Will 'Appeal to Supreme Court.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. s.—The Circuit court yesterday decided that taxes assessed against the express companies doing business in the state by the state board of tax commissioners cannot be collected. The board last year assessed the companies at J 1,357,975. The assessment was made under the law of 1893, and was on the mileage basis. The court holds that the companies can be assessed on their tangible property only. The attorney-general will appeal the case to the Supreme court.
