the application OF the Public Service

Board decided to make a ruling on
Monday. l.. D. Howard Gilmour, OF

Schneider, one of its engineers, who APP
peared a week ago, presented facts and
figures on which the arguments were
based. ~
What these municipalities want to
know and what the county board is
seeking to find out is what constitute
the traction, gas and electric properties
in their taxing district and what value
is to be placed upon the poles, wires.

In the cas- of Bloomfield an assess-
ment of $500 had been made IN the
corporations gas property, $4,000 on It's
electric property and $50, 900 ON it's trac-
ton holdings. Reductions were asked
to $3S, 500, SIG, 400 and $4,000, respect
