Governor Pingree is Now

ADVISES THE LEGISLATURE
To Amend the Atkinson Bill to
Meet the Supreme Court
Objections.

Gov. Pingree sent a message to
the legislature Thursday declaring
it the duty of that body to replace
the unconstitutional Atkinson law
at once with new law for the tax
alton of corporation property. The
supreme court, he said, had per-
formed its obligation to the people
by rendering its decision on the At.
kinson law before the final adjourn,
ment of the legislature, in order
that the representatives of the peo.
pie might keep faith with the ex.
pressed wish of their constituents
by promptly remedying the defects
Of the Atkinson law. The governor
recommends:
First-The enactment of law for
state board Of assessors and foI
the levy and assessment of taxes
upon property of railroads, tele-
graph, telephone and express com
panies at its true cash valre in locaI
assessment districts, at the same
rates at which other property il
teose districts is taxed, and that the
tax so levied be paid into the state
treasury and be applied in paying
the interest upon the primary school
university and educational funds.
Second-The enactment of a law
creating state assessing board
similar to those in Ohio and Indiana,
the duty of which shall be to hear
complaints as to assessments, to
cqualizc assessments by either rails.
ing or lowering them, to correct
assessments where local assessing
officers have not properly performed
their duty, and making the decision
Of such a state board final,
Third Enact IA law so that road,
like the Micl igln Central, operat
ing by special charters, shall come
under the general tax law and be
subject to uniform rate Of fare.

tax of one-half of one per cent. on
the assessed valuation of property
in the village, for general purposes,
and one-half per cent for highway
purposes. This action was found
necessary, as the village has had a
hard struggle since the fire three
years ago, aud it is desired to take
up the outstanding orders, and
thus place the village on a good
footing. There has been but one
village tax raised before, which is
indeed good record.
