Railroad Valuations
Not to be Reduced
All the Many Circuit Judges the
Same As He win Turn Down
the Railroad Petitions.
DECISION GIVEN AT WESTON
In Circuit Court There, Leaves Rail.
road Valuations at Figures
State Board. Made.

The assessment OF the property OF
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad COM
pany as made last summer by the
State Board of Public Works will
stand in this State. A decision
handed down by Judge Charles w.
Lynch in circuit court at Weston
Monday morning is the foundation
for. the assertion already made. 1t
also means that the decisions of a
number of other circuit judges viii
be practically the same.
Some months ago. 1t will be re-
membered, circuit judges sat at Fair
mont and heard the evidence and
arguments in the cases, and recently
they held consultation at the Waldo
hotel here and same to complete
understanding as to what the decis:
ions should be. Judge John w.
Mason was to hand his down at Fair
mont Saturday but for some reason
the parties interested were not pres
ent, and Judge Lynch's is the first
to be handed down. Those of the
other judges are expected to follow
in rapid succession now, and they
will be practically all alike.
In his decision at Weston Judge
Lynch upholds the valuations OF the
State Board of Public Works as plac-
ed on the property OF the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad in Lewis county, and
thus rejects the petition Of the rail-
road company for reduction. The
several other judges win likewise up
hold the State Board of Public
Works and the decision as given by
Judge Lynch will doubtless prevail
all over the State.
After the State Board OF Public
Works had made public its valuation
Of railroad property in the State, the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
petitioned the circuit judges through
whose circuits the railroad runs to
largely reduce the Boards valuation
of the property. This caused expert
testimony on the part of the rail-
roads TO be laid before the judges at
the Fairmont session and the Cover
nor and other members of the State
Board also appeared In behalf of the
State.
In the decision, which covers
twenty typewriter pages, it is set
forth that the railroad company did
not produce any evidence as to the
real value of the railroad property,
except the value of the physical part,
that is to say. the track. and land,
etc. without regard to earnings,
bonds, franchises, etc. The court
ruled that these latter values are al
so essential in determining the real
and true valne of the railroads
property and that the State Boards
valuation Of the property is nearer
right than that shown by the rail-
road to the court.
In the Lewis county case. which
the decision covers In particular, the
State Board placed the valuation Of
railroad property In Lewis county at
$1.Soo,o0o. The railroad COM
pany in its petition for a reduction
fixed It at s27s,OOo. but the ,esti-
mouy Of the experts of the railroad
company raised the latter amount
some
The valuation Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad for Lewis county win
blythe decision stand at $1,000, 900,
as made by the Board Of Public
Works Of West Virginia.

Years address at the local Young Mems Christian
Association Sunday night by Judge verenice
munger. Of Ansonia. Conn. the speaker pleaded
Tor the men present lead better life during the
coming year and asked those who would like To
become Christians to arise For q moment the
room was still Suddenly man about sixty wears
old. who was unknown 10 those IN attendance
rose from his seat
With tears coursing down his wfthered cheeks
he made long address that held rapt attention
OF the audience. He said he had always wanted TO
become a Christian. but before had he had
enough courage TO ask for prayers. He declared
his intention to follow hereafter in the footsteps
of his Master.
Judge Munger interested IN the stranger
and talked with him. During the course of their
conversation II developed that the man was Henry
LAtioy Mount, a travelling salesman. who forty
years ago coHrted the daughter of the Judge. when
