Dear Sir: ...
| have your letter of the 15tl
instant and thank you for writing
me.
| am very glad to have the op.
portunity through you of assuring
your people that all railroad. tele.
phone, electric light, gas and. othel
public service corporations, are be
ing assessed this year at ASTRAL
cash value just as other property il
being assessed Heretofore all
other property in the State has
been assessed by tha County Tax
Assessors on the even years for a
period of two years, while railroad
and other public utility property
was assessed by the State Railroad
Commission on the odd years for a
period Of two years. This being
tue, 1919 was the assessment year
for railroad property. Under the
law as it then stood, this assess.
ment would have been for the
years 1919 and 1920. The Legisla.
ture realiz ng that it would be un-
just for any class of property to be
raised to actnal cash value in ad-
vance Of the assessment of all pro.
perty at its actual cash value pass
ed an act providing that the g.
sessment of railroad property,
which was made in 1919 should be
for 1919 only, and that the Rail-
road Commission should make a
new assessment in 1920 and should
assess all property in 1920 at its
actual cash value. This Act to
which / refer is Chapter No. l6O
of the Public Acts of 1919, and in
order that you may have this law
before you to make such use of it
as is necessary, I am enclosing here
with an extra copy of the statute.
/ beg to give you very definite
assurance that railroad property is
being assessed this year at actual
cash value, and taxpayers need
have no apprehension along this
line. l feel that it would help you
in your work and would be very
gratifying to your people to know
that railroad property is being as
sessed this year at actual cash val
