HEAVY TAX PUT ON
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Attorney General Rules That a MinI mum of 7 Per Cent on Gross Earn
 ings Must Go to the State.

Springfield, H., October 1S.-In response to a request from Auditor of Public Ac- counts Mccullough. Attorney-General Stead today rendered a written opinion in which the attorney general holds that under the provisions of the charter grant ed the Illinois Central Railroad com pany, the company must pay per cent. of its gross earning into the state treas ury and also a certain amount on all property listed with the auditor of pub lie accounts for taxation. If the total amount does not equal ' per cent of the company's gross earnings, the company must pay into the state treasury enough to make the amount per cent. But if the amount exceeds per cent the company must pay the per cent. on the gross earnings and all additional on listed property the per cent. being a minimum amount, not maximum. The company has listed no property with the auditor since 1859, but has simply paid per cent on it's gross earnings, the con tention of the company being that ! per cent. was all that was required.
 The attorney general in answer to an other inquiry holds that the lines ac- quired leased by the Illinois Central Railroad company since the construction of the original line must be listed for taxation the same as any other railroad property and that the ' per cent. pro- vision does not apply to these lines.

ACTION OF COMMITTEES

The Alabama Great Southern railroad has been refused permission to build a switch track in First alley from Four teenth to Eighteenth street. This de- cision was reached at joint meeting of the Judiciary and railroad committees In the mayors office yesterday afternoon.
 The report of the committee was af- firmed by the City Council at its meet Ing last night There was little discus sion of the committees action in the council when Chairman Parker of lne railway committee reported for the joint commmittee. Discussion before the com mittee, however, developed a strong con- test between the Alabama Great Southern and the Illinois Central railroad which has acquired much of the property abutt- ing on the alley for its local terminals when the road enters Birmingham. There was full attendance of both committees when Chairman Fulghum called the meeting to order at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Besides attorneys for both railroads there were a number of interested citizens present in behalf of contending factions, chief of whom was
 
 Is purchasing agent for the Illinois Cen tral A. c. Smith, attorney for the Ala bama Great Southern, was the first to speak. He submitted blue prints Of the property on both sides of the alley and a diagram of the blocks, together with the names of the owners and those who had expressed a willingness for the Alabama Great Southern to build. MT. Smith went over every foot of ground and pointed out that he had received the consent of the property holders owning ] majority of the frontage, in feet, along the ai- ley. He claimed that out of total Of about 4000 feet he had signatures repre- senting over 2000 feet and urged .hlt the franchise be granted.
 The estimates included about GOO feet owned by the Birmingham Realty com pany which was also included in MT. Leedy's list, MT. Leedy declaring that he had an option on the pr op ,rty that will not expire until April 28. 1906. Mir. Leedy went into details about the purchase of property on the alley for the Illinois Cen tral, saying that he could not tell about the negotiations when the Alabama Great Southern petition was up for considera- tion at a prior meeting of the commit tees.
