Chauncey Olcott, the favorite come

the last week of his successful engage
ment and will revive at the Metropoli-
tan for all week one of his most beau
tiful plays, ga Romance of Athlone,"

to Times-Republican


Davenport, Jan. 16.-The decision OF
Judge Boliinger in the Davenport as
sessment case brought against the city
OF Davenport by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul Railway Company, in
which the company sought TO have the
city required to accept the figures esr-
't.fied to by the state executive council.
Judge Bollinger sustan's the city's de-
murrer to the coinpany's petition, thus
uphoiding the city in its contention
that 1t has the right to multiply the
staff executive council figures by
Two. TO make them fit the 90 per cent
valuation upon which taxes are levied
acre in Davenport.
The Iowa statutes require that the
state executive council shall fix thu
value of the rlghtof-way. trackage,
buildings, rolling stock. etc, of rail-
ways, divide the total between the va
r.ous counties according TO the COM
pany's miiaage in each county. and
certify to the said counties one-fourth
of the value of said property for taxa
ton. OF course the one fourth valua-
ton is satisfactory TO the cities incor-
pcrated under the general law. as they
levy their taxes on that valuation. but
in the special charter cittes the GUS
toms vary, Davenport levying fewe-
mills on a so per cent valuation. and
Cedar Rapids still fewer on 100 per
cent valuation. Davenport has. there
fore been multiplying the state execu-.
tive council figures by TWO, and Cedar
Rapids by four. to make them fit their
levies.
Judge Bolangers decision sustains
This method of procedure. which the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has
carried into the courts in Davenport
and Cedar Rapids. and in which all the
railroads in the sta:e are Interested.
The company will appeal from the de-
cision.
