Springfield, H., May 9,-According
to an opinion rendered yesterday by
Attorney General Stead to the auditor
of public accounts, in answer to an
inquiry from the auditor as to how
he should value the property of the
Illinois Central for taxation, the com

taxes in proportion to the value oil
his or her property.
The opinion holds that the railroad
company has a right to deduct all
