sustained the decision Of the Wayne
Circuit court In the Detroit street rail-
way cases against the common council
Of Detroit, in which it was sought to
compel the city to strike from the as
sessment Of the railway property about
$2.000,000. which had been assessed
against the Detroit Street Railway
company on the value of its franchise.
The lower court refused to grant the
mandamus. The Supreme courts opin-
ion made it plain that franchise val
ues may be taxed; that assessing Of
ncers may take the franchise value into
consideration in determining the value
OF corporate property. The decision
is a triumph for the state tax commits
sion. under whose direction the assess
ment was levied.
