Gray. secretary of the State Board of

Board Of Assessors, after the latter
board had adjourned subject to the call
of Chairman Lysight, and had turned
over to him the assessments 1t had

The board of assessors increased the
assessment of the railroads. etc, for
1901 over 1900 exactly sol ,9S6, 6,59S. The
sum Of S2,0O0,0O0 must be deducted
from the latter figure. being the
amount OF real estate owned by the
corporations In the state. which is as
sessed by the county assessors. But
that sum is offset by S6.OO0,OOO, ap-
proNimately, which must he added to
the increased assessment, being the in
tangible value placed on foreign car
companies, whose rolling stock is in use
