: Dies MONIES, April 1.-The insurance
companies occupy a peculiar position as
regards the attempt which is now being
made to assess them by the county.
They have already paid their state tax
to the state treasurer, and should they
now be compelled to pay a county tax
they would be paying a double tax this
year, unless they could be reimbursed
for the money paid the state. The
state could not be compelled to return
it and the only course left open to them
to pursue would be to go before the
legislature at the next session and pc
tition for reimbursement. The hearing.

ney Cheshire to the writs Of injunction
which We're granted has been set for
