is given fixed value according to the
valuation of the farming community
on either side of the right of way. In
cities. tho task is much moro complex
Hero, railroad property is divided into
zones, according TO the value of sur
rounding property. To obtain correct
hGures. the investigators depend upon
real estate dealers, bankers, business
mon, and property owners and ten
ants FOR their information. as well as
personal observation. Mr.. ST. John
expects to finish his work in Pueblo
by Jan. 90. ana will go from Pueblo
to Tulsa, Okla.
The work of the investigators is now
practically complete, according to Mr..
st. John. and win be finished by
summer OF 1921. Some Of the results
OF the appraisal are already published
In business form in Washington. The
complete report will not be published
for a year or two.
Mr.. ST. John was rctlcent concern
Ing the exact purpose of the immense
task he and other government en-
ployes are performing. The act OF con-
gross of 1914. authorizing the work. did
not state the purpose.
1t is understood, however, that the
government desires that the Interstate
commerce commission be given exact
data on what tho railroads of the
United States are worth. since this
commission has rate fixing and regu-
lating powers. Tho state will be al
lowed 10 investigate the reports of the
investigation, and will thus be furn-
ished bases for flSation OF railroad
taxation.
Mr.. st. John states that in no COM
munity he has visited has he on
countered more cordial and friendly
cooperation in the work than in Pue-
bio. The county and city officials. the
railroad men, land owners. bankers
and everyone to whom he has been
forced to so for Information. has
treated him with the utmost courtesy.
he said.
The work of the appraisal OF the land
of the Santa Fc railroad here is now
complete, and the work of valuation of
the property of the Denver and Rio
Grandc and the Missouri Pacific rail-
roads hero Is soon to be completed. In
the western district. with Kansas city
as headquarters, there are 10000 miles
of railroad. according to the land ap-
praiser.
Tho task Of valuing the rolling stock.
buildings, repair works. YARDS. etc.
belonging TO the various roads is all
taken caro- of by investigating cngi-
neers, employed by the Interstate com
mercc commission.
The report. when complete. will furn-
ish exact and complete data on the
actual value of the railroads of tho
United States. At the time tho act of
congress was passed. there was some
talk of the governments taking over
the railroads. After the war, and the
federal experiment in railroad admin
istration, however, this talk is no
longer heard. Tho work of appraisal is
nevertheless being pushed to conf
pletion. since the government con-
siders that it is indispensable.

Auto Tags on the Way

A sample as It were. OF the
automobile license TAGS for the use of
Pueblo county autoists, is on the way.
and may reach Pueblo any day.
Yesterday the county clerks office
received shipping bill which relates
tho fact that on January s. 1921 GER
tain boxes OF the badly needed tags
had been shipped to Pueblo via tho
Rock Island railroad from the city Of
St. Paul. which is in the state OF
Minnesota
The document rccitcs what numbers
inclusive have been sent. and a rnathc-
matical computation based on the
aforesaid information as to numbers,
brings out the fact that just 500, no
moro and no less. have bccn shipped.
Now. how much use do you suppose
500 tags out OF the required moro than
5000 will be? Just about a two days
supply. Judging from tho manner the
auto owners roll in for their licenses
when they know there is anything to
roll In for.
Tho supposition is that the manu-
facturers are making n little batch for
one county, and then a little batch for
another county in the hope of keeping
all the counties OF Colorado from
"kickinE' at the delay.
"If that's the idea that St Paul,
Minnesota, contractors have OF keeping
the people OF this state satisfied" uaid
an official today. then they have an
other idea due them"
