arguments yesterday before the Inter

to the commissions valuation OF

Charles f.. Hughes, counsel for the

no right to include the total value of

q perpetual lease from that road and
the New York and Harlem Railroad
for use of the terminal up to 90 per
cent of it's capacity.
Under the lease. Mr.. Hughes said
the New Haven has an actual proper
tv as a Joint owner in the terminal,
and il should not he included in the
New York Central valuation except
as to the proportion its use bears TO
the total value of the terminal, which
he placed at $129 100000.
Charles w. Needham, solicitor OF
the commissions bureau Of valuation.
characterized the New Havnn's inter
est in the terminal as one of trackage
rights and declared that 1t had been
the practice of the commission to in
clude such property in the valuation
of the owning company and to make
mention OF the joint use in the report
