the litigation on between the local railroad
companies having taxable franchises and the
State Board OF Assessors, acting under the Ford
Franchise law. AT Of the most recent hear

people mace the point that the Ford law was
unconstitutional because il provided that the
franchises OF railroads IN this city be assessed
by the State board. When Mr.. Bell learned OF

DIXIE FILES AMENDED APPEAL
HE TAKES THE ACTION TO BRING UP
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF GUDENS
REMOVAL.

Counsel for Norman S. Dixie yesterday filed
amended appeal from the order Of Justice
Gaynor, IN which the latter ordered Mr.. Dixie
10 turn TO Charles Guden the books and
papers Of the SheriHs office OF Kings County
under penalty Of being locked UP in the Ray
mond Street jail. According to the original
papers an appeal was taken only from that
part Of the order which directed that Mr.. Dixie
should be locked UP IL he did not turn over the
books and papers. The best legal opinions were
that this appeal would not bring before the APP
pellate Division the fundamental question as TO
whether the removal of Charles Guden was
constitutional or not. The amended papers ap-
peal from the entire order of Justice Gaynor.
