Charles Stout, representing Al
Reeb, appeared before the Board
stating that some years ago Mr..
Reeb sold to Charles Reed on con-
tract of Sale Lot 5. block 3, North
western Addition TO Glenns Ferry.
That during the several years that
Mr.. Reed occupied the property, per-
sonal property belonging to Mr..
Reed was assessed and the tax for
the same was made a lien against the
real property.
Mr.. Stout requested that the per-
sonal property tax be cancelled on
the ground that no title TO the real
property had ever passed between
parties and therefore the property
could not be held for the personal
tax OF Mr.. Reeds.
The Board took the matter under
advisement pending an investigation
of the facts in connection herewith.
Dean Paul Roberts appeared be-
fore the Board asking for the ex-
emption from assessment of the Epis-
copal Parish House at Glenns Ferry
for the year 1925 and requesting
that the assessment placed against
the same for 1924 be cancelled on
the ground that the same was church
property and was being so used at
This time. That during a short per-
iod only during 1924 there has been
defraction of the law, but that it
occurred without the knowledge of
the church and as soon as attention
was called thereto steps were imme-
diately taken to correct.
Parties who had contested for the
assessment of this property in year
1924 were, by order of the Board
notified that this matter would come
up for hearing on this date and only
one correspondence received request
ing that the Commissioners use their
own good judgment in the matter.
Therefore it is the order of the
Board that Lots IS, 10, and 20,
block 7, North Addition to Glenns
Ferry be exempted from assessment
for 1925 and that delinquency certi-
fcate No. 64S0 which covers the as
sessment of this property for the
year 1924 be and the same hereby is
ordered cancelled.
MIR. Witcher and several other
residents from Indian Cove appeared
before the Board requesting the
County to donate certain monthly
sum to aid in the maintenance of a
public ferry boat at Indian Cove.
The Commissioners, however, were
not inclined to meet this request at
this time but advised that these par
ties get certain definite data which
could be presented later.
Lee Pancoast, as one of the sure
ties of B. F. McCowin's bond TO OPP
crate a public ferry boat, requested
to be relieved of this obligation at
this time.
Mr.. McCowin is at this time Sc
curing new bondsmen, one of which |
had already qualified and the other
who would do so as soon as conven-
ience would allow.
Therefore it was the order of the
Board that the approval Of the bond |
be made by the clerk of this Board
when the same was filed and that
upon the filing and approval as here
tofore provided the bond to become
effective, and Mr. Pan
coast relieved therefrom.
H. l.. Braden, representing the
Home Commercial Club,
appeared before the Board advising
hat booklet was now being pre-
pared for distribution at the official
dedication of the commencement of
of the American Falls
Dam in which it was the desire that
every county along the Snake River
Valley utilize advertising space, 1t
being the opinion that thousands of
people would be present from all
parts of the'United States.
He advised that he had not been
lble to have a meeting of the Club
by which he could get the official
sanction of that body but that he
lad talked to the individual business
men who were heartily in favor of
such a proposition.
He therefore requested that the
Board donate 10000 for this pur-
pose stating that one page space in
,aid book would cost this amount for
purposes and in addition
hat each county subscriber would
yet a certain number of these books
or distribution. That the CONNER
,ial Club had no balance In their
treasury at the present time and
therefore the necessity of this re-
quest.
