Make Ready for
Yard Rate Case
Report on Physical Valuation of
Union Stock Yards is Reported to
State Railroad Commission.
(From a staff correspondent.l


LINCOLN, May &-(Special)-E. c.
Hurd, engineer in charge of the physical
valuation department Of the State Railway
commission, has made a report TO the com
mission showing the valuation OF the Union
Stock Yards at South Omaha. This report
will be passed upon by the commission. and
then used nthe hearing on the application
of the stock yards TO increase rates.
Mr.. Hurd reported the present value of
the company's property to be 81, 726,7 60
and the reproduction value (new) 81 zig, 412.49
The value as reported by the company is
as follows; Present value, g. sol. S9O57; re-
production value, S2744,SSSS4 Mr. Hurd 8
present valuation Is S765. s.ss less than the
value placed on the property by the com
pany. The value refers only to the rail-
road property. ..y ...
The item upon which the engineer and
the company differ mostly is the right
of-way. Mr.. Hurd valued the right-of-way
and the station grounds, at$671 49S and the
company returned it at $127S, SO0 Mr. Hurd
treats the rails in his report as being new.
when In fact, he said they were second
hand, for the reason the rails were not
new from the mill as represented in price
by the Stock Yards company's report.
In other items, where difference occurred
Mr.. Hurd has treated the property in cues
ton as though the plant was put in within
reasonable period of construction and
not spread over number of years with
Incidental periods of construction. The
engineer said he deems the report of the
Stock Yards company one representing q
fair service value In many respects and moi
