land railroad has written to the Iowa rail-
road commissioners thanking them for their
complete and exhaustive report on the
Green Mountain wreck in which a Rock Is
land train was ditched while on Great
Western tracks. He conmends the COM
mission for having made such a thorough
| investigation and adds:
while / think such lessons as we should
learn from this accident have been tho
roughly impressed upon the minds OF our
people, yet this report serves TO emphasize
our responsibilities In connection with the
operation OF trains. particularly our re-
sponsibllity in detouring our trains over the
lines OF other railroads"
He adds that the Rock Island last year
put In use 100 steel passenger cars and has
| sixty more under construction, and also
installed In eastern Iowa automatic block
signals.
Tax Levy TO BE Reduced.
This year, not following the precedent of
last, the state executive council will not
make any readjustment of personal prop
Eerty or real estate assessments, and the re-
turns made TO the state auditor will stand
for taxing purposes. The council has also
decided that no material changes will be
made In regard to assessment of the express
lines or the sleeping car and equipment
companies. The telephone assessment Is
finished and all that is needed is to have
the clerical work Of figuring UP the amounts
made. This leaves the state tax levy
either at the rate S.l mills or to have re-
lductlon Of one-tenth OF a mill, which will
be sufficient to raise the needed revenue
because of the enormous increase In per.
sonal property assessments.
