Under the new assessments of rail
road property for 1917, which have just
been completed by the state Corpora
ton Commission, tho city of Richmond
VIII gain S1S.139 in taxes from the six
railroads and one terminal company
operating in the city. This increase in
taxation results from an increase OF
S1,099.335 in taxable values owned by
the public service corporations, Il large
part of which is made up by the new
Richmond Terminal Company. whose
station property on West Broad Street
is valued at S30S.9l6.
The city of Richmond was well rep
resented at the hearings before the
Corporation Commission recently, and
introduced the testimony of several
witnesses as to tho valuation Of nu-
merous parcels OF land in various sec
tions Of the city. The commission in
several instances Increased the value of
land over the figures submitted by the
railroad companies. The assessments
are believed to have been satisfactory
to both the city and to the railroad
companies.
G.. & O. SHOWS GREATEST
INCREASED ASSESSMENT
Tho greatest increase during the
year was that of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway. In 1916 the real and
personal property of that company in
Richmond was valued ats .OS3.950, as
assessments. making an increase of
se73.654 The Richmond. Fredericka-
burg and Potomac Railroad Company
was next. with an increased valuation
of s236.639. The city will receive taxes
this year from the terminal company
on it's new joint passenger station for
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac and the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Companies. for the first time.
There was little change In the status
Of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company. It's property in Richmond
during the year was increased by the
addition Of 1858 miles OF sidetrack and
by total property value of s19234
which was the lowest OF any of the
railroads operating into the city.
INCREASE Is SEEN IN
POWER COMPANY's VALUE
The value of tho roadway and track
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company remained the same as last
year, which was S3O6.250. There was
an increase. however, OF S273,654 in the
value of other properties owned by the
company on which the city will collect
taxes for the first time. The value OF
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad Company's property in
creased s237.249. but there was n de-
crease of s610 in the value of roadway
and tracks. making the net increase
only s236.639.
With n slight increase in its track
mileage and property owned, the Sea-
board Air Line Railway Company re-
S523S2. and the Southern Railway in
creased $107.577. The Virginia Railway
and Power Companys electric proper
ties increased S65,055 in value. and its
light and power properties s35,s7S.
making total increase Of s1o0,933.
