TOCARRY CASE

Irrigation Districts Plan to
Make Test on New Tax
Laws .... "=

Laws affecting irrigation districts
are conflicting and several inter-
pretations have been given con-
corning the newest of them. A
former law provided that when an
irrigation district sold a parcel of
land for it's charges all other liens
were cancelled. The new laws pro-
vide that other taxing units having
claims against the property must
receive their prorata share of the
proceeds from the sale. -.-as

property confusing and to get an

TOTAL -------. SAG Is
Features which contributed large
1y to the success of the recent
Christmas Seal Sale are the wide
spread publicity, the increasing in
terest Of the general public in tu-
berculosis prevention and the un-
firing efforts of the County Tuber-
culosis League.
While many factors enter into the
successful sale Of seals it seems ap-
parent that in the one which clos
ed Christmas Eve, the general pub
lie showed a keener interest than
usual. The educational campaign
being conducted by the Association
in cooperation with the county
leagues, nurses and health officers
is beginning to bear fruit in the
shape Of increased returns to in
sure the promotion of the work. If
all those who have not yet replied
to their letters containing seals
will make returns of money, the
program for 1886 can be energetical-
1y pushed.
The Benton County Tuberculosis
League wished to express. its ap-
probation for the fine @pvblicity
given the sale by the press and for
the cooperation Of the schools, the
volunteers throughout the county
who worked 50 tirelessly and the
public whose money makes the pro-
gram possible.

Contrary to a report in a local
