The county commissioners in special
session this morning accepted the prop
0siti0n of the Santa Fe relative To the
payment of the company's tax due the

The proposition as submitted to the
board by Tax Commissioner Cartilage
provides that the company shall pay one
half the tax based upon the assessment
Of 1892 on the 1898 levy and Will pay the
other half when due ia ane-

count of any litigations which may arise.
The tax levy on Santa e property this

him without specific causes, which,
so far as known, was not alleged in

Today the secretary removed Bay
