RAILROAD VALUATION
DATA NEAR COMPLETION
Ten Year Task of I. c. C..
Enters Final Stages.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission is entering upon
the final stages of it's ten year task in
volved in the valuation Of railroad pron-
erty In the United States. Within the
next six weeks il will put the fndinaa
OF It's experts as to the value OF fortv
railroad properties UP for criticisms and
arguments of railroad representatives
who may wish TO alter the tentative de-
cisions already announced.
1t Is expected that by the end Of the
current fiscal year (June 80. 1929 all
except six of the so-called $4,000. 900
roads will have been served with the un-
derlying reports.
Its valuation work, the commission
said, was "the most monumental scien-
tific valuation of property ever at
tempted" since II called for the inven-
torying Of equipment, real estate and
rolling stock scattered over 100000 miles
OF railroad lines. It will take two more
years to prepare all the tentative reports.
The valuation was required by Con-
gress In order that the commission might
be able TO fix railroad rates at n point
yielding a reasonable return on the prop
erty investment in transportation.

CENTRAL'S PERSONNEL
TO HAVE NEW HEAD
JIG. WoIber to Take Charge
November I.

.John G. walber. executive secretary
OF the bureau OF information OF the
Eastern railways. will become vice-pres-
ident in charge OF personnel OF the entire
New York Central system on November
II was learned yesterday that Mr..
Walber had rendered his resignation
from the bureau OF information at the
meeting of the Eastern Presidents Con-
ference here last week and that The
action had been approved by officials Of
the carriers operating north OF the Ohio
and cast OF the Mississippi rivers.
So far as could be learned last night
no one has as yet been appointed 20
aucceed Mr.. walber in his capacity as
supervisor of statistics for the Eastern
lines. Considerable significance was at
tached to this situation, since Ii is recog-
nlzed that II will require time FOR the
rebuilding of the organization created
by Mr.. Walber. This Is taken TO mean
that there will be no efforts by the car
riers to bring about reductions in wages
for some time, because in making appn-
cation 10 the Labor Board for such
reduction voluminous data must be COM
piled and submitted to the boari for
consideration.

RAILWAY EXPRESS
ASKS HIGHER RATES
Files Petition With |. c. c.,
Predicting Deficit Unless Re-
lief Is Forthcoming.

The American Railway Express Conn
pany has filed petition with the Inter
state Commerce Commission for an inn
mediate increase in express rates. The
petition predicts that an estimated def
icit OF s13,ooo.o0o. not including return
on investment OF the express and rail-
road companies during the current year,
will continue in the future unless relief
Is forthcoming. Officials OF the express
company expressed yesterday their be-
lief that the commission would weave
the question OF rate increase into the
general investigation OF the express sit
uation scheduled TO take place-in Wash
ington on November 20.
In the application for the rate ad-
vance, the amount OF which is not speci-
fled, George c. Taylor, president OF
the company, points out that the total
gross revenues OF the company for 1921
amounted to s29S.976,59l, against which
were incurred both by the company and
by the railroads in the conduct of the
express business expenses amounting TO
approximately $33S,147,7s2, leaving
deficit Of S39.171,191, not including re-
turn on investment of the express and
railroad companies.
Regarding the situation in the current
year. Mr.. Taylor says that according to
the best estimates which your petitioner
and the aforesaid railroads can make at
this time the gross revenues for the
calendar year 1922 will be approx
mately S290,0O0, 900 and expenses $685.
100000. deficit of s13,OOo,o0o, not in
Guiding return on investment of the ex-
press and railroad companies"
The petition further points out that
both the express and the railroad
companies have conducted their business
on the most economical basis consis-
tent with good service: that while costs
of operation have been declining due TO
the gradual return to normal of all
operating expenses and general con-
ditions, your petitioner believes that the
ratio of operating expenses will con-
tinue practically the same in the future
so that there will be at least the same
deficit in 1922, 1923 and future years
unless an increase in express rates is
granted"
TT is desirable says the petition.
that certain changes be made in the
classifications and ratings of articles
rendered for transportation by express,
and that these changes will be proposed
In detail in event the hearing is
granted
According to officials OF the company.
about 95 per cent of the railroads or
the country already have signed the
uniform express contract. Additions are
being recorded from. time to time and
II is confidently expected that approx
imately 100 per cent. enrolment will be
realized before the end of the year.
For time after the matter was up be-
fore the meeting of member roads OF the
Association of Railway Executives at
Chicago it looked as though some of
81. Il t.r1t farA
it was suggested that these carriers might
form their own express companies as
was done in the case of a southern car
rier. The heavy expenses incident to
the breaking of the shopmen's strike
were said to have deferred the recall
citrant roads from their intention for
another year at least.
