The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1901-12-14

The total value of the public serv-
ice corporations in Missouri is $780,
000, 900. OF this amount the corpora
tions escape taxes on s24s, 900, 900.
If franchises were equitably as
sessed the state would derive an addi-
tional revenue of more than a quar-
ter of a million dollars annually.
Judge %Rombauer. writing to Mayor
Wells on the subject, says:
THE entire value Of the United
Railways Co. of St. Louis was found
by the state board to be equal to $50
100000. The board deducted from
this amount the value of the tangible
property, namely, $4,000, 900. and then,
instead of assessing the residue of
$42.0 900 900 upon the valuation of the
franchise, as the statute provides. as
sessed only an additional amount of
IS. o 900.
