RAILWAY VALUES
NEARLY DOUBLED

Pierre, S. D., Aug. S.-The entire val
uation of railway property in this state
this year is $21, 659, GOO.
This is an increase of 45 per cent ovel
last year, when the valuation was fixed
at S14, 1852, 900.
The state BOARD of assessment, which
completed it's work on the railroad as
sessments today, made advances all
along the line, thus fulfilling promises
made during the campaign by insur-
gents that they would make an ade-
quate assessment of all railroad prop
erty. 1t was the insurgent claim that
railroad values We're entirely too low
and their investigation, resulting today
in the big increase, indicates that they
We're right.
Where last year the average assess.
ment per mile was $4,170 this year it is
increased to Sc, S06, an advance of 81, 596
per mile, a raise OF not quite "a per
cent.
One of the biggest increases made by
the board was in the terminal railway
property at Sioux Falls. Last year the
very low assessment of $751; 0 was
placed on this property, but this year
the board boosted it about 5000, 900,
making the total assessment $2SS, 40S.
