good grounds for vigorous kick at the
recent tax settlement made with tho San
ia Fe. The $4,000 tax Of 1901 was,
by agreement cut down to $4,000. but
La Junta failed to get her proportion Of
the reduced amount paid. The Tribune
says:
In the original assessment the valdation
Of railroad property in the city limits and
also in the school district was about TWEEN
ty times greater than that fixed by the
terms of settlement. This was caused by
the fact that the state board Of equaliza-
ton included twenty miles Of sidetraok in
the original assessment, and under the
terms Of the settlement the only Santa Fe
property assessed is the main line mileage
within the city limits which is about three
quarters of mile. Under the original
assessment the railroad valuation within
the city limits was S284,25s and the tax
due La Junta S2.852.5s. Under the bs-
sis Of settlement the railroad valuation
was reduced to Sl5.o5l, and the total
tax that will be received by the oitv of
La Junta is Sl60.5l. School district No.
