RAILROAD ASKS
FOR INJUNCTION.

Council Bluffs, April 3.-The
Chicago, Milwaukee g. St. Paul
railroad has transferred from the
district court of Harrison county
to federal court it's suit to enjOin
the county from proceeding to
collect tax of $4,000 levied
against the road for benefits"
and costs of construction Of
drainage ditch. The total cost of
the Improvement was $4,000 and
the average tax levied against
quarter sections in the district
was around $500, varying widely,
but the road was assessed more
than one-third of the total cost.
The company claims the assess
ment is disproportionately great
in comparison to any supposed
benefits. The road claims actual
damage to embankment and right
of way and trackage by reason of
softening of the grade by water
thrown against the embankment.
