A telegram was received late yesterday (Dec. 16) afternoon by Leslie c. Hardy, County Attor- ney, stating that the Supreme Court of the state had sustained the taxes levied by the Board of Supervisors upon the Baca Float Grant, for the years 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916, says the Oasis.
 Litigation involving the valid ity of these taxes has been pend ing for approximately two years. The case was tried in the Su- perior Court of this county be- fore Judge -Pattee, the county being represented by Mir. Hardy, and the owners of the Float be- ing represented by Messrs Kin gan & Campbell, Tucson attor- neys. Judge Pattee held that the county could in no event, tax the lands in question for the government survey thereof was not filed until after the taxes were levied for those years. Judge Pattee however held the taxes valid for the years 1915 and 1916. Both the county and the owners appealed to the Su- preme Court of the State from the decision of Judge Pattee.
 The result of the decision ot the Supreme Court is that the county will collect the taxes, in. cluding interest and penalties which reaches approximately the sum of $9O, 100000.
 County Attorney Leslie C. Hardy is to be congratulated up on the success of his efforts ir this matter. The Supreme Court has sustained his position ir every particular.
