Assessment of Railroad Property.

Assessment of Railroad Property.
The State Board of Assessors has sent
to the township officials the valuation and
assessment of second class railroad
property This assessment includes the
railroad property that has heretofore been
assessed by the local officers, and consists
of lines outside of the main stem, stations,
freight houses and so on. In this list
there will seem to be great loss In one
or two townships. but that is not the fact.
Fieldsboro, for instance, shows a falling
off of 5000, when the fact is there is q
gain there, the assessment this year being
81, 240 against $4,000 last year. North
ampton also has about $4,000 more than
shows on this list, and some other town
ships have additions sufficient to make
nearly $40, 900 more than this listindicates
The reason for this is that there is some
real estate over which the State Board
does not have jurisdiction. the loca
assessor having charge of It. In Fields
boro there are some residences owned by
the railroad company, in Northampton
some vacant land, and so In other places
there is property not In the main stem o.
the second class. The figures for 1907
and 1908 are here given:
