RAILROAD VALUATION.
On motion by Mr. BRANHAM, (the rules being suspended for the purpose) the House took up the consideration of the report from the Committee on Ways and Means on the engrossed amendments of the Senate to Mr. Miller's bill [H. R. No. 158], to provide for the appraisement and taxation of the property of railroad companies in this State, and prescribing the duty of officers in relation thereto - the question being on concurring in the amendment reported from the committee.
Mr. NEWCOMB proposed to amend further, adding to section 6: "And shall discharge said county officers from any and every liability for such taxes."
Mr. DUNAAM said he had no doubt the committee would concur in that.
The amendment was concurred in.
The several amendments of the bill reported by the Committee on Ways and Means were also concurred in.
