The facts agreed upon were that up to May 31 the properties, including the gasometers and governors, were continuously rated and the amounts paid by the company. In tlio valuation in 191" the value of the gasometers was included, but the company contended that the gasometers, mains, and pipes were machinery, and therefore not rateable. In respect to the amounts paid by the company it was asserted that this was dun- to a mistake of law.
