Question as to VaIue Of stoek.

question as to Value OF Stock.
Some question has been raised as
to the value of the capital stock of the
Western of Alabama Railway, and this
question viii figure to a large extent
in determining the amount of taxes
due the state under the decision of the
United States supreme court.
Attorneys for the railroads which
own the stock and who have appeared
against the state in the litigation, as
sert that a great mistake has been
made in assuming this stock to be
worth par. One of them stated he
thought it was worth about so per
cent; saying that according to his rec.
election, it has paid only one or two
dividends y thin the last eight or ten
years.
There are sS,OOO,OC> of this stock
outstanding of which half is owned by
the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company, and half by the Central of
Georgia. If it were worth only 60 the
state could levy tax on a value of
but $1,SOO,OOO, or in the case Of the
