Whereupon the following proceed
ings were had:
The board, on motion, made the fol-
lowing order:
Pursuant to the requirements of

nual salary of the prosecuting attor-
ney of Gem county, Idaho, for the
term commencing the second Monday
of January, 1919, shall be $1,000 per
year.
following petition to be presented to
the Idaho State Board Of Equaliza-
ton:
To the Idaho State Board of Equaliza-
ton:
The board of county commissioners
of Gem county, Idaho, respectfully
represent to your honorable body:
l. That the Payette branch of the
Oregon Short Line railroad, extending
from Payette, Idaho, to Emmett, Ida
no, lying partly within Gem county
and partly within Payette cnunty, has
heretofore been assessed by the state |
board of equalization at the rate Of |
$4,000 per mile, whereas the actual |
cash valuation of said road is vastly |
in excess of $4,000 per mile, being |
about $4,000 per mile.
g. Thai the Idaho Northern branch |
of Oregon Short Line railroad, ex-
tending from Nampa, Idaho, to Lake
port, Idaho, lying partly in Canyon
county, partly in Gem county, partly
in Boise county and partly in Valley
cour~. has heretofore been assessed
by the state board of equalization at
the rate of $4,000 per mile, whereas
the actual cash valuation of said road
is greatly in excess of $4,000 per
mile, being about $4,000 per mile.
3. That said Payette Branch and
said Idaho Northern Branch of said
Oregon Short Line railroad have here
tofore been assessed as separate and
distinct railroads, and not as part of
that single railroad known as Oregon
Short Line railroad; that, as a result
of such separate assessment and sep
arate apportionment of assessed rail-
road values, the counties through
which said branch lines extend have
not received that proportion Of the
total value of Oregon Short Line rail-
road to which they are entitled.
Wherefore, your petitioners pray:
l. That, if the Payette Branch Of
Oregon Short Line railroad be con-
tinued to be assessed as single and
separate railroad line, then its as
sessed valuation for the year 1918 be
put at its actual cash value. ,
2. That, if the Idaho Northern ,
Branch of Oregon Short Line railroad I
l. 20 ha q a
gle and separate railroad line, then
its assessed valuation for the year
1918 be put at its actual cash value. .
8. That your honorable body take
up for consideration the question as =
to whether or not, under the law, all !
parts, lines and branches of Oregon !
Short Line railroad should not be 7
considered as one railroad line, so that
the same should be assessed and tax
ed as a unity, and so that its valua-
ton NAV be apportioned among the
several counties through which it ex-
tends on a uniform mileage basis for q
all parts, lines and branches of the
said railroad.
Respectfully submitted,
Walter Knox, w. M. Wilson, j. +.
Flake, County Commissioners.
