Strenouu Objection to the Valuation
of .273,o;S. Here, . '
Although the O. R. & V. romnnv
was slow in getting around to look In
to the' mater of its assessments in
Eastern Oregon, a "holler" big and
loud enough to make up for the de
lay has at last been made. Tar nn
Right-of-Way Agent J. W. Morrow
was at the court house vesteidav of.
ternon and filed a vigorous protest to
the figure placed upon the nronprtv
of th fATr. ('., nnt v
Assessor Rinehart. Today he Is In
Pendleton protesting, where . the
road has been assessed $3,000 per mile
higher than in this county. A protest
has also been filed in Wallowa county
where, the assessment on the Eli,'li
branch was the same as that placed
upon the same line by Assessor Rinehart."-
'.
While the board of equalization has
yet a, month to act upon the protest it
is undertood upon reliable authority
that the 'assessor is to be sustained.
The same is true in Wallowa countv.
The total assessment of the company
in Lnlon county is Just $3,373,075. ;
While in this city last evening Mr.
Morrow, said that no protest is to be
made in Multnomah county although
the assessment there is several thous
and dollars higher than It is in t.'nlon
county. He arguest that the road ,in
the more prosperous centers is iuoai
valuable, or that the earning canac-
Ity Is greater. Assessr Rinehart, how
ever, cites the ruling of the supreme
court t othe effect that the road bed
all over the state is to be assessed
the same, where other property, val.u
tions are the name. He also arguos
that traffic is as .heavy in Eastern as
in western Oregon.
Mr .Morrow threatens to take tho
matter into the courts if the board o'
equalization falls to give him redress.
The rulings of the board are subject
to appeal to the circuit court.
