Judge Grimes Sustains Demurrer
Tho tax case of the Union Pacific
against the county was decided in tho
district court yesterday when Judgo
Grimes sustained the demurrer to tho
(Petition by tho Union Paclllc in an
appeal from tho ruling of tho county
commissioners.
On the contention that tho valuation
on property In. Lincoln county, other
than that owned by tho Union Pacific
was assessed too low, or too low as
compared with the valuation placed
on tho company proporty, the Union
Pacific sought to have tho valuation
raised by tho county commissioners,
which the board refused to do. An ap
peal was. then taken to the district
court and by the Judgo's decision tho
action of the commissioners is sus
tained. The company attempted to show that
tho valuation placed on land was much
below Its selling value, or tho valuo at
which it had been sold, and that as a
result the company was paying an un
just proportion of tho tax. In reply
the county, through Attorney Glbbs,
cited cases where, In the convoyancs of
land, the deed price was several times
the actual consideration paid, this in
flation of price being made for effect.
The decision in tho lower court Is
i quite a victory for the county and for"
County Attorney Glbbs, even though an
appeal may be taken to the supremo
court.
