ment willi the Northern I'.icilic railroad
as to Ihe payment of us taxes for 11MI7
and IIH'H. The roadbed was assessed in
1IK)7 nt -,5,s'j5, and in 1!K)H at t-i U)0.
Tlie company contended for reduction
to ;5,000 and made a teuder ou that ba
sis, which was refused. Th company

board of equalization, the total tax for

balance on the I'.lll" tuxes to 8,4.'!3.II.
This is a decided victory for the county
and a credit mark for tin- county board of

bered that the assessment on the same
