County Commissioners
Cannot Abate Taxes

At a meeting OF the board Of county
commissioners held yesterday after
noon the matter of the abatement of
tax assessments, was brought up and
it was decided by the board that it
had no authority to grant redress in
this matter, following an opinion given
by Assistant States Atty. w. C. Green,
who was called into the conference to
give his opinion OF the law on the
subject.
There had been filed with the county
board a large number OF petitions for
abatement of tax assessments and as
a result OF the opinion handed down
by the states attorneys Office and the
subsequent action OF the board Of COM
missioners there will be a large num-
ber of cases over the county where
taxpayers will be called upon to pay
the assessment that has been levied
against them by the assessor.
The opinion OF Attorney Green was
based on the decision of the supreme
court OF the state found in N. ID. Re-
port No. ~. page 2S6. in the case of

TRAIN IS i.
ROBBED
LONE Man

Cheyenne. Wyo., Feb. 10. A lone
bandit, held up and robbed twenty
passengers in a Pullman aboard east
bound Union Pacific train No IS last
night between Green River and Rock
Springs. Wyoming. The robber escap-
ed by leaping from the train when the
alarm spread to the other cars. A
posse has left Green River in pur-
suit.
The bandit is supposed to have
boarded the train at Green River. The
first intimation of his presence is said
to have been when he covered Brake
man Taylor in the sleeping car with
revolvers. Taylor was compelled to
pass a hat in which the passengers
deposited their money and other valu-
ables. According to the trainmen sew
eral shots were fired to intimidate the
passengers. .r.. H.. .s..r ...'

the city Of Minot, ct. al, versus
Amundsen. ct. al. In this decision the
court holds that the board of county
commissioners has no right to abate
tax assessments, except in certain
special cases, it being outside the
jurisdiction of the county board
This means that in the future.
should the action OF the Cass county
board be as is indicated, the only place
for redress for over assessment will
be with the district board OF equaliza-
ter. It is generally known that the
matter should be taken up with this
board but there are many who fail to
appear before this board and register
their objection to the assessment, and
then take the proposition up with the
county board
AS a result OF the action OF the
county board yesterday there are a.
large number OF applicants for abate-
ment OF assessment who will not get
relief, no action having been taken by
the board on the applications filed.
