Railroad Men In Evidence
Commenting on the action taken by
the State Board Of Assessors, but with
out making any report Of the meeting,
the Reno Gazette's Carson correspond
emit has this to say:
"In a way, some of the faces seen on
the streets to-day reminded one of the
session a year ago when the fight for
the Railroad Commission bill was up
permost in the public mind. l.. A.
Blakeslee, uncommunicative as ever (;
O. o. Whittemore Of the Salt Lake road.
smiling and gay as q dancing master; J.
f. Hedden, glum and taciturn-all Of
them were here, drawn by the magnet
of the State Board of Assessors. De-
spite the fact that the roads claimed be.
fore the State Railroad Commission that
they were entitled to interest ON their
tracks at a valuation Of 100000 a mile.
the Assessors thought that a raise from
81, 900 to 81. 500 per mile was sufficient.
Some day there is going to be a roar
over this railroad assessing that will
not die until more than one man has
lost his Office. The feeling in Reno is
especially keen, where other assessments
have been so greatly increased"
