WIFE TAINTED FIGHT ended
No Change Made In Ap-
portlonm en at.

Columbus. o., May Ex-senator G.
G. Connell. master commissioner in
the case of the state ex rel. Conrad C.
Fernsell, auditor of Tuscarawas coun-
ty, ,s. Madison Aldrich, auditor of
Belmont county, ct al, filed his re-
port with the supreme court today.
The case involves the apportionment
of the taxable valuation of the rolling
stock of the Pennsylvania lines in the
counties of Belmont, Carroll, Colum-
biana. Cuyaboga, Jefferson, Mahon-
ing, Portage, Stark, Summit, ami Tus
carawas.
When q railroad Is divided into
different branches the valuation of
the rolling stock may be apportionei
among the counties upon the basis of
the percentage used on each branch.
The board of appraisers and assessors,
consisting of the auditors of the coun-
ties interested, appraised the rolling
stock at $1,000 for each mile of rail-
road, but the secretary of the board
apportioned it among the counties
uron the basis of the percentage used
in each. The auditor of Tuscarawas
county brought suit in mandamus to
compel a reapportionment upon a
mileage basis.
The master commissioner finds that
the board of county auditors did ap-
praise the rolling stock upon the basis
of $1,000 a mile, and that the board
then apportioned the valuation upon
the basis of the percentage of rolling
stock used on each branch. The pro-
portion due each county, rs fixed by
the board upon the latter basis, he
finds technically correct. No recon-
mendation as to the proper method of
apportionment is made in the report.
This decision Is favorable 10 Stark
county. The Tuscarawas branch of
the G. and P. runs through Tuscara-
was and Carroll counties, ami the all
ditors of those two counties insisted
upon having full share of the value
of all rolling stock apportioned to
them. This had not been done last
year and suit was brought to compel
such an apportionment The decision
lets the old arrangement stand, and
the contending counties will get this
year just what they have been get
ting in the past.
