In short, we are asked to believe that it

Although one of the great and successful
corporations of Maryland, it does pay
none.
The assessed valuation of the real
property OF the Consolidated Gas Com
pany, pus credits for taxpaying invest
ments, was, in 1911, $11,145775. The
State Tax Commissioner fixed the total
| value of its shares at 81, 746 The

tax was levied, was 1901, 81. This is
supposed to cover at least the Companys

whatever corporate excess Colonel Schley
has estimated the company 20 possess.
The Company recently filed with the
Public Service Commission an estimate
in which its real and personal property
was fixed at 6.+to,S45. This, the law
specifically requires, should be taken as
the minimum value of it's stock. Ac-
