Evidence in Tax Case All In.
II is likely the state will take no more
evidence in the Burlington railroad tax
suit. The corporation has not yet sig
uiGod its intention whether II will put in
any testimony or not. Attorney General
Brown has examined all OF the members
81 the State Board of Assessment and UNI
less the railroad company puts in testi-
mony which will require rebuttal he will
not offer any more. The date of resumins
the taking of testimony was left unde-
cided and inasmuch as the railroad has not
asked for another date It is thought pos
sible it will let the case rest where It is
until the supreme court of the United
States passes upon the 1904 case.
