(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Oct. 23:-The final ad-
justment of the railroad and canal
property assessments in New Jersey
for 1911, which has just been COM
pleted by the State Board of As
SCISSORS, shows that the valuations
are $324,541,117. The total assess
ment for 1910 was $286,546,453.
showing an increase this year W.
last year of $37,994,664 This in
crease will mean that the railroad
companies will pay in actual taxes
to the state this year $736,005 more
than they did last year.. AS soon as
the final revision of the assessments
was completed and verified the re-
port was filed with State Comptroller
Edward l. Edwards, as requested by
law. There was considerable delay
in making the report, caused by n
fact that the State Board Of Assess
ors found it a physical impossibility
to complete the assessments within
the time required by law. Many Of
the railroad companies appealed
from the first assessment and this
added greatly to the burden of work
which the board had to undertake.
The valuations against the eight
principal railroad systems show an
increase in every cas- except in thai
of the Susquehanna, where there Is
a small decrease. The increases and
the one decrease are as follows:
Pennsylvania railroad increased
from $90,844,612 last year to $110,-
77S,317 this year.
Central railroad increased from
$56,68S,676 last year to $~61,574,204

Lehigh Valley increased from
$24,466,594 last year to $33,079,333
year.
Erie railroad increased from $685.
704,328 last year to $~27,409,993
this year.
