Lombard street took its name from

being often in great straits for money
to carry on foreign wars and for
other purposes they appealed to the
Lombard merchants for advances,
granting them exclusive privileges in
return. Their extortions became SO

County Commissioners Make
a Reduction.
COMPANIES ARE NOT SATISFIED
Offer to Compromise Is Made by ak
Agent Morrcw-Another Hearing
Held Today.

If the county commissioners of Wal
il Wall, stand by the decision made
late yesterday afternoon regarding the
assessment of railroads in this county,
the O. Z &, NJ, Northern Pacific and
the Washington & Columbia River
railway companies will have to pay on
a valuation of $500 per mile OF their
main lines aud $1,000 on the side tracks,
while tn" O. r. & \. will pay on a
valuation Of $500 per mile on their
narrow guage line and $500 on the
rolling stock of the same line.
This reduction was made after the
commissioners had held conference
with County Assessor Bergman and
after the tax agents of the railroad
companies had finished their argu-
ments in favor of a reduction. The
companies had asked for a uniform re-
duotiou Of s5S0S from $4,000 per mile
on the main lines. from $4,000 to not
exceed $500 on sidetracks and the Q.
r. & N. ga rolling stock from $1,000 per
miip to S615

ing to stay with the board until they
fired him out He said he lived in
Walla Walla and was going to fight it
out if necessary.
The question of the classification OF
the w. & G.. r. road was discussed and
it was decided that an effort be made
to get the road classed as a third class
road by the state board of equaliza-
ton. This would materially reduce
the taxes on this line which now is
rated as second class like the o. r. &
n. This would not affect the county
taxes for this year but the difference
In state taxes would make the aggre-
gate about the same as it would be if
the road was assessed as second class
at the figures asked for by the COM
pany.
Still in the Air.
No final decision was made by the
board, although the feeling of the COM
missioners seemed to be that they
could not go back on their ruling OF
$500 per mile made yesterday.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-08-12

was satisfactory to the railroad peo-
pie but they said that they were not
willing to accept as final the valua-
ton placed upon the main lines. They
asked for a further conference with the
board and this morning the subject
was taken up again by J. w. Morrow,
tax agent of the O. r. & n.
Mo--ow's Offer.
He made a strong argument for a
compromise, urging the advantage to
both parties to get together. He said
the railroad company did not want to
get into the courts and that it would
be an expense and embarrassment to
the county to be deprived of it's taxes
while a five, six. eight or ten-year law
suit was dragging out in the courts.
For this reason he said the company
was prepared to go half way to meet
them in fixing the assessment up on a
fair basis to all cOnceTped. He wanted
to reach some figure which would be
fair to all concerned so that he could
recommend that the tax be paid by
the company and there would be no
more trouble.
Compromise was the keynote of his
talk. He said that he thought the roll
ing stock was high enough, as equal
lied by the board. but in order that
they might come together he was will
ing to add $1,000 a mile even to the
rolling stock if the board would equal
in the county to the uniform rate Of
S5SOS a mile This would make an ad-
dition of $4,000 to the assessed value
of the O. r. & n. and would be more
than splitting the difference between
the $5S0S a mile asked for and the
$500 assessed by the board. He said
he distinctly wished it to be under
stood that he did not admit that their
rolling stock was worth any such sum,
but would allow the increase on this
SO as to eliminate any possibility of
trouble. On this basis two little rail-
roads would be practically paying over
Is per cent of the taxes in this county.

Railroad Position.

railroad SoSltion.
Ex-Governor Miles c. Moore, repre-
senting Manager Calvin of the O. r. &
~, stated that while it was to be re-
GREETED that there might possibly be a
clash between the government and the
railroad company, he was authorized to
say that the rebuilding of the Kahlotus
branch was not a scheme of the rail-
road company to intervene in any way
with the reclamation work of the gov
eminent. but was the result Of a re-
quest of the farmers in that locality of
three years standing.
John w. Langdon, of this city. and
who is one of the large land owners
in the Kahlotus district, stated that he
was one of the leaders in the move
ment began three years ago to secure
the rebuilding Of the road. At that
time the matter was taken I'D with the
railroad officials, but they decided that
there was not enough business in that
locality to justify the company in
operating the branch. This year the
country has SO developed that the
company had now decided to rebuild
the line. He did not believe that the
railroad company should be censured
for it's action as it was only meeting
the demand of the farmers in that
country.
