BURLE|CH COUNTY
FACED BY SERIOUS
SHORTAGE OF TAXES
Court Actions by Railroad and
Utility Companies Hold up
Usual Receipts

Refusal Of railroad and utility COM
panies to pay all or part Of their 1898
taxes pending the result Of court &C
tions, will create serious situation for
Burleigh county. school districts and
other political subdivisions, according
to County Treasurer Ernest Elness
Unless farmers use at least part OF
their wheat allotment checks to pay
taxes the county will be unable to
meet its obligations In short time,
he fears.
Utility companies, It Is understood,
will challenge In court, Chapter 252
Of the 1888 session laws providing for
gross earnings tax Of II per cent
in lieu of all other state. county or
school taxes formerly assessed against
utilities. The gross earnings tax pro-
vides for distribution Of the amount
collected from the companies as fol-
lows: 20 per cent goes to the state
equalization fund for common schools
10 per cent to the counties and q
per cent to the taxing districts with
in, the county in the proportion that
the book value Of the operating prop
erty within the district bears to the
book value Of the operating property
within the county. The amount Of
taxes collected under the old law
from the public utilities In Burleigh
county In 1882 amounted to SIG, 29o.73
The 500 Line refuses to pay any
taxes until the courts decide whether
the assessment set by the state board
Of equalization Is legal. The Northern
Pacific has tentatively agreed to pay
70 per cent Of its taxes pending the
result Of a similar action.
The Northern Pacific paid SO. 707. II
into the county treasury In 1882. For
1888 Its assessment was raised to $751;
1922. The railroad Is asking for q
reduction Of 80 per cent from that
amount but will pay 70 per cent Of It
the first Of March.
The 500 Line paid 81, 202.47 in tax
es In 1882 and Is assessed $l7.584.l9
for 1888. It is asking for reduction
Of 81 per cent from this figure.
Failure to collect the railroad and
utility company taxes will hit the
school districts OF the county harder
than other subdivisions. Some dis
tricts along the main line OF the rail-
roads receive as much as $500 from
this source and It is q welcome source
Of revenue at this time Of year, Elness
said.
