Ityou are subject to constipation. you

Attorney General Claims State
Board viii Fix Valuation on

Assessor Jas. Fox has been in a quanda-
ry lately as to whether it is his duty to
enter the new Fleetwood branch of the
Great Northern on his list or not. on ac-
count of the line still being under the con
troll OF the contractors, not having been
accepted by the Great Northern Ry. Co,
says the Valley County News. He con-
suited County Attorney Hurry through
whom he secured an opinion from the at
torney general. and the situation is inter-
preted by the letter as follows;
IJhn Hurry. Esq.
County Attorney.
Glasgow, Montan.
Dear Sir:
am in receipt of your letter of Februa-
~ ;, 1911. concerning the branch line of
railroad constructed in Valley county and
known as the Bainville-PlentYwood branch.
find from an examination of the re-
cords of the Railroad Commission that
this branch was constructed by and for
the Great Northern Railway Co.. and is a
branch line Of that company. This pro-
perry would therefore come within the
provisions of the law. making 1t the duty
OF the State Board of Equalization to as.
sess the franchise. roadway, rOadbed. rails
and rolling stock of all railroads operating
in more than one county. as the operation
OF this branch is not an individual or sepa.
rate operation. but is part of the opera
ton of the Great Northern system. The
statute referred to is Section ASST of the
Revised Code. and ! am therefore of the
opinion that it is not proper for the asses
sor oil Valley county to make an independ-
ent assessment Of this line of railroad but
that it should be considered as part of the
Great Northern lines and the valuation
fixed by the State Board of Equalization.
Yours very truly,
ALBERT ]. CALM.
