Freight on Suburban Railways,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
notice that the Commissioners propose
TO recommend to Congress that the Mary
land Suburban railway shall be prohibited
frcm conveying freight of any kind.
On the contrary, 1t seems to me that all
the suburban roads which extend out into
the country should be authorized to run
freight cars, especially at night, for the
purpose of bringing in garden truck. milk
and other supplies for the market. 1t
would In no way ineommode the travelling
public. and would be a great accommoda
ton TO the producers and all concerned.
This Is done In other sections of the CONN.,
try with great advantage. and can see no
reason why 1t should not be done here
The objection of the baltimore and Ohio
or any steam road should not be considered
for moment, for surely its refusal TO
abolish grade crossings or do anything thai
the citizens desire to better the condition
OF affairs here gives IL no claim to any
consideration at the hands of the Commits

Springfield, Ills. Nov. S.-The state
board of equalization met yesterday
morning pursuant TO adjournment.
The secretary reported that since ad-
tournament last week the abstract of
the assessment of Cook county had
been received and was now being tabu-
lated and put in shape for the printer
The abstract as made by County Clerk
knopf is not in accordance with law.
and until it is corrected nothing can
be done in the way of eQualizing per-
sonal property.
Not Up to Law Requirements.
The law requires that the assess
ment of personal property shall be alb
Stracted, and the number. value and
average value of each item of enumer-
ated property be shown. Instead of
making an abstract in this way the
county clerk has reported the assess
nient of personal property in the ag
Sregate only. Secretary EubankS. of
the state board. has called the atten-
tion of the county clerk to the unsat-
isfactory condition of his report in this
respect. but he writes that it will be
almost impossible for him to make his
report as required by law.
Matter Referred O a Committee.
The stand taken by the county clerk
brought on quite Il discussion in the
meeting of the board. Mr.. Cadwal-
lader thought the board should insist
on an itemiZed statement. We do not
know" said he. whether they have
their horses assessed at at SO or 500.
They have sent in their assessment on

can we equaliZe it if we have no basis
to go on? They should be compelled
