not be used arbitrarily to reduce the
book value of the railroads by $780,
100000.
Mr.. Brantley asserted that the time
required for construction OF any good
sized railroad property covered such a
period Of years that a condition of alb
solute newness never could be ascer-
tanned. and consequently the condition
OF the component parts Of n property
as found by the government neces-
sarily would represent sum consid-
erably less than the investment.
