MICHIGAN ROADS

Special to The Journal.
Calumet, Mich, Sept. 26.-The attorney gen
erals department has prepared the answer OF
the state to the injunction suit started by the
Wisconsin Michigan Railroad company to enjoin
the collection of the tax assessed against the
road for 1905. The legality of the present rail-
road assessment is involved in this suit. AS a
new point is raised it Is believed the other
railroad companies will back the complainant
In taking the to the United States court.
For two Or three years the Wisconsin & Mich
igan railroad has been assessed $3.50, 900, and it
was put down at the figure in assessment made
by the tax commission last January. Upon the
review, however, the assessment was increased
to 100000 and the rate Of taxation also raised
SO that, instead Of being called upon to pay
1882 in taxes, the company was assessed
$31 ,22s -
The ground for complaint on the part of tn.
company is. that it notified by the tax
commission when the first assessment was made
that its old valuation Of $500, 0OO had been
