powers OF the state, the terms on
which water power privileges have
been granted in many counties, and
ascertain what should be done TO con-
serve the powers not yet granted, be-
gan its sessions at Sault Ste. Marie,
Monday. The principal subject will
be taxation. Under a special act pass
ed by the legislature some years ago,
power companies at the 500 are al
lowed to pay a specific tax OF l per
cent on their capitalization II they de-
sire. The Michigan company is taxed
under this act, paying $4,000 per year

while ii claims that its property Is
worth s7,000.000 II may be remarked
In passing that the local tax rate is
approximately s2250 per $1,000 The
Chandler co. pays taxes on an ad
valorem basis, but its plant is only as
sessed on $4,000. although II is claim
ed to be worth at least 100000.
AS result of this specific tax on
the Michigan company, 1t is asserted
that the 500 loses about $4,000 per
year taxes. With a tax rate of IA
per cent, this condition is not consid-
cred exactly enjoyable.
