JUDGE SiMOkTON GRANTS iNJUNC-
TONS VS.. CORPOR.TiON
COMMISSION.

Railroads Ordered to Pay on 1898 Asssss-
Subpoenas were issued by Circuit
Clerk Riddick Tuesday and placed IN
the hands of Marshal Dockery, who
served them on Franklin Mcneil. s.
L. Rogers, E C. Bsddingield (mem-
bers of the corporation), Clerk b. C.
Brown and State Treasurer Worth
and State Auditor Aver. which en-
joins these officials from certifying
and using the new assessment of the
property of the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern Railway and orders that
the collection of taxes on these rail-
roads shall be on the assessment
made in 1898. The defendants in
this action are cited to appear be-
fore Judge Simonton at Asheville
Sept. 18th and show cause why the
Injunction shall not be made perma-
nent.
This Injunction was granted by
Judge Simonton at Flat Rock July
18th, and was received here Tuesday.
Judge Simonton granted the in
functions on complaint filed by At
torneys R. o. Burton and Geo. Roun-
tree for the Atlantic Coast Line;
Charles Price for the Southern Rail
way and John D. Shaw and Leigh R.
Watts for the Seaboard Air Line.
All of these three complaints sci
forth the same two statement.
namely:
First, That railroad property Is as
sessed by the Corporation Commls
sion at it's real or more than its rea
value, while other property in tn
State is assessed at only sixty pc
cent of its actual value and henc,
the new assessment an rallrod prop
erty is an unjust and unfair discrimi
nation.
Second, That the act of the las
Legislature creating the commission
did not give the commission powe
to assess property.
! On the above complaints Judg
Simonton issued the three injunc
tons. Each of these injunctions &C
complish three things, namely:
/ l. The Commission is forbidden I
certify the new assessment to tn
State Auditor and the State Trea,
, urer.
2. The Treasurer and Auditor al
prohibited from collecting taxes O
the new assessment.
3. The three above railroads mu
pay on the 1898 assessment.
