VALUATION OF RAILROADS.
Waco EGunlizers Discover n We,
Considerable Discrenancv

waco Equnlizers Discover n Very
Considerable Discrepancy,
Waco, Texas, August 1.-The CITY board
OF equalization has been engaged for a
week trying to arrive at a, satisfactory
conclusion as to the value of the railroad
property in the city. The railroads have
been assessed at from $4,000 to $1,000 each
year, valuations given by the agents here,
but the board became convinced that the
assessments were too low To assist them
In arriving at an equitable valuation the
board addressed letter to the State rail-
road commission, asking for a statement
of the valuation placed by that body upon
the railroads in the city of Waco. The
reply was a sumner. The value of the
Cotton Belt property in the city was placed
by the commission at $15S,000 1t had
been assessed at $1,000. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas was placed at Sl2S000 and
the assessed value according TO the tax
rolls heretofore was $4,000. Other railroads
entering the city showed similar discrep-
ancies and the board notified the railroads
that they would have to appear and show
cause why the city should not assess the
property at the price put upon it by the
commission The railroads appeared by
attorneys and experts and it is said the
board of equalization now has sufficient
knowledge of the cost Of constructing
railroad to enable the members to go into
the business of construction, contracting
with absolute safety. The board has not
completed Its labors yet and the assess
ments upon the roads have not been
fixed
