JAIL LEVY nan LIFTED
(Coninued from rage ~

Z imagined affecting an America
Community but nothing so shamefu
. has yet occurred as this lawless dc
: mand OF the Klamath development
, company, A large majority of homes,
J Intelligent law abiding citizens wer
induced by the klamath Developmcn
company to invest elbo.0oo.oo o
} public monies belonging to the peo
pie in improving a tract OF valuable
: land lying within the corporate lin,
: Its OF the City OF klamath Falls.
by this proposed action the klam
ath Development company has, 70

avoided payment cf very larg'
amount OF city and county taxes an,
is still avoiding payment
Now by reason OF vcSntious lltiga
tion and obstructive tactics pursue,
through the Courts, over which Meth
or the people nor the County Court
have control. the klamath Develop
ment company suddenly declares {
violation OF it's contract and a seizur,
and conversion 10 its own Golfers o'
$50, 100000 of the peoples propert,
while the whole property and aues.
tfons relating thereto are before the
Courts for adjudication.
klamath County has legal righ,
under its existing contract with the
Klamath Development company. "a
the possession OF Block 10, Hot
Springs Addition. and will maintain
that right until the Courts decree
otherwise.
In view OF all the above plain facts
its moral right cannot be aues,ionc ed
and We suggest the gross impropriety
81 any arneal to morality by the
klamath Development company In
tthis case.
We have taken due note OF the
threat implied in Mr.. Parker's letter.
tina, the Klamath Development com.
pany will nc, scruple 10 force an over
burdened reople to accept their will
aud drop $3.50. .00o. 90 OF their money
by piling up more Infamous litigation
upon this County.
However. as II has already been
rumored that the Klamath Develop
ment company has been furnishing
the money to prosecute the veSatious
suits now pending against the county
TO force u to drop its $15o 900. 90 in.
vestment In the Hot Springs Court
House. the Parker letter might pos
sibly be construed as confirmation. II
such Is the truth. the Who'll. motive
OF the Parker letter Is laid bare--an-
other case OF "high.finance."
The concluding paragraph OF the
Parker letter is scarcely worth no.
tice except to denounce its insincer-
ity and rude attempt TO misiead the
people. Nothing In the letter can be
construed rs a promise on the part
OF the Klamath DEVELOPMENT com.
pany. the Fleishhackers or anyone
else. TO present this property to any.
one for school purposes after the
County has been iliegallyy depriv.
ed OF Il.
The power does not rest with the
Flejshhackers to divert their grant
heretofore made TO the County for
Court House purposes to q grant for
school purposes.
The insinuation In this balance Is
so obscure and misleading that Il Is
hardly probable that any thinking
person will be misled by Il. The peo.
pie OF the whole county would have
something 10 say about having their
property used In the manner hinted
at, even In the offer were genuine
and sincere.
The present County Court accepts
full responsibility and takes up the
challenge OF the Klamath Develop
ment company. IL was elected by two
thirds OF the people Of the County 20
complete the Hot Springs Court
house. II will keep It's faith with
the people TO the end This Can't In
