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.
The amount Involved is not large, but
tne rauroaa consiaerea tne point impor
tant enough to make a test case upon it,
this being the first time the question
naa Deen raisea. . juage 'uieiana s rul
ing in favor of the county puts the rail
road out of court unless an effort ts
made to amend the complaint. It Is
probable that no effort will be made in
that direction, but that the railroad
will take an appeal at ones to the state
