COUNTY EQUALIZERS.
The Street Car Companies Have {
Hearing.

1ne SIreeC Car companies nave d
Hearing.
Pursuant to appointment, the county
/ board of equalization, which was re-
convened for the purpose By order OF
the state equalization board, met yes
terday to enable the street car COM
panis to show cause why the assessed
valuation by the county officials for
| this years taxation should not be rails
ed to last years figures. This year 5
assessment on the Salt Lake City Rail
road cOmpany's property is S156,457,
compared with 1926. 900 for last year,
while the Rapid Transit company is
taxed on a basis of S102, ~ as against
$155,OO0 in 1897 The two streaks of
rust known as the West Side Rapid
Transit line were taxed last year on a
basis Of $4,000 for track and cars,
compared with $11. 600 for the same
classes of property this year. This
company was, however, not represented
at the hearing yesterday. In the alb
sence of Chairman Armstrong, Com
missioner Rawlins presided
Attorney E. s. Critchlow, for the Salt
Lake company. and Attorney 2. l..
Williams. for the Rapid Transit COM
pany. were present, but, contrary to eX-
pectations, they did not raise any ques-
ton as to the jurisdiction of the re-
convened board. The purpose of the
two companies was to demonstrate that
their respective properties We're assess
ed amply high this year, and, more
over, on a cash value basis, and this
they proceeded to do. Secretary Jo-
seph S. Wells and Superintendent w.
p Read of the Salt Lake company pre-
scented facts and figures to substantiate
their contentious. Superintendent
Stone of the Rapid Transit company
corroborated every allegation.
1t was represented that the Is miles of
the Salt Lake company's tracks, as
sessed at SO. $50 per mile, and the 16
miles of single track valued by the as
SCISSOR. at 81, 800 per mile, could be re-
newed throughout for SS,S25 and $4,000
per mile, respectively. but the track
being nearly ten years old, it is not
worth nearly as much as the first cost.
In fact. the professionals claimed that it
was customary to allow 10 per cent
yearly for depreciation and wear and
tear. not only on track. but on cars,
machinery, etc. In the matter of ma
chinery, the Salt Lake company's Off
Gals declared its steam plant, taxed
last year at $4,000. but this year at
IS, 900, was now idle and of compare
lively little actual worth.
Data was presented to show that the
old Sprague motors, which originally
cost 81. 800 could now be purchased sec
ond hand for $50 each. 1t was alleged,
too, that the double motor cars, which
cost SLIPS and are assessed for $500,
could be laid down here from the east,
that is, good secondhand ones, for $685.
eech.
The hearing will be resumed this
when. if they respond to the
subpoena. f. j, Yard, chief engineer
of the Rio Grande Western, and f. A
Vail, who fills a similar post with the
Salt Lake & Ogden road, will appear
to testify as disinterested experts on
behalf of the board.

nary civil process is the only way of

island, on the coast of Maryland The
widest excitement followed the outbreak
of the fire and several of the II steerage
passengers, all Jamaicans. endeavored 10
seize the life boats. The third mate
Percy Sanders. was forced to draw his
revolver to prevent the men from the
Steerage leaving the burning steamer in
the three life boats. which could easily
have accommodated the other AZ passen-
gers and members of the crew. The steer
age passengers We're, however, forced out
of the boats by Captain Wake. an his
men. and when discipline was res ed
preparations were first made for the saw
ing of the women and children of the yes
sci. The life boats were lowered. The sea
was quite calm and the ships officers stood
by the rope ladders. Thus a panic was
averted and the safety of the SO persons
on board the Ardanhu assured.

was so heavy that it was for time IN
safe for the passengers to remain on the
upper deck They We're all ordered for
ward and the women and children were
first put into the life boats, each of which
had q full supply of food and water on
board; and were supplied with compasses
and signal rockets.
1t was nearly midnight when Captain
Walker considered that he had the fire
under control. and decided to continue on
his way to New York. The women and
children we're taken back to the steamer
and the life boats were hoisted to the
davits, but were not taken on board The
officers from that time on kept watch over
the life boats to prevent the II Jamaicans
who appeared terror-stricken. from de-
sorting the burning ship in them. Most
