BAPTIST MEMBER SETTLES

the following:

The Baptist brother offered to
prove his contention by reference to
, 1922-02-15

They (the bond purchasers) do not
figure upon a percentage of loss from
seepage or other shrinkage, but that
the lands, remaining will be reassses-
sed for the deficiencies. of the lands
which upon sale prove insufficient
for the amount.
1t might be stated that the district
or the remaining land owners are
thus charged for the debt of others.
But this. l take it, runs through the
entire law of public corporations.
The bond holders look to the value
of the land to be assessed, and each
tract in a real sense is a g%uarantor
for the entire indebtedness.

There would be 500. 900 against the

Mr.. King. That land would be sold
to pay the taxes.
Mr.. Little. Suppose your land was
washed away and there wasn't any
such land; who would pay it then?
Mr.. Sinnott. Then it would come
out of the district.
Mr.. Little. Certainly 1t would come
out of the rest Of the people.
Mr.. Raker. May ] make this sug-
gestion in response to Judge Kings
Illustration and Mr.. Sinnott's, which
to my mind is very applicable, that
each mans property be assessed for
800; AS property is washed away
and Their is no security; whatever
there is left-the river bed-the dis
trict would be subrogated for this
mans right. They could sell 1t at
public auction, and ifthey only got a
dollar for tor nothiDg-they would
have paid s99, 900 and there would
be 500 left to be paid. Everybody
in the district is responsible, and o
would assess the next year 800 more
to nav this debt. Just like you do In
every county and state where there
Is ~delinouency and there is not enough
money to pay the debt. II there is
$1,000 left. you have to assess the pro-
perty at a higher rate next year to

Difficulty In Selling Farms
You will observe that the commits.

borrow money on notes or bonds
which shall constitute a lien on such
district for the repayment of such
notes and bonds and interest.
1t is the experience of other dis
tricts that II is never very long until
money has to be borrowed for one
thing or another and then. of course,
the district has several of these liens
filed against 1t.
When the man who wants to buy
your farm examines your title he dis
covers that your farms Is liable with
other farms for any and all liens
against the district. Usually he pre-
fers not to buy as is proved by testi-
mony of those who attempted to buy
such farms.
II you contemplate selling your
farm you will find It much more diff
cult to do when you are in an irriga-
ton district than when you are not.

should consult those OF this project
who have lived in irrigation districts.

appointed by the district Judge to

PARK PROJECT FOR
ST. SIMON TALKED

City Commissioner M. B. McEin-
non and County Commissioner E. l..
Stephens, together with J. w. Tuck
err, of st. Simon, had an informal talk
yesterday relative to st. Simon park
projects and there was only one site
that is sure to be selected for one of
those and this will be at the old
Hilton & Dodge mill site. This is al
most a settled fact. This does not
mean that other parks, or Fairgrounds
will not be located on st. Simon, but
it means that this is one of the places
which has been definitely selected.
Since the st. Simon bridge project
first came before the public Commits
sioner McKinnon has held out for
ample Fairgrounds for Brunswick
children and he has been supported
in his stand by all citizens. 1t seems
certain that the parks will be located
at places on the island which will be
convenient to the children there as
well as those of the city.
