Of railway assessors left town Wed
nesday afternoon for Emporia. Newton,

where they expect to inspect the rail-
road shops and terminals, and find out
for themselves what this property
ought to be worth
The board must be back in Topeka
on Friday, for on that day the tax
commissioners of the various railroads

at least will be Increased. although
there has not been much railroad pu1ld-
ing in the state during the year.
