EFFECTS OF RAILROADS on LASDs--The
effect of railroads upon the value of farm.
Ing lands is a question much canvassed in
the Western States. The st. Louis Demo.
crat says: -
The official tax statistics of Michigan
show that, through those counties where
railroads have been built, the taxable prop.
erty has, within three years, increased 400
to 500 per cent, while in those counties
where no railroads have been built the ratio
ef increase in value, has not been over one
hundred. In drafting their schedules for
the prices of lands, we find, too, that the
Directors of the Illinois Central Railroad
have come far short in estimating the value
of their lands, for the road has caused the
demand to be so great for them, that they
are now bringing large price above the
minimum at which they were rated at Sl2
per acre, are selling for 500, and others ra.
ted at $40, are selling for $25. Railroads.
especially where they course through rich
sections of country, not only augmant the
prices Of lands, but they do more, they
promote social. intercourse, build up cities,
augment the population Of villages, and the
farmer, having cheap outlet to market for
his products, plants fourfold what he did
before the railroad was established, and his
increased activity and industry is rewarded
by large surplus gains, where before he had
none. :sr% -
