NOW LOOKS AS IF
RAIL PROPERTY IS
TO Be REVALUED
SmaIley, of Somerset, Forces
House to Take First
Real Step.
From a star Correspondent

TRENTON, March 2S.-Smalley, Of
Somerset, today procured the adoption
of what really is a substitute for all
the propositions for railroad r%evalua-
ton. This represents the joint finance
committees stand. This calls for re-
valuation by three competent persons,
two of them experts, to be named by
governor and confirmed by Senate.
Martin claimed the Smalley plan
( didn't go far enough and fought hard
with Democratic support to put his Ian
<guage assailing the present assessors
back in the resolution.
Martins amendment to designate the
proposed work as valuation instead
Of .-.revaiuation." the idea being that the
assessors had never done their duty.
This was beaten, 81 to Is. The House
finally passed the resolution as amend
ed by Smalley without a dissenting
vote. The Senate majority Is pledged
to this, and so it looks like railroad
property will be revalued.
