Lower House Backs Measure in Good Shape
Boise January 19 Administration forces narrowly passed House Bill No. 13 to protect lands the state holds mortgages on. The bill appropriates 25000 to pay delinquent taxes on state lands endangered by sales and was moved by the house appropriations committee under suspension of the rules. The roll call for passage showed 41 ayes while Senator Charles F. Baker voted no. Robertson was absent. Two bills were introduced with No. 16 proposing tax delinquent assignments for irrigation districts. The session noted clerical errors in No. 13 and shifted to No. 16 to apportion delinquent taxes by the year of levy. Senator Robertson questioned haste and urged either full biennial title protection funding of 150000 or abandonment of the 25000. Baker opposed voting without copies. Auditor’s report showed 1925-1926 general fund balance 416779.43 and total biennial appropriations 5036874.76 with disbursements 4620095.35.
