Quoted property which has not or will
not be assessed by the state board-S3s, 1875

braska's portion of this is S34,5O7,723. On
a mileage of 2611.23 miles this would equal
/ S132l5 a mile. The bonds equal 479 a
mile, making a total valuation on the

/ Nebraska.
Mr.. Pollard asserted in this state the
road had a total of S75,52O worth of prop
erty which is assessed locally and is not
! assessed by the state board, which should
be deducted. The total deductions to be
made for physical property owned by the
| system assessed locally, he said, amounted
/ to SS,l26, 4Sll2, of which $23, 672,0O4.S2 was
| located on the lines east of the river.
! This is supposed to be the last big day
| Of the series of meetings inasmuch as none
| of the other roads has asked for a hearing
| IT is understood some of the private car
| lines will ask for a date later, at which to
show cause why lower assessment should
not be made on this class Of property. The
board spent the afternoon discussing what
had been said in the arguments and in
casting up the various reports.
