show that the lucky Lieutenant had
"rung in a cold deck" on his comrades.

THE ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY IN
WAREHOUSES.
Opinion Of City Attorney Hasard en- the Ques'
tieu.
Los ANGELES, April %, 1881.

Los ANGELES, April 20, 1881.
r. Biiderroin, City Assessor:
DEAR SIR:-In reply to your re-
quest for q written opinion as to
your duty and authority in assess.
ing property in warehouses, l
would say that there can be no
doubt that it is your duty and you
have the authority to assess all such
property regardless of the question
rs to whether It is in a warehouse
or not; that cannot in any manner
affect it's liability to taxation.
Property, however, in trdnsitu Is
not liable to taxation, and all prop
erty passing through the city to it's
destination beyond the city is in
trGnsitu. 1t may be temporarily de-
tanned in the city by reason of the
charge OF the same is unable, by
reason of an excessive amount of
freight on hand, or of accident, to
forward the same forthwith and is
thereby compelled to store the
same temporarily until the same
can be forwarded in due course of
business; in all such cases the
property in contemplation of law
is In trdnsitu. But all property
stored In warehouses without any
destination, awaiting probably the
fluctuation of the market, prob
ably seeking market, IL not in
transitu and is liable, likeany other
property, to pay taxes.
The policy of exempting property
in transitu from local taxation was
not that the property might escape
taxation, but that commerce might
be fostered by protecting moving
property from double and treble
taxation, which would epsue should
every State and municipality
through which it passed levy con-
tribution thereon.
Respectfully yours,
H. Il. HAZARD,
City Attorney.
