lation to facts and actual figures
have been applied in determining
values and that gross errors, seeming
ly inexcusable, appear repeatedly
throughout the report.
Possibly the most startling of all
the errors is to accl.dit as Great
Northern railroad property, thirty
| five bridges, built, owned and paid for
Dy the cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis. This little item alone adds
$678, 1913. Other bridges which actual
lys cost the railway company $685.
057, are listed at S971, 290, and TWEEN
ty-nine railway stations, which cost
the company only S159,419 are re-
corded as being worth $201 ,407.
But those items are trivial in COM
parison with such things engineer
ing, grading and track laying,in which
the mistakes foot UP to millions. The
division Of valuation appears to have
and surfacing. Practical experience
allowed 81, lat a mile for track laying
in Minneapolis has demonstrated
time and again that the. expense of
such work ranges from $500 TO 5000
a mile, therefore, the figure of
So, 39l 900 for that item should be
corrected to read '$1,617,0oO. In the
matter of grading, the division of
valuation allows an excess of $780,
211 cubic yards by manipulation of
such dubious items as substance
and "shrinkage." The Commission
therefore would cut s2,261 900 from
the grading allowance. BY the use Of
various fallacious methods, the Cow
eminent engineers have figured the
allowance for engineering at $2,765y-
900. The Commission insists that

Thus far the Commission has at
tackled the valuation report only along
broad and general lines, but is con-
WINGED that if more details were
available and careful clsck was
made, the Valuation could be reduced
by another s1,000,oO0 or sl,500,0Oo
1t is hoped by the Minnesota Rail-
road Commissioners that the Inter

accord hearing on the protest from
Minnesota and an onnortufity be
given to attack the valuation with
verified facts and figures.
