VALUES MINNESOTA ROADS
SENATE COMMITTEE PUTS THE
FIGURE AT s215,ooo,ooo.
Finds Earnings on This Basis Are 10
Per Cent.-chicago Great
Western Scored.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 24.-Railroad
property in Minnesota is valued at
$215,000,000 by the Sundbers investi-
eating committee, which returned its
report to the Minnesota state senate
Monday. This is approximately $27,.
1000 mile.
The property is capitalized to the
extent of about s400,000,000, or $4,000
q mile on an average. The net earn
hngs, according to the committees
findings, averaged over $4,000 a mile
last year, or 18 per cent. on the COM
mittee's valuation.
The committee, which consists of
Senators Sundberg, Cushman, Canes
torp, Nelson and Sageng, recommends
that a committee or commission of
three be empowered to investigate
generally into the capitalization of
the railroads of Minnesota and the
the value thereof, and the enactment
of such appropriate legislation as the
conditions disclosed demand.
The report says that to arrive at
the cost of reproducing and equipping
the different lines in their present
condition the committee considered:
First, the original cost of con-
struction; second, the cost of i'm.
provements, betterments and equip
|ment added since; third, the cost and
character of the lines recently built;
fourth. the expense Of operating and
the earnings under existing rates;
fifth, the stocks and bonds and the
value and water thereof; sixth, the
geography of the line and the judy
ment displayed in it's location"
A large section of the report is de-
voted to drastic review of the Chi
cago Great Western. This road, it
says, was built by A. B. Stickney,
who raised the funds by acquiring, or
ganizing, recognizing and Hartman
izing divers and sundry corporations
of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois" The
capital stock and funded debt of the
road is $143,66S per mile, and the
committee figures it valued at about
one-fifth that, or $4,000 a mile. In
dts last report the company certifies
that line ond equipment cost $9S,O11
per mile, and in detail of it's statement
there is an item. purchase construct
ed road $66,994.63 per mile" This
would mean $5O,O0O,O00 for the whole
line. In 1891. there was reported for
purchase of constructed roads &c.
313,91925." 1t was then S15 miles long
Fifteen years later" says the com.
1nittee, this elastic item had been
stretched to $50,594 ,344.2s, but the
whole line had shrunk 60 miles in
length. 1t had been watered too
much"

Cincinnati. O., January I.-After being
stationary at So feet for time during
the morning, the Ohio at this point be-
gan to recede slowly, and at dark had
gone down to 65 feet with all indications
for a continuance of the fall. By the
end of the week it is thought the dam
ger line will be passed on the way down.
and some estimate of property losses
will then be possible.
AT the present all that can be stated
positively is that the aggregate damage
will run far into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, this being distributed
along several hundred miles of the river
and it's tributaries.
The cold weather, which largely as
sisted in the ending of the high water,
was the cause of much suffering among
the thousands of homeless people whose
homes were under water or had been
isolated by the rising waters. The work
of rescue and relief went on steadily
and few were left to suffer, the work
being so systematized that speedy help
was given to all sufferers who couiG
be found. The greatest damage from
this time on will come from possible
wreekage OF buildings as the falling water
pours through them.
