Railroad Asks to Raise Assessments A petition was filed Tuesday after noon with tho board of county commis sioners tho prayer of which is. that the county board cite all property owners in Lincoln county to appear before them while they sit as a board of equal ization and show case, if any, why the tax valuation of property should not be raised to correspond with the valuation E laced on tho Union Pacific property In incoln county. At the same time William G Betty, representation the railroad company, filed with the board certain data which ha had secured from the records of the county clerk giving all transfers of real estate in the county represented by warranty deeds for the Inst live years, which deeds purport to cite the selling value of land that has been transfered in the county. He had also looked up and secured the assessed valuation of the land and compared it with the aver age assessed valuation of these samo lands. This data shows a ratio in the land values as shown by the transfers and tho assessod valuation of about $17.80 and $7.50, which would tend, they claim, to show that the property of the railroad com pany is assessed about one-third higher than private property in this county. Tho board took the petition and tho data under consideration and rendered the opinion that it was physically im possible to comply with the prayer of the petition and to cite all property owners to appear und show cause why the tax vuluaticn should not bo raised, It Is presumed that the Union Pa cific ia laying n basis for a mandamus proceedings, or similar action, against tho county board to compel thein to comply with the prayer of the petition, ill. wnicn lime wey win iuiuuiii. iu biiuw to the court the inequality tnat exists between the assessed valuation of pri vate property and that of railroad prop erty.

At the same time that this petition was filed here, similar ones wore filed in Keith, Duel and Cheyenne counties, counties located in this part of the state, flir. Beatty, who complied the datu for this, has eeen in this part of the state for several months past. He came here in March, presumably to cdrrect the tax payments of the com punv and compute what taxes, if any, had been left unpaid or had been over paid. The company, it seems by this action, hopes to lower their taxes here by meani of raising the valuation of ttie other property and in this way bringing about a smaller levy. Wanted!
