Value of Utilities Drops s1e1, ,7so.

Denver.-COlOrado public utilities, telephone and telegraph companies, railroads and private street car lines will pay taxes on $191, ,79O less than in 1920. This fact is revealed in the an- nual assessment roll made public by the State Tax Commission here
 The 1920 valuation fixed by the commission totalled $227, ,454, ,19O, while the 1921 valuation is $227 ,262, 400. The decrease is occasioned by the low earnings of the railroads and various public utilities.
 Low earning capacity of the Mis- souri Pacific resulted in a decrease of $230,000 in its assessment, while ap- proximately $2OO,OOO was taken off the Rio Grande Southern. The valuation of the Denver & Rio Grande, which is the largest in the state, was left at $41, ,SSS, 800. The second largest as- sessment is against the Colorado & Southern, which was left unchanged at $23, ,9S1, ,72O. No changes were made in the Santa Fe, Burlington or Union Pacific railroads.
 Among the railroads $4OOO00 was Topped off the Rock Island. The reason for this was said to be the fact that certain property was assessed last year upon which the railroad was not compelled to pay taxes.
 An increase of $79.OO0 was made in the assessment of the American Rail- way Express Company and private car lines were increased $S0,0OO. The Pullman Company will pay taxes on 1,101 ,OOO, the same as in 1920.
 A $2OO,OOO ascsessment was made in the assessment of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, while the Western Union Telegraph Company'h holdings in the state are valued at $2,O92, ,13O, an increase of about $3O,OOO.
 The holdings of the Denver Tram way Company have decreased a total of $406, $40 since 1920, while the prop erty value of the Denver Gas and Electric Light Company has increased since the last valuation exactly S1.1S3.- 150. A decrease also was made in the of the Colorado Power Com pany The 1921 valuation is placed at S5, ,602, 400, compared with $5,963, ,330 In 1920.
