TO INVESTIGATE RATES|
Commissioners Take First
Step in Probe Of Public
Utility Charges.

With the object in view of making pos
sible an early investigation into rates
maintained by local public utility cor
porations, the District Commissioners. in

that an appropriation to establish a val
uation upon the properties Of the corpora
tons be made Immediately available.
The first step in the direction of as
whether local utility charges
are equitable was taken today when

ficia1s of the gas electric light, tele-
phone and other companies and prob
ably will be ready to submit an est-
mate within a week or two.
For Proposed Valuation.
The Commissioners will make provision
in the next budget for the proposed val
uation. but, as the act will not become ef-
fective until July 1, 1914. it is more than
likely the request will be made that the
appropriation for this particular purpose
be made Immediately available.
There Is possibility that the utilize!
commission may. with funds now avail

the properties of local taxicab companies
with the view of determining whether
any changes should be made in the SEIZED
uie Of rates maintained by these concerns
Such an Investigation Is being considered
1t probably will require year or mor'
to place a valuation upon the properties
of all utility corporations operating ir
the District of Columbia.

said to be fairly under way althO none
of the candidates have made much
of campaign for votes. New canGi-
dates may still enter and their chances
to win the auto will be as good as
tho they had been in before. A re-
port has been circulated that only
those candidates who develop enough
strength in the first count of the bal
lots to make it interesting for those in
the lead will be retained as contest
ants. This is not true. So candi-
dates name will be withdrawn after it
is once entered unless the candidate
so desires and no votes can be trans
ferred from one candidate to another
after they are once cast The fact
that candidate is behind in the first
count or in any other count does not
mean anything. The one at the tail
end today may lead all the rest tomor-
row.
Contestants should remember that
all ballots issued now must be cast
before August at which time the first
count will take place. In order to

BIG INCREASE
IN VALUATION
ASSESSED VALUATION OF MUS
sElsHEll COUNTY FOR 1918
Is TEN MILLION DOLLARS

The 1918 assessment roll which was
completed by Couty Assessor Park
and his force this week shows that
the assessed valuation of Musselshell
county is somewhat in excess of ten
million dollars or an increase of about
million and half over the 1912 as
sessment. The assessors books will
be turned over to the county clerk
and recorder next Monday when the
county commissioners will meet as q
board of equalization. The board will
then go over the figures of Assessor
Park, but it is not thought that any
material changes will be made.
A summary Of the 1913 assessment
together with comprison of the as
sessments since the establishment Of
the county which is printed below,
shows that there have been substan-
tial gains in nearly every item. The
greatest increase is shown in the value
of real estate in which is included
mineral reservations, the gain over
last year being one million. Coal re-
servations were assessed last year at
a great deal lower rate, afterwards be.
ing stricken out altogether by the
board upon the advice of the attorney
general. The present attorney gener
al has ruled that these reservations
are taxable, and they are therefore in
cluded. In assessing coal reserva
tions Assessor Park was guided to 8
great extent by the U. S. Geological
survey report. The valuation placed
upon N. coal reservations is $669,
$4,000.
