TAX CASE DECISION
RULING OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

CIRCUIT COURT.

Deodwood.-A decision of much I'M
p%ortance on tax adjustments has just
been rendered in the circuit court here
by Judge w. G. Rice. The court held
in effect that the county commission
ers did not possess the power to re-
view the assessments of the state
board of equalization except where the
property was assessed over it's true
and actual value, is shown by petition.
The action was brought on an alter
native writ of mandamus sought by
the First National bank of Deadwood
for the owners of bank stock. Their
position set forth that the assess
ment of bank stock was raised 60 per
cent by the state board of equalization
and the county commissioners refus-
ed to review this finding on the opin-
ion of the states attorney.
The commissioners were then man.
damused to appear and show cause
why they would not reduce the assess
ment. Judge Rice on the showing
sustained a motion of the states at
torney to quash the temporary writ,
holding that the commissioners had
not reviewing power in the premises
unless it could be shown that the as
sessment was above the actual value,
which in the present case was not con-
tended.
