BOARD OF ASSESSMENT
HOLDS SHORT SESSION

VIII Meet Again Today when Real
Work VIII he Commenced.
The State Board of Assessment.
which is charged with the duty OF
fixing the valuations to be put on the
tangible property OF the railroads, the
telegraphs and telephones lying within
the borders of the State for purposes
Of taxation, met yesterday for few
minutes only at the Capitol. 1t was
decided to meet again this morning at
10 o'clock when the real work of the
Board is expected to begin.
The plan of procedure determined
upon yesterday by the members OF the
Board is in line with the method which
was followed last year. This Is to
devote a special hour or day to the
hearing of each RAILROAD or telegraph
or telephone company, as the case
might be, and get the facts separate
ly and in detail for each corporation.
After the corporations have been
given q full and satisfactory hearing
the Board will go into executive ses-
sion and come to their decision as TO
the assessment to be put on the
property in question. Statements OF
the railroads have already been filed
with the State Auditor, and on the
basis Of these and the statements of
personal representatives to appear be-
fore the Board, the calculations OF
valuations will be made.
This meeting Of the Board. which
Is to get assessments for the fiscal
year Beginning October 1 next. will
not attract quite the attention that the
meeting fixing the valuations for the
current year held in 1907. Then there
was q recognized agitation for raising
the valuations and there was an out
pouring of railroad representatives to
resist the program This year 1t is
believed there is no disposition to
make any further raises in view OF
the large increases Of taxes last year.
However, this is speculative and the
members of the Board. that is. the
Governor, the State Auditor. the Secre-
tary of State, the Attorney General and
the State Treasurer. are reticent in
their discussion of the probable action
