A straight ten per cent boost in as

cipal railways operating in North Da-
kota by the state board of equaliza-
tion today. The railway companies
came before the board asking that
their assessed valuation be decreased.
The state boards answer is an in
crease Of approximately $4,000, 900,
apportioned among the Great Northern

western and St. Paul railways. The
boost is made. State Auditor Ksitzky

Every railway in the state protested
it's assessment last year, when taxes
were levied on 80 per cent of the ac-

as heretofore. None of the railways,
operating in this state has yet paid
