Valuation OF All Express Com.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 3.-The stats
board Of assessment has raised the
assessed valuation of all the express
companies doing business in the state
at a total sum of $251,177, which is a.
100 per CEN increase from previous
years.
The board is now considering the as
sessment of railroad property, and has
already a~scertained that the railroads
in former years have escaped with a
taxation so low that is out of all pros
portion to other taxable property in
the state. 1t is expected that they will.
be raised considerably in order to bring
the assessed valuation on a somewhat
equal footing with all other property
How much the raise per mile will be
cannot be determined FOR some days as
the taxes requires careful investiga-
ton. After assessments have been
made all parties will be given ample
time in which to be heard.
