One Eleventh Of All State Taxes.

Charleston. w. Va, May 12.-When
IL is realized that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad pays one-eleventh of
all the taxes in West Virginia,
some idea of the Importance of the
hearing granted the representatives
of the company last week by the
board of public works, can be gained.
The total value of all classes of
property in the state is about $780,
000, 600 and the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was assessed last year about
$50 100000. Every county or other
political subdivision in the state gets
a part of the taxes paid by the Balti-
more and Ohio through the distribu-
ton of the school fund. forswhich two
and one half-cents on the hundred dol
lars valuation was levied last year.
Last year the Baltimore and Ohio
reported its property in West Virginia
to be worth $16.500,000. This repre-
scented the physical value of the road
and its branches, the only element, it
was commended, that could be consid-
cred by the board of public works in
arriving at the assessment
The Ohio River division was valued
by the company at about $4,000 per
mile and the board raised it to $50, 900
per mile 1t is claimed that this di-
vision is not paying proposition, its
gross earnings not exceeding $500
per mile Most of the track is laid
with 56-pound rail that is now nearly
20 years old, while the bridges are too
light to operate heavy trains.
The road runs through an unpro-
ductive TERRITORY. touches no large
cities and is paralleled every mile of
the way by the Ohio river. which en-
ables the steamboats, TO complete for
the freight business. Attorney WEES
ley Mallohan, who adressed the hoard
on, behalf OF che Baltimore and Ohio.
stated that great deal of magma
ton was necessary to find something
about this branch that increased its
value from $4,000 to $50 900 per mile.
1t seems that physical values were
given small consideration BY the
board when the railroad properties
We're assessed last year Through the
I reports required by law from railroads
and from the railroad manuals the
board obtained figures showing the
gross and net earnings. amount OF
capital stock. bonded Indebtedness
and the daily papers furnished infor-
nation as to the price the stocks were
quoted at one Of the markets. These
elements were used as basis by the
board.
Attorney Mallohan stated that with
the possible exception OF few New
England states the assessment per
mile on the r. & o. is greater than
on any other railroad In the country.
He said that some Of the small branch
lines are assessed higher than the
larger roads in states that have the
same laws as West Virginia
He then made the startling state.
ment that the b. & 0. pays one-eighth
of all the taxes. in the state, but was
corrected by Tax Commissioner White
who said the correct ratio is one
eleventh.
