140 P. 731 | Mont. | 1914
delivered the opinion of the court.
Upon the creation of Sheridan county from a portion of Valley county, the commission appointed by the governor to adjust the property rights and indebtedness reported that the new county owed the old one $108,436.98. This proceeding was instituted by a resident taxpayer of Sheridan county to compel the commission to reassemble and to reapportion the indebtedness. The ground of complaint is that, notwithstanding there were “in Valley county, Montana, divers and sundry expensive steel bridges, aggregating in value at that time more than $162,000, and there were then located in Sheridan county bridges aggregating in value not to exceed the surtí of $54,000,” the commission declined to consider the value of these bridges in determining the net indebtedness of Valley county and the proportion thereof properly chargeable to Sheridan county.
The only question for determination upon this application is
Upon the record as presented, the relator is not entitled to any relief, and the application is therefore dismissed.
Dismissed.
