If the State revenue agent, Wirt

State and county. The aggregate
amount of the valuation on which
these taxes are claimed is S21a,-
000. 900.
The taxes are assessabe in every
county in which the companies de-
liver goods.
Mr.. Adams SAYS there is no ques-
lion whatever about the liability of
the concerns for the back taxes, as
the question has been in the Su-
preme Court OF The United States
and il has been held that the prop
erty is assessable for taxes where
the concerns ship their own refrig-
orator cars into the State, employ
ing the railroads merely TO deliver
the cars at destination. He will
bring suits in every county where
deliveries have been made for the
State and county taxes for thirteen
years past. The assessment is made
on the valuation of the rolling stock
employed by the companies in de-
livering the goods. The assessment
