COUNTY WON AFTER ALL.
Found That Union Pacific Had More
Land in WyandOtte County.

Although the Union Pacific railroad
company recently won its suit in the
supreme court over the payment of
taxes in Wyandotte county. the su-
preme court deciding that the assessed
valuation as fixed by the State Board
of Railroad Assessors would stand, as
contended by the railroad company,
instead Of the assessment fixed by 10
cal assessors, the county has virtually
won in its contention with the com
pany as to the amount of land it had
unoccupied by tracks and buildings.
The county authorities have been
contending that there were about six
ty acres, While the railroad company
returned only thirty acres for taxation
The land is assessed at 500 an acre,
so the acreage cut cOnsidera bic figure.
The question of the acreage came
up some time ago when Deputy COun-
ty Clerk Huffman of Wyandotte coun-
ty made his annual visit to the board
of assessors to object to some of the
railroad assessments Mr. Huffman
insisted that the Union Pacific's unoc-
cupied land be put in at sixty acres.
n. H LOOMS, attorney for the rail-
road company, said he had always
found the surveys given by the com
pany'S engineers correct, and he finally
suggested that the board of railroad
assessors have the ground surveyed
and his company would stand the ex-
pense- Human objected to that. but
agreed to leave it TO three assessors,
one representing the company, one the
county, and the third to be named by
the state board.
w. f. Adamson, county surveyor of
Neosho county, was named as the
represer tative of the board, and he
files the report of the three. Wyan-
dotte county was represented by Dep
uty County Surveyor William Barclay,
and the Union Pacific company by
John Q. Beye, its resident engineer.
The difference seems to have come
about from figuring the right of way
in different ways Mr. Beye claimed
that a right of way of 100 feet wide
should be allowed not only for all
main tracks, but also for all side
tracks and spurs. Mr.. Barclay, on the
other hand made his figures by al
Lowing only % feet for the side tracks
and spurs, and throwing out altogeth-
er certain spurs which it was claim I'd
were not used by the company.
Mr. Adamsou decided that 25 feet
was the width generally figured for
side tracks. but he counted in all such
tracks and spurs, figuring the acreage
at 1898 acres, or about six acres less
than the county claimed, and nearly
"a acres more than the company re-
turned.
