RAILROAD TAX
QUESTION STILL
REMAINS IN AIR

County Tax Collector Roberts and
the L. & y. railroad will fight out
the question of contest between the
county and the road, which is protest
ing a $4,000 assessment on personal
property recently made.
The board of county commissioners
has not the power to strike out the
tax assessment made against personal
property of the L. & y. railroad. Who
are seeking to have the tax annulled,
according TO decision handed down
by County Attorney r. p. Reese. The
commissioners have full power as an
equalizing board and can raise or
lower assessments only.
Mr. Reese takes issue with the l..
& n. attorneys that personal prop
erty OF the road is non -assessable.
Oil, fuel and waste, under the statute
by which the government took over
the railroads, are untaxable he claims,
but rolling stock, terminals. tools. ma
chinery, office fixtures, known as per-
sonal property, are assessable by
County Tax Assessor McDavid and
not by the state comptroller, as the
l.. & n. contends.

had planned to break free from the
