WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-It looks
as IL Congressman Samuel w. Beakes

master-General Burleson, who treated
the progressive Michigan congress
man rather shabbily in the matter OF
patronage distribution. Mr.. Beakes
who with Samuel w. Smith, of Pom
tiac, Republican, is member OF the
committee on postofiices and post
roads, opposed the postmaster general
on his plan TO cut the salaries of post
masters, which would have reduced
the salary of the postmaster at Grand
Rapids from $4,000 10 $4,000, but
would not have affected the Detroit
office. He also opposed the plan 10

riers by contractors who would bid
for the jobs on competitive basis
and the plan for the abolition OF as
sistant postmasters.
Mr.. Beakes protest was overruled
by Burleson's friends on the commit
tee, but it's recommendations we're
coldly received In the house which
ruled them not germane Although
these measures still linger in the text
OF the appropriation bill. the probable
tiles are that the rural carriers and
assistant postmasters will retain their

will not be cut.

BEMIS FIXES
D. u. R. VALUE
AT $l6,5OO,OO
Appraisal Represents ReprOduc-
tiOn Cost. With Depreciation
Allowance
FRANCHISES TO ADD
$2,000,000 TO TOTAL
Paving Between Tracks, Worth
S950,000, Not Included
in Sum

Prof Edward w Bemis appraises
the physical property owned by the
ID. u. X. in the one-fare zone at Sl6,-
100000. This figure, representing the
reproduction cost, less depreciation,
as of July /, 1914. includes 222 miles
of track, franchise values not includ-
ed. The latter will be determined
within the next two weeks.
BY direction of Corporation Counsel
Lawson the paving between the
tracks has not been included al
though that part, put In at the ex-
pense OF the company. has been sep
arately valued, and amounts approx
mately TO s950,000. The ID. u. X. land
has been appraised on the basis OF
the values of the land adjoining, each
of the 62 properties owned by the
company. The board of municipal
railway commissioners announced the
appraisal figure, Monday afternoon,
reserving comment on 1t until such a
time as the commissioners can make
a careful analysis of the results or
Prof. Bemis' investigation. The de-
tailed appraisal has not yet been
turned over to the board.
The Junction-ave. line Is not includ-
ed In the appraisal. Commissioners OF
Public Works Fenkell. who kept tab
on the cost to the ID. u. r. OF con-
structing that line, figures the con-
struction price between $4,000 and
$4,000 a mile. II is estimated the
franchise valuations will add about
$2,00O.000 more TO Prof. Bemis' ap-
praisal figures, bringing the total val
uation well within $20,000.000.
Prof Bemis' figure is almost half
of the sum estimated by the company
last spring as the reproduction value
OF its property within the one-fare
zone. The company's figure was s32,-
100000. The appraisal made by Fred
erick T. Bancroft for the committee
of fifty fixed the value Of the physical
property Of the company at $ll,479.16.
The franchise value as computed by
Prof. Henry c. Adams, OF the Univer-
sity of Michigan In 1909, was $4,246,-
207 756.
Since the Bancroft appraisal the
company has added nearly 80 miles
of track and otherwise increased it's
physical properties. while its franchise
valuations have fallen, owing to expi-
rations.
