STEVENS TO APPRAISE ROAD
May Enter Employ of Pennsylvania
Railway System.
Former Engineer of Panama Canal
of transportation Corporation.

John F. Stevens is TO enter the employ
of one Of the great Eastern railroads for
the purpose of making a valuation OF its
property. Mr.. Stevens admitted that such
proposition had been made to him. and
that he has accepted. It is believed that
Mr.. Stevens intends to enter the service
Of the Pennsylvania system.
His engagement to make a study of
valuations for one of the big systems is
regarded as Of great significance. and in
dicating purpose on the part of the road
to demonstrate that their properties are
not overcapitalized. II is believed also
that this action is intended 20 anticipate
such action by the government, as the
roads see that in the near future the
matter Of making a government valuation
of railroad properties is likely 10 become
an issue, and they desire TO know their
status and what may be expected when
the time comes.
in other words, the roads want to be
protected against the possible disposition
of government appraisers Understanding
the value of their holdings. Recently one
important railroad company in the East

reasons are assigned for the railroads

that they would prefer a single valuation,

the government rather than a piecemeaI
valuation by the different States, which
Is considered certain unless the Federal
government does the work
The other object is that they believe
the immense value of their terminals in
the large cities viii make their total
property holdings so valuable that they

This is probably due to the cold weather
