COMMISSIONERS ORDER
CITY RAILWAYS VALUED
Appraisal of Property to Be Made
Immediately-Forecasts Mu-
nicipal Ownership.

Following up their recent action in fa-
coraby reporting on the Crosser bill for
municipal ownership of local street rail-
way lines. the District Commissioners to-
day took another step regarded as indi-
eating their desire that this class of util-
tiles he brought under government con-
trol when they directed that the work
on the valuation of the public service
corporations be begun with an appraisal
of the properties of the street railway
companies.
The order was given by the Commits
siouers acting as members of the public
utilities board. In view of the fact that
before any utility may be acquired and
operated by the municipality valuation
upon its holdings must necessarily be
established. the Commissioners selection
of the properties of the street railway
companies as the first to be appraised is
regarded as significant Indication of
their intention to lay the groundwork for
the accomplishment of the purposes out
lined in the CroSSer bill
