Terminal Taxation Bill.
Senator Thomas this afternoon intro
4duced his terminal taxation bill in the sem
ate. The measure does not Interfere with
the present method of assessment Of rail-
road terminals for state. county and school
1diEtrict purposes, but makes provision for
the .assessment-of the terminals by cities
and villages by the local assessors. For
municipal purposes the railroad property
lis assessed like other property. For state,
county and school dietrict purposes the
value OF the terminals will still be dis
trfbuted over the entire line in proportion
to the number of miles OF road in the tax
ling district The new bill avoids the OBJ
lection Of some OF the members from the
= country districts that the taxation of ter
eminals by the municipal authorities would
reduce the revenue received by the munich
palities and school districts which have
no terminals or terminal property of small
value. 81
