DAYTON. September 90.
H. II. Yerington appeared before the Board OF
Equalization to-day to protest against the valu-
alton of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad in this
county. to wit: $4,000 for the main track and
So 600 for the side track. Mr.. Yerington claimed
that that part Of the road in Lyon county did
not cost to exceed $4,000 mile and that he
could build it now for much less; that the earn
ings of the road during the current year will bt
fifty per cent. less than last year, when the mel
earnings averaged nearly $4,000 per MILE that
the company would gladly take $4,000 coo fol
| all its property in this State, and finally tha
the valuation of the Virginia & Truckee Rail
road was unequal as compared with the Contra
Pacific Railroad, which is raised to only 50, OO'
per mile. The Board held that there was nj
evidence in Its possession to warrant q create
! raise in the Central Pacific case, but that tn
sworn statement of the Superintendent of tn
Virginia 4 Truckee Railroad pre- ented to tn
Legislature last Winter fully justified the rails
on the road. The Board unanimously voted t.
sustain the raise.
