The bill lor^said? taxes ,‘i. dated. March 28 , I956 ,.r ? ? .? was . sent to me by you- in your letter , of A ril-=o, 1356. and; I return the same herewith.\ It.appears.therefrom that the Railroad Company is, c h a r g i n g t h e -Bistrce t tor- t h e ' portion*’, of the 1955 State and Countyftaxes, that is -the period of February. 14. 1955.- to June 30 , 1955. I n my oj inion tlrf s\AY bill .shouldr be .'paid by the District. The deed for the parcel of land-:i nvolved was ' Y A A -dated January 22. 1955 . • I was under 'the impression that ' ’ • ’ • 5*$ at ..the ,d:< te of the deed , the tax for the year 1955 had a ; - ' ' ready been levied and _ the tax .den for the year-, already .-established, but it was called” to my. attention by 'Mr; C':> 'M. Bates, Railroad General, and and Tax Agent, that lee. 70 of .the; 1353 statute h a d ' bee n 3 amended at the Special vd 1954 Session of '.the Legislature, which amendmen 1 became effective January 12, 1954 and before .the da te of s a i d ' v . d e e u . The result of this amendment was; that '.there, was nod levy of tsfwces made between January lY. 1955..and' June 56, 195o. . Consequently there was. no tax .1 ieri against the Y' A A A c property. Technically speaking the Railroad Com;.any would *?*’? '5: gY'd'di" not have had to .pay any : taxes T on said parcel . I a:ir aware A - A A p - .5; of the fact that propej-ty belonging to the Water District Y 3 Y! Y ’A y • is exempt from taxation b u t . inasmu*. h as no * exempt ion was claimed and inasmuch as the Railroad Company paid the 't. ^thereon . I think i t jus t that the District^should; re-rimbursejfAYA^;®^f the Railroad for the proportion asked. ’ r vY Y-’-i Ver y trul y you r s . Me Namee
