dunn ENDS THE DEAL
WASHINGTON COUNTY OFFICIALS
EXCEED THEIR BOUNDS IN
TAX MATTERS
so NOTIFIED BY THE STATE
Upon Advice of Attorney General,
State Auditor Dunn Issues Firm
Statement Regarding Street
Railway Tax compromise.

Acting under advice of Assistant At
torney General w. ]. Donahower. State
Auditor Dunn has notified the auditor
and commissioners of Washington county
that he is convinced they have exceeded
their authority In agreeing to compromise
the personal property tax of the st. Paul
and Suburban Railway company, by ac-
cepting payment of valuation of $780,
OCO. instead of 100000. This advice is
directly In accordance with an opinion
recently furnished by the state legal de-
partment to- County Attorney Kane and
the commissioners of Ramsey county to
the effect tnat the county government
had no legal right to decrease the tax of
the st. Paul City Railway company after
the amount had been fixed by the state
board of equalization. This opinion.
which was published at length in the
G 10 b at the time it was given out,
applies as directly to the conditions ex-
lsting in Washington county as those in
Ramsey.
The personal property tax against the
street railway company in this county
is now in litigation in the district court
and the brief of the state was filed
Wednesday afternoon. State Auditor
Dunn, in his letter to the authorities OF
Washington county, urges that the com
pany be not permitted to make any set
tlement with that county until the case
in the courts here is decided and the
legal liability OF the company thus deter
mined.
1t will be remembered that the street
railway company refused to pay its tax
in this county for the reason that it
had been increased by the state board of
equalization. and practically the same
conditions obtain in Hennepin and Wash
ington counties. The Ramsey county
commissioners had agreed to a compro-
mise and 1t was that which called forth
the opinion Of the attorney general above
referred to.

$275, the same as placed in the previous

COMPTROLLER MCARDY OPPOSED
TO GROSS EARNINGS TAX FOR

Comptroller McCardy says he is de-
cidedly opposed to the scheme Of per-
mitting street railways to pay a gross
earrings tax in lieu of the taxes now
paid. The paving of streets and other
concessions that st. Paul now receives
for extensions he says, would be obliter-
ated, and a tax paid on earnings, which
in the main would be triiing.
If the gross earnings tax is to be ap-
piled he wants it on the same basis as the
steam roads. BY this method terminals
and rights of way would be paid for the
same as when private property is to be
absorbed.
