The PHYSICAL valuation department of the
state Railway commission is getting along
toward the finish of the valuation OF the
Northwestern, Minneapolis Omaha ana
the Missouri Pacific railroads. The de-
partment will place a value only on the
physical property of these companies ana
while the tabulation is by no means COM
pleted the indications are the figures will
show a higher valuation than the valuation
fixed by the State oBard of Assessment
Should this be true it Is likely that the
commission will carefully review the work
of the department for 1t may mean that
the railroads would at once ask that they
be allowed to increase freight rates in order
to collect the same interest on the larger
valuation than they are now collecting on
the valuation of the State oBard of Assess
| ment.
