The statement by the commission was

ing based on what it would cost 20 re-
produce minus actual depreciation. The
statement Of the commission also that the
Gulf Coast lines were 172 miles long.
Mr.. Pyeatt says that the valuation quot
cd is that of the New Orleans, Texas and
Mexico, one Of the railroads in the system
and that even this is q low valuation for
this one line. He SAYS that the entire svs-
tenn i more than 900 miles in trackage. lie
says furthermore there is only 4 canitali-
cation of $50, 900 900 instead of 100000
900 quoted by the commission. Against
this $780, 900 900 there are only SO. O00. 900
in securities at 6 per cent against that
capital.
Mr.. Pveatt's statement follows:
"The physical valuation of the proper
ties OF the New Orleans, Texas and Mcxi-
co just completed and announced BY the in
~terstate commerce commission, covers
only 172 miles Of main line branches and
