Those Delinquent Railroad Taxes.
SAN Francisco, May 23th.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered decision in the
cases of the county of San Mateo vs.. State
Treasurer Oullahan and John Rooney vs.
Attorney-General Marshall, involving the
question of turning over to the State the
delinquent railroad taxes now in the nos
session of the Attoney-General. The de-
cision recites that the two cases had been
considered together, and the amount in
volved is SS03,5S2 SO. Of this, $I40,6 ,6S5 %
was received by the Attorney General from
the defendants in actions by certain conn
ties against certain railroad corporations
for the recovery of delinquent taxes for the
fiscal years 1901, 1872. 1929 The
remaining S662,S 1897 70 was received from
the defendants in certain actions instituted
by the State against said corporations for
delinquent taxes for the fiscal years 1854 4
and 1SS4-5. The decision after re-
viewing the history of the railroad
tax litigation, recites We have
therefore the case of the Attornev-Ci General
who has received certain MONEYS under
judgments and orders recovered bv him in
actions he was prosecuting. 1t legally fol-
lows, we think, that the moneys SO recov-
cred Is the property of those whom he rep
resented IN recovering it. Let the wrfts
issue as prayed for, in so far as concerns
the money received by the Attornev-Gen-
erai under an order made in the cases nros-
ecuted for delinquent taxes for the tiscaI
years 1884 and 1SS4-5. and in so far as
concerns the moneys by him received for
the State, under judgments rendered in
actions prosecuted for delinQent taxes for
fiscal years 1891, 1882 and 1928"
