MORE IN JUSTIFICATION.

that the county auditor should refuse
to amend the rolls
MORE IN JUSTIFICATION.
After quoting the various sections Of
the law pertinent TO the subject under
consideration, the county attorneys
opinion reads further:
We think it very clear from a read
ing and comparison of these provisions
that the legislature intended the as
sessment of this property, the most of
it being of a class that extends through
a large section of country and through
a number of counties, and the apDOr-
tiOnment of this assessment among The
counties should be made by the state
board of equalization; but that after
the apportionnlent to q county has
been made the division of this appOr-
tionnent among the local taxing dis
tricts within the county shall be made
by the board of county commissioners.
This construction is in accordance with
the language of other parts of the
revenue act, giving the state board of
equalization authority to equaliZe as
SeSsmentS as between the counties and
the county board among individuals
and sections within the county. 1t is
also strictly in line with the cOnStitu-
tional provision declaring that it shall
be the duty Of the state board Of
equalization to adjust and equalize the
valuation of real and personal prop
erty among the several counties of the
state, and the duty of the county board
shall be to adjust and eQualize the
valuation of real and personal prop
erty within their respective counties
1t follows that the action of the state
board in attempting to apportion the
assessment Of the Rapid Transit COM
pany among the various school dis
trictS was unauthorized and should be
disregarded, and that the action of
your board in making the apportion-
ment, at present a part of the assess
ment roll, was within your lawful pow
ers."
OTHER SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
! Some of the county officials inter
eSted in this matter assert that if the
state board or it's secretary committed
an error in apportioning the Rapid
Transit company's rolling stock and
franchise assessment, then the same
error was made with reference to the
| Rio Grande Western, Oregon Short
Line, Utah Central, Salt Lake & Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City Railroad
companies. Another fact that adds
| interest to the incident is that none of
the above named companies has COM
planned, except the Oregon Short Line,
which, by it's attorney. P. l.. Williams,
declared some time ago that the error
was the county boards. The county
board insisted that it had acted ac-
cording to law and refused to recede
from it's position or order a correction
of the assessment rolls. The county
attorneys opinion confirms the legal
ity Of the boards action. However
| the Short Line paid it's alleged excess
of tax, $211.4S, under protest, on Fri
daY.
Certain county officials are not YET
clear upon the point as to whether OF
not the action of Secretary Thomas
was authorized by the state board OF
whether it was on his own volition.

board, their alleged apportionment be-

On the first point at issue the county
attorney concludes: I'VE are of the

be sure of the integrity of tire firm

Diamonds.

Modesty forbids us to say that we can
not tell lie, however much we would
like to say so. Our belief is that bust
ness integrity wins the confidence of
the people, and this wins patronage.
A diamond does not wear out or
get rusty or in any way become dam
aged.
Because OF this it is good security
for an investment, and one will draw
interest in the homage paid by those
who watch the sparkle of the gem, and
envy its possessor.
This holiday season promises a
good business; because of this we
have secured some choice gems for
our patrons; we buy all diamonds I'M

People Who Throw Trash There VIII
BE Punished

The new broom Is going to sweep clean
Mayor Neldrim has determined TO put a
literal Interpretation on this old saw. He
means to see to it that the new official
broom shall sweep clean so far as the
streets, lanes and squares of the city are
concerned as well as in other directions.
In giving his attention to various de-
tails Of the citys work the mayor has
been especially struck by the way the
streets, lanes and squares as well are
Uttered by trash of every description, and
how the work of the scavenger department
is made ineffective by careless of citizens
Of all classes. He considered the subject
of sufficient Importance to have an earn
est discussion of 1t with the commissioner
of public works and the committee on
streets and lanes, as the result of which
the mayor announced that effective meas
ures would be taken to put stop to the
present indiscrlminate littering of the
streets.
You can just state most emphaticaily,"
said Mayor Meldrim to a Morning News
reporter, that Savannah is going to be
kept clean, outwardly as well as in its
departmental affairs, If there is any law
