DAVIS COUNTY ASSESSMENT.
Valuation Is Placed High Enough,
the People Think.
Especial Correspondence.)

Pennington. May 1.-The county COM
missioners today made an order fixing the
days on which they will sit as board of
equalization. The first session for that
purpose viii be held on Monday, June ,,
and complaints in regard to the assess
ment for 1893 Will be heard on Tuesday
! Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. June
s TO g. between the hours of 10 a. m. and
D. IN. All complaints must be made on
one of these days or be forever barred
| Claims aggregating $500 were allowed
| and the beard then adjourned for three
weeks.
The county assessor has completed the
assessment of property in Davis county.
and in about one week will turn over the
assessment rolls to the treasurer. The
1893 assessment follows very closely the
1898 list as regards the real estate valua-
tons. In all cases the per cent increase
made by the state board of equalization
has been added to this years assessment,
even though this has in some cases
brought the assessed valuation fully up 10
the actual cash value of the land.
The county recorders fees for April
amounted to $3.50, which breaks the rec
ord for that Office. The extra amount of
work was Occasioned by the filing OF over
100 notices of location of mining claims.
The county clerks fees for April were
SS5.75. and those OF the treasurer $50.

precedent for the season of the year. 1t

Terminal Fee Question In United
States Court.
TO CONTINUE SOME DAYS
COMMERCE COMMISSION DE-
CLARED CHARGE ILLEGAL.
Called It a Discrimination Against
Shippers Entering Chicago-Amic-
able Adjustment of Santa Fe & Pa
cific Troubles-Local Roads viii
Offer Courtesies to o. r. c. Men.

Chicago, May 1.-Arguments were begun
in the United States circuit court today
in the demurrers filed by the western rail-
roads to the charges of the interstate
commerce commission. The question al
issue is the legality of the terminal fee
which is charged by railroads on every
carload of cattle entering the stockyards.
The fee of 81. which is eXacted by the
railroads on every car and paid by IT,
shippers, was originally made against the
railroad companies by the stockyards for
the use of its tracks. This averaged about
- cents per car. and the railroads retail
lated by fixing the s. charge.
The interstate commerce commission
declared that the tax was unreasonable.
and that it was a discrimination against
shippers entering the Chicago stocl1yards.
The arguments Will continue for several
days.

KAYSVILLE Is JUBILANT.
Supreme Court Decision Causes Much
Joy There.
(Special CorrespondenceO

Kaysville, May 1.-The decision of the
state supreme court in the case of Kim
ball VS.. Grantsville City, rendered on Sat
urday, came as a confirmation of the
hopes of the city officials and many Of
the people of kaysyille. who have all
along felt firmly convinced that if a just
decision could be obtained from the court
it would overthrow the decision against
Kaysville City in the case of Ellison VS..
Linford and also the later license case of
kaysville City vS. Z. z. Ellison. which
was decided Ia G December against the
city.
The peculiar position in which the Off
Gals of Kaysville City have been placed
by conflicting decisions of the supreme
court has been set forth in the columns Of
The Herald. and the Grantsvlle decision
which specifically overturns the kaysville
case. has relieved the local situation to
such an extent that it is probable that
there will be no further difficulty in col
lecting licenses and taxes from all parts
of the city. including Layton merchants.
The city officials will in all probability be
compelled now to take steps to collect all
licenses due the city.
There is rejoicing in kaysville over the
new decision. The people have patiently
borne the taunts of those who were for
a time victorious, and now that the scales
have turned, they cannot be blamed for
feeling jubilant.

PASSENGER AGREEMENT.
Some Changes Made In the Original
Draft.

Chicago May 1.-The revised agree
ment of the Western Passenger asso-
citation. which will be taken up at the
adjourned meeting of the western lines
on Wednesday. differs in many mate
rial points from the draft agreement
submitted a last weeks meeting Fea-
lures in the agreement which might
have been construed as indications of
an Illegal combination have been elm
mated. Other changes limit somewhat
the authority of the chairman and pro-
vide that the executive committee must
be appointed by the unanimous vote
OF the lines in the association.
Perhaps the most important clause of
the new agreement that has been elm
mated is that providing that each road
shall deposit to the credit of the chair
man sum Of at least $500 as security
for the payment of fines and penalties
for any breaches of agreement. An
other clause on the same lines which
failed to pass the last meeting empow-
cred the chairman TO call for any rec
ords pertaining to the subject under
investigation. and provided that failure
of the accused to furnish such records
within ten days should be considered as
an admission Of guilt.
The new agreement authorized the
chairman TO file for and in the name of
Individual lines with the Interstate
commerce commission all rates neces-
vary under the law, but this, too, has
oeen excluded.
Wednesdays meeting will take up the
rules governing the association and its
various rules, and after these have
been finally adjusted. the lines will
vote upon the revised agreement as a
whole. AT present the chances for its
ultimate adoption are favorable.
