Supreme Court Rules Mineral Reservation Assessments Legal
June 7. Associate Justice Hollo way writes that Ravalli county’s $5 per acre mineral reservation assessment was legal. The Anaconda Copper Mining Co held land with mineral rights reserved to it and protested the double assessment. The court says the plaintiff could have had its name on the assessment roll for each grantee, but no such request appeared. The only person who can complain is one bearing more than his share of taxation. The suit by Fred Glen against Birch & Sons Construction Co. for breach of contract in district improvement bonds upheld the lower court’s ruling in favor of the defendant.
