COMPANY Is MODEST.
Lehigh Valley Company Seek Tax
Exoneration in Three Counties.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad company
seeks to be eXonerated from the pay
ment of taxes upon their new shops at
Sayre, Pa. Two other counties are
placed in the same position as Brad
ford in this matter. The company
has asked the county commissioners
of Bradford and the borough council
of Sayre to eNonerate the taxes on
$lS5,245 worth of property in that viii
lage. This includes a part of the old
shops, the new shops and fixtures and a
snail piece of land, and the claim is
that the property is a part of the
equipment of the road necessary to its
operation and not real estate subject
to local taxation. The amount on
which eXoneration is not asked is t4s,-
80.
The loss to Sayre would be 17ia mills
on SlS5,245, and to the county four and
half mills on the same amount for
county and court house purposes. The
question is being given most careful
consideration by the county commits
sioners and the Sayre council and it is
probable that the matter will be de-
cided By the court according to !ts mer-
its under the law.
