COAL LANDS, FINLAY REPORTS
TO THE STATE TAX COMMISSION
Metal Mines Are Valued at Approximately
$l9,5OO,OO0, of Which $15,OOO,OO Is Owned

Reduces Their Net Valuation
(sPECTAL CORRESPONDENCE TO MoRNINc JoURNAI0

)E TO MORNING JOURNAL)
in the mine appraisal made by
". r. Finlay and staff for the
state tax commission and just
filed with that body. OF this
total, some 6,500,000 acres ars
described as actually containing
coal, with only small fraction
leased or owned by coal COM
panies.
All the coal mines of the state
are appraised at value of $10,-
100000, which includes a suffic-
lent and fair valuation of the
entire properties, plants. improve
ments, lands and all of their
sources of revenue. When new
mines are added, the valuation
will have to be increased, the
report suggests. The report says:
ut seems to me that when such
investments are made the state
will be able to appraise them
accordingly, without unfairness
and without uncertainty. TO try
to allocate value in advance
amidst the huge undeveloped coal
tracts of the state is hardly less
than presumption and guess work.
The same conclusion, for the
same reason, applies to metal
mines. Unproductive mining
claims should of course be taxed
