PLATTEMOUTH, Neb., April 25.—(Spe- clal.)—Judge Paul Jessen has issued a tem- porary injunction against the Case county | authorities, restraining them from collect- | ing taxes on the west half of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad bridge, which crosses the Missouri river at this place. | The railroad company brought sult in the distriet court here against J. L. Barton county treasurer, and the county of Ca | money and giving a bond | Nebr. | and in which it seeks to evade the payment of | taxes on the west half of the bridge which epans the Missouri river at this point. The petition recites the history of the rallroad the building of the bridge and the transfer from the B. & M. to the Chicago, Burlington | & Quincy, and states that the middie of the river is the dividing line, and that the west half of the bridge has been assesss for state and county taxes on a valuation of $28,000, on which the tax amounts to $679.04 per year. It also alleges that the bridge is & part of the right-of-way and railroad bea, and as such can only be legally assessed by the State Board of Bqualization and not by the county. The injunction asked was to restraln the county treasurer from collecting by distress warrant the taxes already due, and that the assessor be forever restrained from listing the bridge for taxation. Also that the taxes ‘alfeady charged agstns: the bridge be an- nulled. In support of their costention similar | cases are cited involving the taxation of the bridges at Nebr; a City and Rulo, wherein the supreme court ruled that these structures should not be taxed by Otoe and Richardson counties.
