THREE-CENT LINES COST
ONLY $43,972 A MILE


ment paid by the city was $3.50 per
barrel during the hveyear period
from 1904 to 1908. Witness Rifen-
Derick stated that his figure OF sieO
was taken from the average for Ave
years beginning with 1903. and the
city figure for the period was shown
to be $145. The 1gures will be In
troduced later In direct examination.
Then Mr. Lucking led up to the
cost per mile, according TO the figures
or the appraisal, and Mr.. Rifenberick
testified that the cost for all classes
OF tracks, including all the real es-
tate and equipment in use was $l34,-
79S. He was asked II the lines were
in the same condition in 1909 as they
were when they were constructed.
The witness explained that additions
had probably been made TO take care
OF heavier traffic. though his inquiry
did not go into that subject, Then
the report OF the directors of the De
troit Railway Co. To the secretary or
state, showing cost OF construction,
was produced, and Mr.. I-ucking asked
the witness If much OF the property
included In the original cost was not
entirely valueless in 1909, and how it
happened that he valued the road at
a higher figure then, than the cost
shown in 1895.
"A railroad which has not In
creased in value for IA years cannot
be conceived of in this day and age"
said the expert.
Attorney Lucking then turned to
the side-door cars and tried to get
the witness TO admit that there had
been depreciation in the value Of the
cars after IA years use.
There Is nothing In the appraisal
to show what the cars are worth to-
day." returned the witness. "A car
can be operated for IA years, and II
properly kept up be as good for the
purpose for which IL was intended as
il was when II was bought"
The next line of cross-examination
referred TO the practice Of making
depreciation charges, and Mr.. Luck
ing asked II 1t were not fact tha;
the intertates commerce commission
required depreciation charge OF four
per cent compounded annually.
The commission allows a depre-
citation cahrge,- replied the witness,
but it does not fix the rate which
shall be charged. That is left to the
various companies themselves"
There was some further explana,
tion OF the depreciation charge and
its significance in fixing the value OF
property, and the hearing then ad.
journed for luncheon.
