise the action of the board.
Now because | dared do it | am brand
ed an obstructionist. I've just this to
say, it's a case of the servant getting
bigger than the master. | think l am
about as well known as Mr.. Rogers
and am willing to rest my case with
the people. l venture the assertion
similar case. Now, let us look at some
Of the results. Many people have told
me they thought you had a legal right
20 send the tax blanks out and demand
them to fill in tax returns under oath,
and in doing so they included all the
personal property acquired in any
way since the first of January. To
illustrate, the first of January | own
ed fourteen head of cattle. Now owR
nineteen head. A plain case that you
are placed in the attitude of taking
tax money on property not subject
for taxes this year. And more, by
your actions you subject the people to
making a public exhibition of their
holdings by compelling them to make
cath before officers all over the coun-
ty. Many have told me that it is a
plain case that you have put one over
on them. You say the assessor and
school board are cooperating with
you. You've been about six weeks in
this cooperation work and yet you
said you were not assessing taxes.
The people know what you are doing.
Now stop your camoufage, trying to
cloud the issue; be honest with US,
that you have not one single iota of
legal right for your action. If l am
not mistaken you took an oath be-

WHAT MOTOR CLUB
MEMBERS SHOULD DO

All members of the Ocala Motor
Club are requested to report to the
secretary all dangerous curves or rail-
load crossings within Marion county
which are not properly sign-posted at
this time, about which they have per-
sonal knowledge. 1t is also desired
by the club that suggestions be made
as to best points along our highways
twithin this county, at which to
place signs giving general informa-
ton concerning distances to other
points.
The club is also interested in having
it's members report railroad crossings
which are in bad order.
Trees (either fallen or standing),
which obstruct or partly obstruct our
highways is another subject of inter
est to the Motor Club and should be
reported; likewise, distractions in our
streets, or absence of lights at night,
etc
While any citizen in our county is
at liberty to communicate with the
Ocala Motor Club on such subjects as
the above, it is especially desired that
all members keep a been lookout for
matters of this kind, it being part OF
the work of the Motor Club to secure
proper sign-posting and to endeavol
TO have road conditions generally i'm
proved, when possible to do so. 1t Is
therefore the duty of club members
/ to cooperate in every way possible.
