TAX funds MAY

IN COUNTY SOON
Settlement About Reached
Between Railroads and
Counties on Question
Tax Assessor Claims.
COMPROMISE AGREED
UPON BY PARTIES
Contention Grew Out of AS
sessment Made Upon
Operating Lines.

The tax funds OF thirty.eight coun-
ties tied up by a federal injunction Sc
cured by the Rock Island and Frisco
lines, will be released November 23, ac.
cording to a statement made Thursday
by the tax assessor here who has been
in close touch with affairs pertaining to
this section.
The question hinges upon whether
the state equalization board will agree
to IL per cent reduction below the
assessment OF 1921, which was the sub.
ject of the controversy between railway
officials and the state board
The two roads have agreed TO this
compromise and have written the state
board to that effect, the injunction was
granted in the federal court after the
board refused to lower the assessment
on railroad properties which were
claimed TO be taxed on the total valua
lion instead of on SO percent valua
tion which 1t is claimed is the case with
other property In the state.
Roads Begin Now
The move TO straighten out this tan
gle which effects all these countie:
where the two lines operate was sart
ed by the railroads.
In 1921 the railroads were taxed az 81
per cent Of their value. but In 1921 tn
state board increased the value to lo
per cent. and from this the contention
arose.
In speaking of the matter today coun
ty assessors Spears, and county attor
ney Hodge. stated that there had beei
no delay in collecting taxes in thi
county on this account, that they ha,
been in communication with the stat
board. and agreed to abide by what eve
decision they arrived at.
They both said that the values OF tn
two roads in Carter county were +
small that there was no good reason 10
contending too strenuously along tn
lines proposed, and therefore checke
II up to the state board for final SCI
tlement, agreeing TO abide by their d,
cision.
