COURT REVERSES
RICHLAND CASE
Higher Court Affirms Decis-
ion of Trial Court Against
-. Columbia District

District land viii be exempt from
general taxation commencing with
taxes levied in 1927, according to
word of the state supreme court
decisions in two irrigation district
cases which were heard jointly on
appeal as companion cases, receiv-
ed Thursday morning by M. NJ.
Moulton. These decisions will ap-
ply to all irrigation districts.
In 1927, the Columbia Irrigation
district defended county fore
closure suit, claiming that district
land, which was acquired by fore.
closure of delinquent assessments,
was exempt from taxation under
the state constitution. The trial
court held against the district, de-
Gliding that the district was not
exempt by virtue of the state con-
stitution. The supreme court de-
cision just received affirms that Of
the trial court, which win result
in taxes being levied on district
land foreclosed prior TO 1927.
After this case was considered
a new law went into effect by vir-
tue of which the land of an irri-
cation district was exempt from
taxation by statute.
Under this law the Richlpnd
district commenced action in
fall of 1927 to restrain the c,
ty commissioners from levying
further taxes against district L
on the grounds that the land
exempt under the new law.
trial court held that the law :
unconstitutional and that
county commissioners could cr -
tinue to tax district land. The
appeal of this case to the supreme
court resulted in the decision of
the Il al court being reversed. The
supreme court held that the new
law passed in the 1927 session Of
the legislature is constitutional
and as a result irrigation district
land acquired by foreclosure after
1927 vii be exempt from taxa
ton.

POLICE MAY SOLVE
 GAR THEFT PUZZLE
(Continued From First Page)

McAvay he and number of other boys of about the same age have gone about the city taking ignition keys out of automobiles and using them to start other cars. He went into details about an escapade he and a companion had some time ago when a policeman chased them and fired at a stolen car in which they were riding, at the foot of South Main street. He was forced to leap from the car, he said, and in so do- irg. hurt his leg. ..
 Sergeant McAvay took him out to have him point out the home of a companion in the escapades con- nected with the theft of the auto mobiles, and he directed course through Griswold and Columbia streets and the western end of Hart street. He pointed out house which the sergeants knew was not the home of boy who would be im- plicated in the theft of automobiles. and as the hour was advancing, it was decided to end the investiga- tion for the night and the sergeant took him to his home. There the sergeant learned that the boy is un- reliable, having a weakness for TO- mancing. He is said to have been in a state reformatory twice.

WTIC To Erect Avon
 Mountain Station

Hartford, Conn, Nov. ! @-The new 50.000-watt broadcasting sta tion which WTIC has been em- powered to erect by the authority of the federal radio commission will be built on top of Mount Avon. where a large tract of land has been pur- chased by the Travellers Insurance company, owner of the station. The location has been approved by the commission.
 The site is approximately 700 feet above sea level and is about II miles from Hartford. The location of the site and the nature of its terrain. 1t is believed, will enable listeners in this vicinity to tune out WTIC and bring in more distant stations.
 Over 90 different tracts of land have been examined by radio ex- perts for WTIC to locate a suita ble place for the station. Tests have been made as to insure the best sur roundings for the transmission Of high power. Actual work on the plant has been started and equip- ment ordered.
