commended, am still alive.
II have been watching you since
you got on the train at Springfield
and thought recognized your face
as the one had seen in the adver-
tisement, and as soon as this gentle
man called you by name 1 knew you
were the gentleman I had to thank"

ASSESSMENT OF RAILROADS.
The Corporation Commission is Following the
Law in It.

The Statesville Landmark complains
that under the recent assessment OF rail-
road property in the State, 1redell and
other counties through which the West
ern North Carolina Railroad runs, from
Salisbury to Paint Rock, will get less
taxes than heretofore. 1t goes on to say
that in 1898 land prior thereto), the
Western road from Salisbury to Paint
Rock was assessed as a separate line
from the Murphy branch, and the valua-
ton of this line was much higher than
that OF the Murphy branch, the average
valuation per mile being $12,523.64. But
in 1899 and 1900 the corporation COM
mission assessed the line from Salisbury
to Paint Rock and the Murphy branch
as one road, and apportioned the valua-
ton of these lines among the various
counties interested on the mileage basis,
which averages $12,2342O per mile for
both lines.
This, the Landmark considers mani
testify unfair" and thinks sit is possible
that if the counties interested would
make a concerted effort the ruling might
be reversed before this years taxes are
paid"
This Complaint was yesterday called to
the attention of Mr.. Franklin McNeill
chairman of the Corporation Commission.
He said:
Investigation shows that the West
ern North Carolina Railroad-both the
Murphy and Paint Rock branches-were
built under one charter and are therefore
one road. The law provides:
I" The said Corporation Commission
ers shall first determine the value of
each railroad rolling stock, and all 9TH
er property, ascertaining such value, as
in the case of private property and the
aggregate value thus determined shall be
apporticned in the same proportion that
the length of such road in each county
bears to the entire length thereof
1--WE simply followed this statute. We
ascertained the value of the Western
North Carolina Railroad as a whole and
apportioned it among the counties as di-
rected by the Legislature. If this is not
right it is the fault of the law and not
of the Commission.
cat one time soon after the road was
built, the Legislature divided it into two
sections and officers were elected for
EACH but in 1879 the law making this
division was repealed.
"The total assessed valuation of prop
erty in Iredell county during the years
1899 and 1900 is more than 500, 900 greater
than for any previous year, even though
the county's part of the valuation of the
Western North Carolina Railroad is
nearly $4,000 less than previously.
