Butte, Mont, June !, l949.
County Commissioner of Silver
Bow County, Butte, Mont.
Gentlemen: read with great
interest in the Montana Standard
of May rs an a%rtiols relative to a
meeting of a local taxpayers COM
mittee with the Board of County
Commissioners, at which time the
matter of tax delinquency as ex-
listing in Silver Bow County, was
discussed.
The Standard relates the fact
that ]. ]. Burke, President OF the
Metals Bank. was spokesman for
this committee and that he or some
other member Of this committee
made the statement that it might
be necessary for the residents OF
Silver Bow county to cease paying
any more taxes, until such time as
our county officials cleared up our
delinquent tax mess.
If Mr.. Burke made this state
ment he is evidently overlooking
the fact that the Butte Water Co.
(owned and controlled by the
Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany) is the greatest offender in
regards to delinquent taxes that
we have in Silver Bow county.
The Butte Water Company is
delinquent in taxes i'll an amount cN-
cceding three million dollars.
These delinquent taxes are due
| School District No. !. and the Git.
OF Butte and have been accrulne
since the year 1908, without any
effort being made by any county
! official to collect.
Butte Water Co. Al Years in Arrears
In the year 1908 the supreme
court Of the state, affirmed on ap-
peal. that water rights, r~egardles'
oi their location were taxable by
the place or district where the watcl
was consumed, as this was the poin
where these water rights were made
valuable.
In the district known as Schoo
District No. /. all the water distrib
uted by the Butte Water Compan,
is used. 50 School District No. !. i
entitled 10 a tax on the full taxable
value Of the Butte Water Company
water rights. The residents OF tn
City OF Butte consume 7OH oi tn
water distributed by the Butte wa
ter Company therefore are cntitle
to a 1919 tax on the taxable valu
OF these water rights.
In 1882, the Butte Water Com
PAM in its report to the State Kan
doad and Public Service Commits
sion, setting forth its valuation
listed rights and licenses as havin
a value of 81, coo. The license
they had at the time, had but littl
value. we can therefore safely sa
that the Butte Water Company lie
urcd their water rights as having
value OF well over one million do
lars.
