RAILROADS WANT
CITY ASSESSMENT
CUT OFF ON LAND
Special Sitting of Revision
Board to Hear Pennsy
Appeals
FREIGHT SITE PROPERTY
Corporations Contend Figures
Should Be Reduced More
Than $4,000

Formal objection to the assessment
of Pennsylvania and Cumberland Val
ley railroad companies in the Second
and Tenth Wards was filed this morn
ing by company officials at n special
sitting of the Board of Tax Revision
and Appeals.
That the two corporations would
probably file objections to the assess
ments was indicated to Council as a
recent netting when the newly COM
pleted subways at Front and Second
streets were formally turned over to
the city for acceptance. The railroads
intimated then that question of tax
alton would be raised at the sitting
of the Tax Revision Board.
The railroad property was assessed
! for 1916 at the same figure as in the
| previous triennial assessment, less the
value of the houses and other build
ings which had been torn down ia
make way for the freight yard i'm
provements. Under the law railroads
are exempt from city taxation OF
property actually used for operation
! of its lines. The State tax covers theil
liability.
The companies contend that the
ground from which the houses have
been cleared to make the houses have
provements, should also be eX'
empted since 1t will be used in the
operation of it's lines. Huge freight
stations will be erected. it is believed
sometime during the coming summer
In the Second Ward alone between
$4,000 and $4,000 would be cut from
the valuations if the corporations
contention holds good. In the Tent
Ward the same question is raised
where the new Division street freigh
station has been erected.

MONASTR FALL
NOW DOUBTED
Athens Dispatch Reports Ser
bian Gains and Less Seri-
Gus Situation

An Athens dispatch to London, filed
yesterday, casts some doubt on the un-
official reports that Monastir is in the
hands of the Bulgarians.
The dispatch reports a Serbian ad-
vance at Monastir and added that the
intentions towards Monastir of the
Bulgarians who had occupied Priler
were unknown. London, however, ac-
cepts the report of Monastir's fall as
probably authentic. The situation with
the Serbian army is less serious than
most reports have indicated. according
tospersons recently at the front, a
London news agency dispatch from
Athens states.
The troops are declared to be re-
treating in perfect order and to have

ally intact.

HARRISBURG REAL

TO BE ORGANIZED
Realty Men Will Form Body
Aimed to StandardiZe
Business
UNIF ORM COMMISSIONS
To Devise and Support Legis-
lation Calculated to Inn
prove Conditions

There is widespreadinte through
out the city among real estate people
in the Forthcoming organization of q
Harrisburg Real Estate Board. For
years the active representatives of this
important local interest have felt that
there should be greater cooperation
to the end that those who are engaged
in the real estate business as we'll as
their clients should have the benefit
of harmony of action.
Frederick Myers of Philadelphia
will address the real estate men OF
the city at the Harrisburg Club next
Tuesday evening when it is under
stood the Harrisburg Real Estate
Board will be organized. One of the
leading real estate representatives of
the city said to-day:
The object OF this board is to
establish and standardize the bus
mess of real estate brokerage so
II shall obtain and hold the con-
fidence and respect of both own
ers and purchasers; to maintain
the dignity and responsibility OF
its members in their duty to the
public; to institute rules for uni
form commissions, customs and
practices so far as they may be-
reasonable; to cultivate and en-
force fair dealing and fos-
ter good fellowship among
its members in their business of
buying, selling, renting. and man
aging real estate and loaning
money thereon; to procure even
taxation and to especially guard
and advance the interest of real
estate ownership and to devise
and support legislation calculated
TO improve real estate conditions.
Big Year Ahead
Real estate men are looking forward
to a big year in 1916 and all the indi-
cations are faborable to wide devel-
.opment in building and plotting of va
cant property. There is general
conviction that Harrisburg is ready
for another big advance movement in
its industrial and commercial activi-
ties and in an expansion of all its i'm
portant interests. The meeting at the
Harrisburg Club on Tuesday night is
an important step in this direction.
The real estate men can do a great
deal for any city and by standing to-
gether, eliminating those practices
which tend to decentralization and hav-
ing constantly in mind the improve
ment of Harrisburg they will be able
to accomplish much through the pro-
posed organization.
