PUBLIC UTILITIES
1916 TAX LOWER
VALUATION RAISED EIGHTEEN
MILLIONS BUT TAX RATE
is REDUCED.
MONEY GOES TO SCHOOL FUND
As Result of Reduction In Rate Few
r Corporations Have Asked for
Lower Valuations.
tFrom Our Special Correspondent

NrIom Our opeclai correspondent
Lansing.
Michigan's specific tax on railroads,
car companies. express companies, car
loaning companies, and telephone and
telegraph lines. all of which goes 10
the primary school fund, will amount
this year to $4,62S,594.46.
This is reduction over the previous
year Of little more than 100000.
Though the final figures of the state
tax commission sitting as the state
board of assessors show that they
have given the utilities an increase
valuation of s1S.O0O,000, the tax is
the average rate of taxation through
out the state is much lower The av.
erage rate must be used as a basis
for computing the specific tax rate
to be applied to the railroSls and 9TH
srs.
The rate for last year was s2041
as compared to $17.05 this year.
AS result in the reduction OF the
rate there were few of the corpora
tons appearing before the state board
Of assessors to ask for a reduction
in their assessed valuations. and the
figures are changed little from the
tentative figures Of the state board
announced before reviews were held.
Some Of the larger railroads are
raised considerably in assessed valua-
ton over last year. The Michigan
Central is advanced from s60.075, 900
to s62,625. 900; the Pere Marquette
from $26,000,000 TO S28,500.000; the
Grand Trunk system from s2S,710,OO0
to s30,415 900.
The Michigan State Telephone Co,
IL boosted from $1S,250,OO0 to $751;
100000. while the Southern Michigan
Is cut from 100000 to $650,oO0.
