U disputed by the road.
At tho request of lion. John I. Hall,
tho author of tbo act imposing the tax,
the attorney-general has been called
upon for his construction of the law.
Judge Hall wrote the comptroller that
tho design of the legislature which
passed the act was to make its enforce
ment against railroads contingent on the
failuro of the stato to obtain taxes di
rectly from tho sleeping car companies.
The comptroller thinks the law provides
lot tbo taxation ct these companies and
the railroads operating their sleepers,
'^sheriff Thomas has filed all fl. fas.
placed in his hands against railroads for
sleeping-car taxes. Ho has levied on an
engine belonging to the Georgia Pacific,

meaning of the act tho comptroller has

Car Company to replevy their property.

Tho comptroller has notiUcd all insur

now due.
I: has been scarcely a month since the
