VALUATION INCREASES
Michigan Railroads Worth $2O7, OSO, 900
SAYS Tax Commission,

LANSING, Observation-Disclosures has been
made here of the valuation and tax rate Of the
railroad property Of the state as fixed by the
state tax commission. The value is given as
year. - ~.
In determining the valuation the tax COM
mission acted under the Galbraith law, passed
at the last session Of the legislature, which
provides for an equalization by the board as
between railroad property and other property
in the state. In many quarters it is held that
this is unconstitutional, and proceedings are
to be Instituted Immediately to test it.
The average rate Of taxation for the state, az
now fxed by the board, is $1461 per 81, 900 of
equalized valuation, as compared with 1892
last year.
The eQualized valuation of property Of ex.
press companies in the state is $14s7 900, and
| Of car1oaning companies is $7OS, 800. This is 4

REFUSE TO ACCEPT

CLAIM MADE THAT INDEBTED.
NESS LIMIT IS REACHED.
Successful Bidders for Municipal Elec-
trio Light Plant Say They Cannot
Take Bonds Under Present Condi-
tions-Another Election May Be
Found Necessary to Legalize Issue.
Special to The Journal.

Aberdeen, s. D., Jan. 15.-It is more than
probable that the bonds recently issued by the
city of Aberdeen for a municipal electric-light
plant will not prove marketable. The firm of
N. W. Harris & Co., the successful bidder for
the bonds. now claims that the city has already
reached the limit Of indebtedness allowed by law,
and thta it cannot. therefore take the bonds.
The city authorities are investigating the situa-
tion and will make complete report Of the
city's financial condition. -. -" 49,.
1t is believed the report will show that the
bonds are entirely legal so far as the city's
present Indebtedness is concerned.
Another question in regard to the legality OF
the bonds has arisen, it being charged that the
notice Of the special election called for the pur
pose of voting on the bond proposition was
only advertised ten days, while the law requires
when bond proposition is concerned that the
election be advertised for twenty days. 1t Is
probable that If the bonds prove sa1able another
election will have to be held to !egalize them.
