TAX VALU ALTON
OF rail WAYS In
STATE BOOSTED.
BY 100000
Increase Is Based On High
er Value Of Roads,
Says Kositzky

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2S.-A
straight ten per cent boost in as
sessed valuation was handed the
principal railways operating in
North Dakota by the state board OF
equalization today. The railway
companies came before the board
asking that their assessed valuation
be decreased. The state boards an
swer is an increase Of approximate
ly $10,000,O00 apportioned among the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
500 Line, Northwestern and St
Paul railways. The boost is made,
State Auditor Kositzky stated to-
day on the basis Of actual Increased
values in these railway properties
The Great Northern, assessed last
year on $28,318,277, this year will
pay taxes on $2,S51, 1877 more. The
increase for the Northern Pacificc,
assessed last year on $24,SS7, 17S, will
be $2,438,717. The 500 line and 9TH
er railways will be increased prop
ortionately, and the taxes will be
levied on 80 per cent of the as
sessed valuation at the regular
state rate of four mills.
The Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Western Express COM
panies were each boosted 20 per
cent, and the Fargo was given
a ten per cent increase. All tele-
graph property was increased 20
per cent, and similar boost was
given the Pullman company.
Every railway in the state pro-
tested its assessment last year, when
taxes were levied on 80 per cent of
the actual valuation instead of 90
per cent, as heretofore. None of
the railways operating in this state
has yet paid its taxes for the last
fiscal year in full. The issue is yet
undecided in the courts, and some
OF the ccounties have accepted a
partial tender Of taxes.
