Suit Brought Against City Over School Tax Exemption
County Attorney Breen filed a district court suit on behalf of school district No. 1 against the city of Butte and City Treasurer Calkins seeking sale of school property for sprinkling purposes asserting the tax is illegally assessed since the property is used for school and educational purposes and exempt from taxation. A temporary restraining order was issued and a show cause hearing is set for January 2. The case involves the legality of the assessment of 118 dollars. Multiple other local matters follow, including notes on burglaries, dam and water rights, assault charges, a special prosecutor, and obituaries and local society items.
