THE TAX COMMISSIONERS WIN.
JUSTICE PRYOR sUsTAINs THEIR ASSESSMENT OF
THE MANHATTAN RAILWAY COM

lhE MAMMALIAN AllsNAf ScM-
PANY's PROPERTY.
BY the decision Of Justice Pryor in the matter OF
the Manhattan Railway Company against the Tax
Commissioners In proceedings brought under chap
ter 2s9 OF the laws of 1880 TO review assessment
against the personal property Of the Manhattan
Railway Company. for the purpose Of taxation for
the year 1896. argued March 10. 1895, by James NJ.
Ward representing the Counsel to the Corporation.
and Julien T. Davies, representing the Manhattan
Railway Company, the Tax Commissioners have
won another decisive victory over this corporation.
Justice Pryor is clear and caustlc In his conclu-
sions. In which he is reported saying: Guided
TO determination by the direction OF the highest
court. I am constrained TO the conclusion that the
decision OF the Commissioners Is sustained by ade-
quate evidence II without neglect Of other mpor-
tant and urgent iitgat.ons might find opportunity
for elaborate review and criticism OF this evil
dence, the work would be superfluous. Since the
Commissioners themselves have vindicated their de-
cision by clear correct and complete statements OF
the proof upon which they proceeded From that
statement, also. II Is equally apparent that upon
the adjudicatons the assessment Is vltiated by no
legal error With due attention to the able argu-
ment OF the learned counsel for the reator am OF
opinion nevertheless that the assessment OF the
Commissioners Is invunerable. Writ dismissed and
determination affirmed"
President Barker. Of the Tax Department being
asked for expression In regard TO this decision.
laughngly replied: "Oh! We Tax Commissioners are
we'll pleased with the decision OF the court In the
matter II would not be proper officially orotherwlse.
for to express an opinion on the subject other
than one OF the greatest satisfaction. Inasmuch as
Mr. Gould claims that action in relation to the
Gould estate and all corporations with which he Is
connected is personal will not indulge In throw

IN paper recently read by Mr.
A. B. Choate, of Minneapolis, before
the Minnesota Surveyors and En-
,gineers society, he estimated the an
nual cost of hauling farm products to
the railroad stations in the United
States at 1916, Ala, $3.50, of which Min
nesota's share is S22,OOO,00O. He be-
lieves that this cost could be reduced
one-half by the improvement of the
roads. If one-half the amount which
he estimates as Minnesota'S share of
hauling her farm products to market,
was spent in improving the roads for
two or three seasons, there would be
a vast difference noted, while the saw
ing of eleven millions to the farmers
of the state would be very notice

able lump poured into their pockets.
But besides the saving that would be
effected in the matter of hauling the
farm produce to market there would
be considerable saving in other di-
rections and among other classes.
Aside from this, good roads would
prevent the farmer from being shut
in at certain seasons of the year as he
now is, which would be most import
ant item, and doubtless as valuable
as any other. 1t would tend to make
country life more sociable, a thing to
be greatly desired.

SUED FOR $4,000.
Joseph SOrg Wants Big Damages
From Geo. w. Allyn.

From Geo. w. Allyn.
Papers were served Monday in civil
action brought by Joseph Sorg against
Geo. W. Allyn to recover $4,000 dam
ages for alleged libel and SANDER. The
suit grows out OF the recent attempted
prosecution of Sorg, in which Allyn
took leading part, and statements
and publications alleged to have been
made by Allyn at the time and prior
thereto The complaint makes three
counts.
Before Sorg's arrest, a poster or Cir
cular was printed at Madison Lake
and circulated, saying that Sorg was
wanted for forgery and jail breaking
and other crimes" 1t is claimed that
Allyn furnished the copy for this, and
5000 is demanded for this allie ged
label.
An alleged interview with Allyn
concerning Sorg was published in the
ReUieoo of April 28th, wherein Allyn is
represented as saying that Sorg had
done counterfeiting, and making
other allegations, all of which are
alleged to be libelous, and on account
of which Sorg asks $4,000.
The third count consists of
alleged statements to other parties
made by Allyn concerning Sorg, and
quoted as follows: "He belongs to as
desperate bevy of. criminals as ever
worked in the state of Minnesota.
He is counterfeiter and has been
flooding the southern Minnesota slope
with spurious coin for years. J. have
in conjunction with United States
authorities captured from Sorg and
others kit of counterfeiting tools,
dies, moulds, etc. He belongs to one
of the most daring gangs of criminals
that ever infested the state" For
this alleged SANDER, Sorg wants
$4,000, making $4,000 in ALL
Hughes, Rice & Hughes are Sorg's
attorneys.
An important witness who might
have testified in the case, Cynthia
Richie, is now dead, Sorg's attorney,
however, claim that she would have
been an important witness for them.
