Rolling Stock.

Prior to the creation OF the Corpora
ton State Commission the value OF
railroad and canal properties where to be
assessed and to whom assessed were
matters under the control of the state
B ard of Public Works. When the Wash
inc ton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Railway Company constructed their road
from the gate at Mount Vernon TO the
corner of Cameron and Fayette streets
the Office of the company was in this
city and the rolling stock was assessed al
s1S. $50 during the four years, 1885;
In the latter year the road was extended
to Washington, and in 1897 the rolling
stock was increased to $50, Alb, and as
sessed in Alexandria. In 1898 the
Board of Public Works transferred the
stock to Alexandria county for the rea-
son that the car sheds being at the power
house. the rolling stock was housed
there and should be assessed there.
In majority of cases, in fact III most
every case, the State Corporation Com
mission, as 1T appears from their report
of this year, places the rolling stock OF
State railroads where it locates the prin-
cipal Office or agency CT the company.
The outside corporation, for instance,
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Com 3any. is assessed with rolling stock
to the amount of $113,S0S in Lee
county and $37, 0l2 in Wise county, and
as it has no office in the State these
amounts are distributed between nine
stations or townships through which the
road passes. Last year the rolling stock
of the Washington, Alexandria and MI
Vernon road was taxed in Jefferson DIS
trict, Alexandria county; the assessment
was $42, $50 aud the principal ONCE OF
the company was .rinted Mount Yer
non. 1t may be that this was corrected.
and later the assessment also placed al
Mount Vernon, for in some cases cor
rections we're made in the printed reports
of the Commission at their request.
The increase in the value of the roll
ing stock of the electric railway is only
$500. as compared with last year when
it was $42. $50. 1t is now assessed at
Mount Vernon for $42, $50. The total
value of this railways holdings as al,
sessed is $246, 1857, divided or distributed
as follows: Alexandria city, $l5, IVA
Alexandria county, $145, 1872; Mount
Vernon and Fairfax county, $50, SZl'
Alexandria is appreciative of favors. OF
rights, big or little, and it is pleasant
to know that when so much has been
lost little has been found. The Wash
ington Southern Railway Co. has. all 1T
rolling stock assessed here, amounting
to $50, GAS; last year it was $l2, 400.
