Tax Commission , Says Tide Lands Have Been Assessed COURT HOUSE NEWS t d J fe 4t p p The state tox commission today re plied to ex-Governor Oswald West that the Corvallis & Eastern tido lnnds had been on the tax Toll of Lincoln county for over six months in nnswer to West 's letter which implied that tho railroad company was dodging taxes on the property. Mr. West also intimnted that unless curbed the rnilroad would claim title to the ocenn bench and the occuti next to it as Balboa once claimed for the Queen of Spain. The commission replied in part as fol lows: Over six months ago Commissioners Eaton and Galloway had this subject under consideration with W. E. Ball, assessor of Lincoln county. They in structed him to assess all of tho lands in question to tho company for tho year 1915, except that wherever an apparent ly vnlid title to any parcel thereof stood of record in tho nnmo of tiny other owner, tho assessment should be made to such record owner. Mr. Bull was further advised that on completion of the 1015 assessment and its review by the county hoard of education. thereby establishing the valuation of the lnnds assessed to the company, stens should be taken without delny to place saoid lands on tho tnx rolls for tho fivo yenrR prior to 1915. in the manner provided by law for the assess ment nnd taxation of omitted proper ty The assessor of Lincoln county has definitely informed the commission thnt its instructions In this mntter havo been carried out: that these lnnds rf the Corvallis & Enstorn Railroad company have been assessed, not only fcr tho vear 1915 but for fivo venrs prior thereto. The commission 1b furth er advised that the assessments have been made in the snme manner nnd at the snmo valuation as though tho lnnds wete owned or claimed by privato indi viduals. The commission doc not underesti mate tho importance of tho isstm wheth er the granting act conveyed to the rn'lroad company any interest in the ocean bench of Lincoln county. This question has been placed before the at torney general, with the request thnt he suggest the proper form of action to be brought with the view of securing an early determination of tho matter. In view of the facts the commission Is unablo to see any good reason for a suggestion, direct or Indirect, thnt it has not performed its full duty in the mattor of assessment and taxation of these lands of the Corvallis ft Eastern Railroad company.
