THE SHERIFF RESTRAINED.

Judge Teylor Stop# the Officers From Levying on Railway Property.

At 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Jndgo Taylor, of the Marion County Superior Court, granted the restraining order prayed for by the Union Railway Company at cision the Coart said that ha granted the Injunction because H seemed to him plain that the assessment of the Union Railway Company for taxation by the State Board of Tax Commissioners is Illegal. It is illegal, he said, because tho Union Railway Company Is not a concern operated for profit. It was not understood from the decision of the Court that the reasons given for issuing the restraining order In behalf of the Union Railway Company would bo applicable to other railway companies which are operated for profit. The Union Railway Company’! tracks are assessed at 11,500,000 a mile, and the plea of the company'* officer’s before the tax commission was that the property should not be taxed high, as It Is operated for the convenience of the public rather than the profit of the railroad.
