Tho Judgment Of tho Supreme Court deolar-

tics, towns, etc., on any oxcoss Of valuation over

OF saoh county, town, etc., and bo applied to
the payment Of such railroad-a!d debt. To aup-
ply deficiency thus created In tho royonus Of
tue Slate, tho law Of 1860 required tho Auditor
to levy such additional ratio upon the aggregate
valuation Of tho whole State as would produce
tho required royenuo. Tho Legislature in 1878

town and city lots uaod by tho Company as right
Of way wore flrst assessed by tho State Doard Of
Equalization as "railroaa track, !" and afterwards
by tho local Aaaoaaors as. town and city lots.
Tho Court has ruled that tito property could not
DO aasesBcd twice, and that, aB 1t was shown to
DO right Of way 1t must, therefore, DO assessed
AZ "rallroad traok." While affordnr relief to
this particular appellant, the decision wns not
broad enough to cover 4 point raiaod by the
Chicago, Burlington d Quincy Railroad Com
pany In thor appeal case. They claim that
tho right Of vay or ''railroad track"
includes all improvements and adiuncta
thereto, anch as tho Oompanya machine md
car nhopa ut Aurora, covering about forty acres
OF ground. Other companies do not agreo wi!h
them in this position, aud IT can hardly be
conatderod tonablo. Although not passing upon
this question, tho Inference to bo derived from
tho opinion isn tho. only improvements located
directly upon thb right Of way mny Be called
''fallroad traok.". Tho other Important foaturo
Of tho decision is that 1t en1olna tho collection
Of 80 much Of tho tax ordorod by tho State
