Reduce Assessment
On CoalProperties

MORGANTowE. W Va, July IS
Announcement has been made by the
board Of equalization and review
which has been in session for over
two weeks. that the assessments on
coal acreage OF Monongalia county for
the coming year will be lowered from
five and one-half to y per cent. the
percentage OF decrease varying with
the situation OF the coal properties
with respect to facilities for operation
The reduction of coal assessments Is
the most important change made BY
the equalization board in years. and
roughly estimated, will lower the as
sessed value Of coal properties in this
county $l.275.000.
The reduction in coal assessments
comes as result Of the coal market
slump which has prevailed throughout
this section for the past year and
which became more acute with the re
Ownership Of J. v. Thompson. the
wealthy Uniontown operator. and his
partners some months ago. The board
OF equalization is OF the opinion tina,
the lowering OF the coal assessment
will so along way 10 relieve the stress
OF the situation here in mongolia
county and believes the new assess
ments will bring the properties back
more nearly to their normal valuation
above which they were lifted several
years ago by the frenzied trading on
the coal market,
Last years assessment placed the
valuation OF the river front coal or
the west side OF the river at about
SITS per acre. the values ranging on
down TO $50 per acre for coal in the
Battelle district. situated the greatest
distance back from the river. The
river front coal will not be valued al
about $l65 per acre and the Battelle
coal at about $50 per acre.
The total assessment OF all proper
ties OF all kinds in the county for the
past year was approximately $4,000,
900 and Of this amount, prominent coal
men OF this city yesterday estimated
the coal valuation to be about 80 pei
cent of this. or $l5,00000O.
Accepting this rough estimate and
taking So per cent as the mean basis
of reduction. the decrease in valuation
Of the county coal properties will be
approximately $l,275,O0O.

Coal Men Meet
In Cleveland

WHEELING. July 27.-The meeting
which was held at Columbus. o.. last
week between coal operators and rail-
road officials. being closed without
a decision in the matter OF revision
of freight rates, caused another meet
ing &c be called for today at Cleve-
land, and Baltimore and Ohio officials
from this state and OHIO are in con-
ference with the operators. The oper-
atorS claim that the rates existing are
unfair and discriminating and result
in leaving their markets open to the
West Virginia operators and charged
that the rates are the cause OF the
mines in Eastern Ohio not being re-
opened following the long strike.
Operators in the Buckeye state
claim that the making OF rates by law
was attempted last winter at the reg.
Ular session of the King and Borhies
bills, but that the railroads put up
such stubborn opposition that the
project had to be abandoned. There
were limitations there at that time
there would be readjustments that
would meet some OF the objections OF
coal operators who asserted their
business was menaced by the alleged
pereterenCe shown West Virginia.
The claim OF the operators last win
ter was that their proposal for statu-
airy coal rates became involved with
the two-and-a-half-cent-tare legislation,
and that the proposition was not con-
sidered on its merits. The claim also
is made that the rates offered by the
railroads are substantially higher
than the rates they charge for trans
porting. West Virginia coal. and as
a result the mines in Ohio are not

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-The Alas
kan Engineering Commission, which
is TO build the government railroad
from Seward on the Pacific All miles
on Fairbanks in the interior, has re-
cetved a permit from the Forest Ser.
vice to cut $1,000 900 feet Of timber
in the Chugach National Forest for
use in constructing the new line. The
permit was issued by the District
Forester at Portland. Oregon, who has
direct supervision OF the Alaskan for

OF March 4, last, which authorized
the Secretary OF Agriculture TO per-
NIT the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission and the Navy Department 10

use in government works. The tim

along the right.ot-way OF the proposed
railroad, which runs through the
Chugach National Forest for several
miles.
Experiments and tests Of Alaskan
spruce and henloCk are being made
at the Forest Service laboratory at
Seattle, Washington. and so far have
substantiated the opinion Of Ioresters
that Alaskan timber is sufficiently
strong for practically all structural
purposes. While these tests are go
