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
lfW amounting to I5,27.S! and the
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
equalization, especially when it is remem
bered that the assessment on the same
