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.

the lnnds assessed to the company,
stens should be taken without delny

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

er advised that the assessments have
been made in the snme manner nnd at
the snmo valuation as though tho lnnds

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
