son, Topeka & Santa Fe officials, who

REFLECTS ON RAILROAD BOARD.
Seems to Have Shaved U. p. Assess
ment ON ArmourdaIe Land.

nLGuL Oh AEIllOuE1&dlG Lana.
The contest between the county Off
Gals in Kansas City, Kan, and the
Union Pacific railway over the amount
of land in a tract lying between Arm
strong and Armourdale in that city
will be decided at the next meeting
of the state board of railroad asses
SOrS at Topeka, Kan.
The county officials claim the tract
is not being used for railroad pur-
poses and have assessed 1t as contain
ing sixty-seven acres at a valuation
of $1,400 an acre. The state board of
railroad assessors has assessed the
land as containing only thirty-four
acres at a valuation of $500 an acre.
At the instance of the state board
w. E. Adamson, county surveyor of
NeoshO county, Kansas; John c. Bye,
resident engineer of the Union Pacific,
and William Barley, eX-county sur
veyor of Wyandotte county, made a
survey of the land on May z. Accord
ing to Mr.. Barl1Iey's figures the con-
tention of the county as to the amount
of land in the tract is correct. This
means that the Union Pacific has es-
capped the payment of taxes on thirty
four acres of the land for several
years and the county officials say they
will attempt to collect all back taxes
from the company.
The result of the survey has been
reported to the state board of railroad
assessors.
