Judge Cleland Sustains the County's Demurrer in A. & C. Tax Controversy. m i i The contention of the Astoria & Co lumbia River railroad that It should not be assessed on its rolling stock in this county was dealt a blow In the circuit court this morning by Judge Cleland, who sustained a demurrer submitted by Multnomah county to the suit brought by the rati rp; I to restrain the collection of the tax. Ths Astoria Sc. Columbia River rail road operates between Portland and the towns of Astoria and Seaside, a distance of about 130 miles, but it only owns ths road as far .east, as- Ooble. From that place to Portland Its trains are run aver the Northern Pacific tracks under a stated sum as compensation. The tax laws provide for the assess ment of rolling stock in each county in proportion to tne mueage or tne road within the county to the mileage in the state. The railroad contended that as It paid taxes in Columaia and Clat sop counties on all the mileage it owns, and the Northern Pacific pays in like man ner for ths 40 or. 46 mile stretch from Ooble to Portland it cannot be further assessed in Multnomah county.
