GTr. Chairman and gentlemen Of the Board
of Supervisors: Your committee, to whom
was referred the Equalization OF railroad
property. would report that they have no de-
scrption upon which TO base aValue OF the
various descriptions of property, but assume
that the assessors of the several towns nave
adopted the same basis valuation with refer
encc to railroad property that they have with
|
to individuals. We would therefore recon-
mend that the County Clerk be instructed to
extend the valuation of lands belonging TO
railroads in the several towns to an equality
with the average value Of other lands, and
that the same per cent be added to or deducs
ed from the assessed value of town lots and
personal property belonging to railroads as
Shall be adopted by this Board with reference
to the same class of property, in the several
towns belonging 10 individuals.
