REALTY BOARD To
VALUE RAILROADS
Appraisement of the Roads
Entering Ell Paso
To Be Made.

The Ell Paso Real Estate board, re-
Gently organized, will likely be called
upon to appraise the properties of the
various railroads having holdings in
the city.
The interstate commerce commission
requires that an appraisement be made
each year, as a part OF the reports of
the railroads to that body, and in most
cities where there is a real estate
board IL is called upon by the railroads
to make the appraisement. The mat
ter has already been takeH~ up with
the railroads by the local organiza ton.
To Apprnise Other Properties.
The appraising Of property is one
of the delegated functions OF the local
board, and it is anticipated that many
corporations and business houses will
employ the services Of the appraise-
ment committee in an effort to arrive
at accurate value of their real estate
holdings.
A little booklet describing this fGnc-
ton has been issued by the Real Es-
tate board. It shows that in many
cases business houses and corporations
have little idea Of the value of their
real estate, some carrying this prop
erty on their books at too low a figure.
while others have this asset too high.
